Hi, I definitely may have some contributions along: - basic timeshifting via "xine pvr://" (but anyway the pvr option for xine is a hack, so the freevo result is all the more hackish) - active audio playlist
anyway, I checked the freevo 2.0 wiki and the previous messages, and two places for a contribution come to mind: - kaa.record for ivtv cards. Is this done yet or not? - compilation of doc on API 2.0 for wiki. Actually, I have being lurking the mailing lists for quite a time now, and it is very difficult to follows what's really happening: there are two many ideas floating around. Just forward me to one of the kaa modules to start with. regards, JM John Molohan wrote: > Jason Tackaberry wrote: >> On Sun, 2006-07-16 at 20:24 -0700, Michael Beal wrote: >> >>> Hello all! >>> >> Hi Michael!
