This is more a mplayer change than a freevo one, did you also upgrade
mplayer?
No. I have been using mplayer 1.0_rc2_p25993 since February 19.
The first thing to try is can you use mencoder to record from the TV
using the command line that is used by freevo. To find out the command
line set in local_conf.py:
DEBUG=1
DEBUG_CHILDAPP=1
Then look through the recordserver log to find the command lines and try
I already had the two DEBUG variables set to '1', so I grepped for mencoder
and didn't find 'mencoder' anywhere in /var/log/freevo, where all of my freevo
logs go. (I also temporarily moved local_conf.py to ensure freevo was using
the proper local_conf.py: it is.)
So I don't know what mencoder command freevo wants to use.
It would help if you posted you TV_* variables from local_conf.py, say
Here are the TV_* except for TV_CHANNELS
TV_RECORD_DIR = "/sda4/freevo/tvRecorde/"
TV_RECORD_DUPLICATE_DETECTION = True
TV_SETTINGS = 'ntsc television us-bcast /dev/video0'
TV_DATE_FORMAT = '%b-%e'
TV_RECORD_PADDING_POST = 1 * 60
TV_VIDEO_GROUPS[0].group_type='dvb'
what type of TV card you have.
pcHDTV HD-5500
from lspci:
02:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio
Decoder (rev 05)
02:0a.1 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio
Decoder [Audio Port] (rev 05)
02:0a.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio
Decoder [MPEG Port] (rev 05)
02:0a.4 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio
Decoder [IR Port] (rev 05)
Did you run "freevo convert_config ..."?
I just ran it on my current local_conf.py: There were no lines returned.
So for some reason I can't see what mencoder command freevo is trying to use.
I also am not getting and DEBUG lines in my log file, I am only getting INFO
lines.
Because Freevo works well for live TV, it is frustrating not to be able to
record.
Thanks for any help.

ps
Here is an entire recordserver log: (note: no DEBUG lines)
