first did you perform these steps found on... http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/FrequentlyAskedQuestions
as in specifically.... 30 Why is that my scheduled recordings never actually record? One error that prevents scheduled recordings from actually recording is as follows, check for this in the logfiles in /var/log/freevo/ <- NOTE: dont bother, add the fix anyways if it doesn't record. the errors sometimes never show up. sh: relocation error: ./runtime/dll/libc.so.6: symbol _dl_debug_files, version GLIBC_2.2 not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference The fix for this error is adding the following inside of src/tv/record_daemon.py. Add the following line after "import os". import os os.environ['LD_PRELOAD'] = '' # Add this line to stop GLIBC_2.X preload errors -----Original Message----- From: Tim Walter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 13, 2003 10:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Freevo-users] Newbie update, and some more questions! Some may remember my recent posting about problems with getting MPlayer working. For info eventually tracked it down to an old ISA Soundblaster card I was using. Replacing that with a PCI version did the trick and sound is now OK, and MPlayer plays... I now have Freevo playing TV, and DVDs too pretty reliably to date, thanks (MPlayer .92 and freevo 1.3.4) However I am struggling now with recording... I have mencoder installed and think I need to run a cron job to trigger every minute in case of a scheduled recording coming up. I have put this line in /etc/crontab file *****/usr/local/freevo/freevo execute src/tv/record_daemon.py as per the Documentation page but when I look in the log files there is no activity showing. Can anyone confirm I am doing this right (and any suggestions as it seems to be right according to the crontab docs that I have seen. Thanks Finally I have a Radeon 9200 TV out card (from Gigabyte) AFAICT I have a choice Stick with the generic driver, though not sure if this does TV out Use ati.2 but this AFAICT doesn't explicitly support the 9200 and when I tried installing it before (previous installation of RH9) it didn't seem to recognise update etc driver (or do anything for that matter!) Use ATI provided linux driver. This seemed to work though not sure if this is right way to go. Any guidance before I jump?
