Thanks, I now have weather, news, webradio working fine, I don’t have a '/var/cache/freevo/logos' directory my channels configured correctly first.
Also using the line input I only have a green screen with some noise at the top, I have my cable box plugged into it now. But no signal is coming through. Any ideas of a testing procedure, maybe get a tv tuner open in X or something, (I've never really used TV cards in linux so some pointers would be great) How about executing an external script for changing channel too? What I need IDEALY is to send a command like changechannel <channel number> or <channel id/name> Thanks in advance Karl, -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fons van der Beek Sent: 05 October 2004 23:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] FreeVo configuration help in case your are going to update to fedora core 2 please do that first...................is saves you asking questions twice Let's make a start in answering your questions 1) Don't know...........if i recall correctly there is a plugin for selecting the composite in "tv.view_line_in" add in /etc/local_conf.py plugin.activate('tv.view_line_in') anyone more on that ????????????? 2) use <exit> or <esc> key check your lircrc in /etc/freevo there should be a mapping from your remote button to "config = EXIT " 3) Check your audio items in /etc/local_conf.py AUDIO_ITEMS = [('Webradio','fxd/webradio.fxd'), ('Internet Radio','/datastore/InternetRadio') ] add above settings local_conf.py modify "/datastore/InternetRadio" into a directory of your own choice. put the extracted files from "shoutcast-streams.tar.bz2" file downloaded from http://freevo.sourceforge.net/addons/index.php?direction=0&order=&direct ory=Plugins into that directory Internet Radio should work for "some" (not all) stations, but wait a while for each station........it takes some time before the connection is made locate webradio it should be "beneath" your main freevo installation e.g. /usr/share/freevo/fxd/webradio.fxd whre freevo is the "main" installation base 4) check /etc/local_conf.py for: TV_LOGOS = '/var/cache/freevo/logos' check this dir for the existence of the logos remove /var/cache/freevo/TV.xml.pickled run freevo makelogos again remove /var/cache/freevo/TV.xml.pickled (this is one step to many, but it should work) in my case there are all png files This is my content of /var/cache/freevo/logos 10.tvgids.nl.png 1.tvgids.nl.png 32.tvgids.nl.png 4.tvgids.nl.png 11.tvgids.nl.png 20.tvgids.nl.png 34.tvgids.nl.png 5.tvgids.nl.png 12.tvgids.nl.png 21.tvgids.nl.png 35.tvgids.nl.png 6.tvgids.nl.png 13.tvgids.nl.png 24.tvgids.nl.png 36.tvgids.nl.png 7.tvgids.nl.png 14.tvgids.nl.png 25.tvgids.nl.png 37.tvgids.nl.png 86.tvgids.nl.png 15.tvgids.nl.png 26.tvgids.nl.png 39.tvgids.nl.png 87.tvgids.nl.png 16.tvgids.nl.png 27.tvgids.nl.png 3.tvgids.nl.png 89.tvgids.nl.png 17.tvgids.nl.png 29.tvgids.nl.png 40.tvgids.nl.png 8.tvgids.nl.png 18.tvgids.nl.png 2.tvgids.nl.png 46.tvgids.nl.png 90.tvgids.nl.png 19.tvgids.nl.png 31.tvgids.nl.png 49.tvgids.nl.png 9.tvgids.nl.png 5) add the following lines in your /etc/local_conf.py plugin.activate('headlines', level=45) HEADLINES_LOCATIONS = [ ("Algemeen nieuws","http://nu.nl/deeplink_rss2/index.jsp?r=Algemeen";), ("Economie","http://nu.nl/deeplink_rss2/index.jsp?r=Economie "), ("Internet","http://nu.nl/deeplink_rss2/index.jsp?r=Internet";), ("Sport","http://nu.nl/deeplink_rss2/index.jsp?r=Sport";), ("Achterklap","http://nu.nl/deeplink_rss2/index.jsp?r=Achterklap";), ("Yoshe Polak","http://nu.nl/deeplink_rss2/index.jsp?r=Yoshe";)] these are mine, i guess, you have custom one's but these work 6) personaly i have all channels configured by hand and with a manual frequency FREQUENCY_TABLE = { 'ned1':216000, 'ned2':184000, 'ned3':192000, 'rtl4':224000, 'rtl5':232000, 'sbs6':280000} TV_CHANNELS = [ ('1.tvgids.nl', 'Ned 1','ned1'), ('2.tvgids.nl', 'Ned 2', 'ned2'), ('3.tvgids.nl', 'Ned 3', 'ned3'), ('4.tvgids.nl', 'RTL 4', 'rtl4'), ('31.tvgids.nl', 'RTL 5', 'rtl5'), ('36.tvgids.nl', 'SBS 6', 'sbs6')] but if i recall correctly, i modified all channels in the mplayer source, because in holland there is a different channel layout as defined in the standard frequencies. But in your case because you use the composite in, this doesn't matter.............. ----- Original Message ----- From: Karl Lattimer To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2004 11:16 PM Subject: [Freevo-users] FreeVo configuration help Hi, I’m just configuring freevo up to do all of my PVR needs. I want to be able to do a number of things 1) Have the TV Input set to Composite all the time, and have LIRC issue commands to my cable box to change channel. (I realise I will have to script this, not a problem ;) 2) Exit from the weather module (I tried SELECT, MENU, DISPLAY, etc… nothing works) 3) Use web radio, this doesn’t seem to work at all 4) Get logo’s for all of my channels. Freevo makelogos errors with the original distribution version, and completes successfully with the CVS version, still no logo’s. 5) Get News reports for my RSS feed news sites/comic strips i.e. dilbert/user friendly etc… 6) Set my channel list up so I have all of the channels provided on my cable only, in the tv guide. I am running freevo 1.5rc3 on redhat9 I am going to be upgrading soon, if you could advise me on what is known not to work in this configuration then please let me know.
