Hi,
Sorry to hijack the thread, but what are you using for the karaoke, and do you
have any pointers on setting it up?

Yes, using an IRBlaster and the cable company box has allowed me to
continue using my Freevo system for recording TV programs. However,
this kludge is not 100% reliable. Sometimes, one of the digits is
missed (e.g., 189 becomes 18 or 89) and, although recording starts at
the correct time, the wrong channel's program is recorded. Other
times, it seems LIRC isn't working correctly and no new channel is
tuned via the IRBlaster, so the recording starts at the right time,
but for the previously tuned (default) channel so, again, the wrong
program is recorded. In the latter situation, I have to reboot my
system so LIRC can load correctly. I don't know if the problem is
with LIRC, the script, the IRBlaster, or the cable box. Probably each
of those at some time or another. That's why I was hoping to
eliminate all these variables by getting a new card with clear QAM
support so the TV card itself can tune to the correct station without
dependency on other devices and software. Unfortunately, my cable
company's decision to remove most of the channels on their line-up
from clear QAM has thwarted my plans.
My rough guess is that it's 95%+ reliable, but it's very frustrating
when there's a special program I want (worse yet, a program that my
wife really wants) and it's the very one that records incorrectly.
Life was much simpler before the cable company switched to digital
signals and you could have your TV or TV card tune to the correct
channel without being forced to use their box.

You could try following the instruction I posted on the wik... dang... I
take that back, I haven't had any time to post on the wiki. :-\ Maybe
next time I'm sick, I'll sit in front of the computer & type.
I have terrible times with Ubuntu, every other time I reboot I have to
service lirc restart and then service freevo_xserver restart just to get
it to work. That's in addition to a bug that prevented lirc from
working right in the first place. Probably should have done Debian.
And heaven help you if you use tv.ivtv_xine_tv - xine is always crashing!
I modified irsend_generic.py; with simple modifications, it works pretty
well. Better than my Tivo did. My post was "Ubuntu Lirc Bug / Dish
Network how to" if you want to mess around with adding a delay between
digits, you may find that helpful.

Is it possible to run fxd command files from within the standard menu
structure? I have quite a few running from the main menu now (internet,
karaoke, the cheese photo application) and I wanted to clean it up by
inserting some within the menu items (ie: karaoke within music, the cheese
app within photos), there's not a whole lot of documentation on fxd files
and I've been fiddling with them for a while with no success, is this
possible at all?
Cheers,
Paul

What happens if you just put your karaoke.fxd in a music folder?
It works with playlists. Perhaps all fxd will work too.

No, it doesn't show up, I've fiddled with it a lot but haven't had any
success.

Afaik it's not possible to put commands into an existing menu but to
avoid the clutter in the main menu you can put the commands/fxd-files
into a submenu:
http://doc.freevo.org/GeneralPlugins/Commands
http://doc.freevo.org/CommandsFxd
Bye,
Manne

Yes!.
I've added a Spotify entry within the Music main menu. First I've written
this fxd file:
spotify.fxd:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<freevo>
<command title="Spotify">
<cmd>wine "C:\Archivos de programa\Spotify\spotify.exe"</cmd>
<stoposd />
</command>
</freevo>
And then, I've added the fxd file to the AUDIO_ITEMS section in
local_conf.py:
AUDIO_ITEMS = [
('Infantil', '/datos/musica/infantil'),
('Pop', '/datos/musica/pop'),
('Otras', '/datos/musica/otras'),
'/opt/config/freevo/fxd/spotify.fxd',
]
I also have a Picasa entry in the Photo menu, though, instead of adding the
fxd file to the IMAGES section in local_conf.py, I've included it in my
image directory:
picasa.fxd:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<freevo>
<command title="Editar fotos en Picasa">
<cmd>/opt/config/freevo/fxd/picasa.cmd</cmd>
<nostdout />
</command>
</freevo>
picasa.cmd:
#!/bin/sh
picasa &
true
local_conf.py:
IMAGE_ITEMS = [ ('Ver Fotos', '/datos/Escritorio/fotos'),
# '/opt/config/freevo/fxd/picasa.fxd',
]
In /datos/Escritorio/fotos I have a directory named "fotos" and the fxd file
picasa.fxd. As you can see, I previously added the fxd file directly to the
IMAGE_ITEMS section, though now I've commented out the entry. Nevertheless,
both approachs work flawlessly for me.
