Hi,
Hi,
I'm trying to set freevo with a pvr350 card using the IVTV record plugin.
DEBUG=1 is set in the local_config. I'm using the freevo and mmpython cvs version on gentoo. python 2.3.3
This is the first error I get when using the ivtv record plugin :

in v4l2.py there are some print statements and I get a Unidecode error when setting these ptint statements in comment I can go on.
I am using a PVR-250 and started having the same problem a while ago after updating my driver. Which version of ivtv are you using? I tried messing around with Unicode and String objects but nothing really worked for me. I was beginning to think that the driver is returning bad data or the interface has changed. I ultimately ended up commenting those prints out (Driver, Card, Version).
The second problem is NTSC <=> PAL.
I am a pal user, ivtv driver is installed correctly I can capture
without problems when I do cat /dev/video1 > somefile.mpg The result is
a 720x576 mpeg file with sound.
My pvr350 card is /dev/video1, /dev/video0 is a from the dvb card that isn't configured in freevo at the moment.
When capturing with freevo I get a 720x480 mpeg file. This are some lines from my local_config file
---------------------------------------------------------- TV_REC_SIZE = (720, 576)
Hmm, I think TV_REC_SIZE may be ignored by the ivtv code.
IVTV_OPTIONS = {...
'resolution' : '720x576',...
}
...
2004/07/06 18:35 CEST [*RecordServer*] Width: 720, Height: 480 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
So the video standard is correct but the resolution is incorrect. AM I missing something ?
I don't think you're missing anything. Maybe the setCodec interface hace changed slightly, the explicit set to '720x576' fails and it defaults back to NTSC resolution? I should have a chance to take a closer look a bit later.
