i HAVE A little PB JOB FOR SOMEONE - will pay

mrhelp · Post by **mrhelp** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 8:04 am

I have a program written in pure basic. yes i have the source code. This program has a list of channels on the right hand side for tv . When someone clicks on one of the channels, windows media player or real player starts the channel playing on the left hand side.

What i am after is: when somoene clicks on a channel a window appears over the media player saying "connecting to satellite" for say 10secs . Then the window then dissappears and the tv channels stream is displayed

if you think you can do this email us hothitcd@hotmail.com
and your price . prefer paypal payment

Okay... So you were able to write that program and not this little feature?!
I hope your not just modifying the source of my program... (that would get you in trouble)

Question to fellow PureBasic users:
What do you think, should I remove the source code for my free Internet TV player? (or maybe just put a GNU license in it, will it really help?)
I don't want other people modifying it and sell it all over the internet when I made it...

That's what I thought immediately when I saw his post.

I bet he is. Im sorry joachim; i guess the only way is to remove the source. I don't know why people can't just learn instead of pretending they made something.

"connecting to satellite", sounds too noobish to be true.

why don't you think about licensing your codes before publishing?

(or maybe just put a GNU license in it, will it really help?)

that's what I mean.

giving some OpenSource project the GPL or any other possible License
will prefent most commercial Programmers from stealing it,
because worldwide there are enough lawyers specialized on these topics.

as long you don't protect your codes in any way...
just yesterday there was a guy in the german forum who tried to tell me he had written a code I published half a year ago.

there are enough assholes worldwide who pretend to have written code they have stolen,
and there are enough dumbasses who buy their lies and their patched products.

I'm afraid it's incidents like this that are going to limit my sharing of source in future, as I didn't really consider that that would happen. But it isn't a closed forum and there's nothing to stop an outsider from grabbing a pirated version of the PB compiler, running it on source they find on the boards and calling themselves a software publisher. 'Course if I've marked a sourcecode "Credit appreciated but not required," which I sometimes do, I don't really care what gets done with it.

When any of us release some code we are allowing the use of this.
If there are any code that we don't want to be used, then we don't have to make it public.

------

BTW, what this guy is asking is not a solution thah should or could be done by PB, but using PHP or AJAX (per example).

I develope some AJAX tv player in past weeks that does exactly what this guy is asking for, i use my own AJAX code that i use 2 years ago to develope a site that shows music video clips.

actually, ricardo, he says he got the pb code and wants a window added

Yes i know. But i guess he don't fully understand how to accomplish this.

The real solution for what he wants should be coded in PHP, Ajax, Perl, etc. At least is the logical and more efficient solution.

"connecting to satellite" lmao! So in other words, he wants an addition which lies to the user..

Ps: I notice alot of code is stolen from the PB forum and codearchive and released as dlls for gamemaker without credit (cough roach cough).. very sad that people do this crap, makes me wonder about releasing source in the future as well.

@joakim, I would take your code down. It's not worth doing all of the work to make someone else money. This guy making this post obviously wants to sell your work, and I bet he wont be the last one either.

He's hoping a bit. Looks like an extremely dodgy operation.
