Evan, thank you very much for your help and advice and my apologies
for my delay in replying, summer holidays and a thirteen year old son
to entertain = no computer access for me - he's trying to get to
level 40 in World of Warcraft!
I managed to stop the crashing by using a blanked out config and then
just tentatively re-applying various elements. I really only want
FLAC replay to work at present although the rest would be nice as I
do have a spare Elgato USB TV card... So it would appear to work on
the Mac PPC - hurrah, I still have a few niggles however.
1. Still getting errors on start up...
a. Couldn't open mixer /dev/mixer
plugin mixer deactivated, reason: unknown
Even though all references appear to be disabled?
b. Error: VIDEO_SHOW_DATA_DIR not found
I don't think anything for this is enabled?
c. WARNING: PyLirc not found, lirc remote control disabled!
I guess this is fine, although I would like to get the remote
working at some point.
2. Problems in use.
a. Menu seems not to have a proper highlight - the background image
seems to corrupt to the right of the menu selection - so you can sill
navigate ... just.
b. No album images. I've amended the config to look for my album
covers - Folder.jpg files but am getting
"error caching image /Users/Shared/Music/Alison Krauss/A Hundred
Miles Or More~A Collection/Folder.jpg
caching image: no loader for file format
error caching image /Users/Shared/Music/Alison Krauss/A Hundred Miles
Or More~A Collection/Folder.jpg
caching image: no loader for file format
Problem while loading image "thumb:///Users/Shared/Music/Alison
Krauss/A Hundred Miles Or More~A Collection/Folder.jpg"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/
python2.5/site-packages/freevo/osd.py", line 652, in loadbitmap
image = pygame.image.fromstring(data[0], data[1], data[2])
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is unsubscriptable.... "
In particular the thumb bit seems to be wrong - "thumb:///Users/
Sh..." I only have one iage for album covers.
c. Only some FLAC files seem to play. I think this is mPlayer as
when i tried to play it with my desktop mPlayer I had the same
problems. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Would it be possible to
use VLC? Everything else I have plays these FLAC files fine. I will
try and contact the mPlayer people with the errors. I can post here
if required.
d. When shut down from the menu - it still leaves Python running -
which I can shut with a CTRL C in a terminal - or shut the
transparent python in my dock. Is this how it is supposed to work?
Many thanks,
Russ
