[Freevo-users] Problem with Freevo Config (should be easy for experienced users)
I was perusing the freevo site and I was delighted to read that I could simply type: cvs update in the freevo directory and upgrade painlessly (so it would seem). At any rate, I typed that command, and when I ran freevo again, the only thing that shows is: TV Shows (or something like that, I'm not in front of it right now) How can I get all the other stuff back? I looked through the local-conf.py file, and didn't see anything obvious. I didn't really screw it up did I?? please advise... Gary

I hoped that was a problem with my VCD (I have only one, and that is
full of images, no video). The problem was that I tried to read 6 MB
from the device, but you can't read that much from a VCD. Please try
the new version in this mail please. There should be no messages in
/var/log/messages about I/O errors anymore and every disc should be

Re: [Freevo-users] remote command
Marius, That cd is what I needed. Now freevo starts when i hit button on remote. This might be handy too if i have lockup playing movie or music.

y, i looked at that. here is what i have so far. Now if i hit yellow button radio pragram comes up. Radio progam is located in /usr/bin, so normally i can tyope radio anytime for program to come up. I would like to do this with freevo but don't know how. Also i tried putting in button to tune through radio channels which is up/down on keyboard. --could't get this working either. Maybe someone else could work on this too. skeeter p.s. sorry for lossy typing but other hand is broke right now :( begin button = Yellow prog = irexec config = radio end begin button = ChUp prog = radio config = UP end begin button = Blue prog = irexec config = freevo end --- Marius Schäfer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I want to see if there is way to start freevo with > > remote button after freevo is closed.

[Freevo-users] IMPORTANT: new disc checker, please all help testing
Hi,
I want to find out if a disc is a DVD/VCD/SVCD or not _without_
mounting the disc. I wrote a small program to test it. It's attached
to the mail. Please test it with some DVD/VCD/SVCD of you. Also try
Audio CDs, no CDs and normal CDs, too.
Just start the script with the device as parameter, e.g.
./check_disc /dev/dvd
If I have 100% the correct results I will integrate this into mmpython
which will be our media detector in the future. Please don't only
report failures, also positive results. Send reports to me
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) to avoid a flood of mails on this list.
Please also report how long it takes to get the results if it is
longer than 5 seconds after the drive has read the disc. If it takes
longer, please look into /var/log/messages if there are reading
problems reported from the kernel.

Re: [Freevo-users] compiling sdl for freevo
I don't use it myself, but I think the main two are: o SDL-1.2.4-patch1 - Allows SDL to work without a keyboard if the SDL_NOKEYBOARD environment variable is set o SDL_ttf2-patch2 - Fixes crashes for truetype font problems. This is superceded by recent snapshots of pygame which fix the problem there. So you probably don't need them unless you don't have a keyboard. All I did was grab one of those old USB->PS2 keyboard attachments and plug it in the back of my PC (with no keyboard attached) and SDL thought it had a keyboard so no patching was necessary.

Hi everyone, great progress on Freevo! I finally got remote working today. I had been mistakenly naming lircrc file as .lircrc instead of without period. I noticed that ut looks like files can be deleted now in freevo. I haven't tried it yet and want to know if files should have special permissions in order to have them deleted. Also, I noticed that I have music lockups when playing music quite often. I then have to either reboot or remotely kill processes.

[Freevo-users] a little directfb success report (g400)
hi, i went through the trouble and made the dfbmga mode work in freevo and mplayer yesterday on my g400 and thought that it might be worth to share my results with you. first of all, it really involves a *lot* of work as it involves compiling a patched kernel and recompiling mplayer with a patch. it is definately nothing for linux newbies. categorizing myself as relatively experienced on unix, i needed almost half a day to make it work properly (although i spend most of the time debugging a really really stupid mistake). why did i even bother? ever since i used the g400 tv-out on linux i had diagonal (rgb) lines going through the picture which basically brightend up the picture where these lines were (using mga_vid). i almost got used to it, but it's definately is annoying. the good news is: using dfbmga, these lines are gone and i would even go on and say that the picture quality is more sharp than with mga_vid. others don't experience this enhancement though (thanks to rshortt for helping me a little). then, using the old mga_vid method, i sometimes experienced framebuffer lockups when i had to quit freevo using kill (sometimes my remote control just doesn't react anymore. i haven't found the source of this problem yet). i had to restart the computer when i had this. these lockups are gone too. however, one thing i couldn't correct yet is that my self-compiled mplayer would somewhow fall into an endless loop when trying to play ogm files. i guess i'll just have to compile it one more time and check everything more carefully or so... so if you are having trouble with mga_vid, i'd definately recommend giving directfb a shot. you just need to be aware that you may need time to make it work. -- Benjamin Zeiss --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.

OK, it's in CVS. Activate the plugin with
plugin.activate('video.imdb'). It should work for all video files, not
for DVD and for files on rom drives. You can also set the imdb search
on an extra button (hello new event system), see the notes in
src/video/plugins/imdb.py how.
