Hi there,
I am new to this list and I want to use freevo mainly as a DVD player.
I am faced with the following problem:
Movies (avi-files) stored on data-DVDs or data-CDs are not recognized by freevo!
I was unable to figure out any configuration stuff to make this feature work
and
at this time I think that freevo is impossible to handle data CDs/DVDs with
movies.
This is very poor because I want to use freevo only for gaming and watching
DVDs/CDs.
But I hope that it's only a problem with the kaa library. I have installed
freevo from
source using version 1.7.4 and kaa-base-0.1.3, kaa-imlib2-0.2.1, and
kaa-metadata-0.6.1.
Using the "VIDEO" item in freevo's main menue with a data disc inserted results
in the
following console error messages:
---8<---
util:match_files(): Got error on dir = ""
Exception in thread Thread-2:
Traceback (most recent call last):

It seems that the MIME type is not recognized because a 'mminfo -d2 /dev/dvd'
yields (the example is a CD with the 'Master and Commader' movie):
kaa media metadata info
setting to log level 2
DEBUG factory(292): Trying audio/cd
DEBUG factory(292): Trying video/dvd
DEBUG factory(292): Trying video/vcd
DEBUG factory(292): Trying cd/unknown
/dev/dvd
| type: CD
| subtype: data
| media: MEDIA_DISC
| mime: unknown/unknown
| id: 2004071114392700MASTER_AND_COMMA
| label: MASTER_AND_COMMA
If I mount the disc by hand the contents is listed and the movie can be played
directly using xine or mplayer.
I can not believe freevo does not recognize movies on data discs. Does anyone
has
made similar experiences???
I know that a solution would maybe be the creation of a fxd-file. However,
creating
such a file for each new data disc would be very inconvenient for me and
impossible
for other family member such as my wife!
Does anyone have some suggestions how I can fix this problem?
Regards
Axel
