More to the point, the mp1e has problems encoding from v4l2 devices. just as rtrec and ffmpeg amogst others. only mencoder and transcode can do this properly to my experience. With mencoder however its possible to output mpg (MPEG1) format files instead of avi using the -of option, so you might have luck using mencoder for the system.

Check you logs for the mp1e command that freevo attempts to run. Copy and paste this onto the command line and see if you get any errors there. Try turning on debugging to see if there are any clues there.

Hi.
I'm finishing the install of my freevo. I'm using 1.5.3. I was wondering about pausing tv (shift tv?). Is it possible to do it? Here's a piece of my local.conf.py:
--------------------
TV_RECORD_DIR = '/mnt/video'
TV_SETTINGS = 'pal television europe-west /dev/video0'
TV_DRIVER = 'v4l2'
TV_DEVICE = '/dev/video0'
TV_INPUT = 0
FREEVO_CACHEDIR= '/home/mythtv/.freevo'
TIMESHIFT_BUFFER_SIZE = 500
TIMESHIFT_ENCODE_CMD = 'mp1e -m3 -c%s -p%s -r14,100' %(TV_SETTINGS.split(
[3],AUDIO_INPUT_DEVICE) TIMESHIFT_BUFFER = '/mnt/video/buffer.mpeg' TV_CHANNEL_PROG = './chchan %(channel)s %(norm)s %(freqtable)s'
TV_DATEFORMAT = '%e-%b' # Day-Month: 11-Jun TV_TIMEFORMAT = '%H:%M' # Hour-Minute 14:05 TV_DATETIMEFORMAT = '%A %b %d %I:%M %p' # Thursday September 24 8:54 am -----------------------------------------
I use mplayer for tv, as tvtime doesn't work for me. It works as a stand-alone application, but not as a plugin. It just says 'no signal', and I get a blue screen with the name and number of the channels. Well, I press space bar and the image stops. Press again, and it goes on. But it jumps to real time tv again. While stopped, I try to find the buffer file, but I can't find it. I have mp1e installed, but perhaps it isn't well configured. Well, that's all I can say. I'd like very much to make this work and not having to use mythtv, as I think freevor is simpler to use and smoother to run.
Thanks
Alberto
