I have problem with xine tv plugins.
I've been browsing mailing-list for some time to find some workaround -
but without success, so I ask for help.
I use Freevo 1.8.1 - deb package from Ubuntu 9.04
First of all I noticed, that parameters:
config.XINE_TV_VO_DEV and config.XINE_TV_AO_DEV
are not passed to ivtv_xine_tv.py plugin correctly (inside plugin they
got 'None' value). That makes blank screen with no sound. I made
workaround by assigning values directly inside ivtv_xine_tv.py just
before 'xine pvr:/...' is called.
After that I am able to run tv-guide and then watch tv with seeking
backward/forward and pausing on the fly (200MB cache files are stored
properly to HDD).
Unfortunately I am unable to change channels and start live record.
While I am pressing the CH+/CH- buttons I get OSD message with name of
new channel together with name of new TV program, but this doesn't
affect to the displayed channel which remains the same all the time.
While I am pressing the [REC] button I get OSD message that recording
has just started, but related record-file doesn't appear.
ivtv_xine_tv.py plugin contains information about xine requirements:
- xine media player (built with xvmc / xxmc if available)
version xine-lib: >= 1.1.9
version xine-ui: >= 0.99.6
Those requirements are not exactly met (packages from Ubuntu 9.04 distro):
xine-ui: 0.99.5+cvs20070914-2.1~lenny2ubuntu1
xine-lib: 1.1.16.3-0ubuntu1
As you can see my xine-ui version is lower than 0.99.6 - but I couldn't
find source of exactly 0.99.6 to compile it.
As it comes to xine built with xvmc/xxmc - it seems to me that xine is
compiled with those modes, bacause I can play movies from command line:
xine -V xv movie.file or xine -V xxmc movie.file
All needed configuration details (I hope) are shown below:
System: Ubuntu 9.04 (command line system)
Window manager: ratpoison
Freevo: 1.8.1-3ubuntu3
Xine-ui: 0.99.5+cvs20070914-2.1~lenny2ubuntu1
