[Freevo-users] Transcoding?

2004-03-15 Thread Chad Robinson
Is there any way Freevo's recordserver could be configured to automatically 
call a transcoding script when a recording is done? I used to do this at the 
end of recordings when I used the scripted method, but can't figure out how to 
do the same thing using the IVTV module.

Regards,
Chad

Can't you just map an event to send a key press?  Should be in the wiki
on configuring your remote..

I still don't understand why but setting SDL_NOMOUSE=1 in the init

2004-03-15 Thread Victor Putz
Fixed my own problem; replying to my message in case anyone has similar 
issues and searches archives.

Problem stemmed from switching from OSS emu10k drivers to OSS i810 
on-board audio.  Installing ALSA and the ALSA i810 driver seems to have 
solved the problem.

[Freevo-users] Change inputs with tvtime

2004-03-15 Thread Ricky Schneberger
Title: Meddelande



I have problem 
changing inputmode when watching TV in Freevo. I´m using TVtime as tv-app. It 
seems that tvtimes keyboardmappings is overrided by freevo, preventing me 
changing from the internal tuner to external sources.
 
 
Someone who can help 
me?

2004-03-15 Thread Peter Svensson
This have been a big problem for me as well. My goal was to be able to use
the remote for MAME games, and at the very least to end MAME and psx games.

It's kind of odd because I use the Sapphire RF remote which emulates
keypresses under X, and _ought_ to be able to pass keys to MAME and epsxe.

Wait, I think I remember it - they're hardwired for hardware keyboard or
some such.  Please someone else comment on this since my advanced age seems
to have left me somewhat fuzzy :)

Hello

I added pcsx (playstation emulator) in the game section of freevo. It
runs correctly but when I try to stop it (with the remote or the
keyboard) freevo don't successfully stop it. It tries to kill it but
pcsx doesn't want to.

Is there a way to make freevo send a keypress event (escape) ?

in current cvs it works by selecting something in the tv guide and then 
choose not "record" but "add to favs"

to review your favs and edit them you need to load "tv.view_favorites" 
as a plugin

dont know about 141

RE: [Freevo-users] freevo and kernel 2.6.3

2004-03-15 Thread Andrew Dumaresq
Probably you are missing the following kernel option:

Device Drivers->
Char Devices->
Enhanced Real Time Clock Support

I know a lot of distributions (Debian for example) get very upset if you
don't build that into the kernel (or as a module).

Thanks

Subject: [Freevo-users] freevo and kernel 2.6.3

Hi All

I have been pulling my hair since attempting to upgrade my
kernel to 2.6 from 2.4. I'm running freevo 1.4.1 and went
out and bought a pixelview play tv pro card with conexant
cx2388xx chip - hence my desire to upgrade as the 2.4
kernel did not have driver, etc.

Now to the crux, when I attempt to start freevo in fb mode,
i get an error saying that freevo cannot get a handle on an
rtc key (i dont have the exact error as the offending
machine is at home). tvtime also would run giving an error
saying that the is no real time clock driver.

I have looked at the config for the kernel numerous times
and still find nothing to do with the rtc, does anyone have
an idea?

Cheers

RE: [Freevo-users] tv-out issues.

2004-03-15 Thread Andrew Dumaresq
This may go through twice as I sent the last one from the wrong account.



The TV is actually a 32" Sony Trinitron from about 1999.  I am hoping to
replace it in the future with a widescreen something or other (maybe a
projector).  My reason for believing it is not the TV, is that I have
another smaller TV, piece of junk Daewoo about 19", and it does exactly the
same thing.  Luckily when I replace the TV I will be using DVI out so things
will get much easier.

Thanks

Andrew

I have almost the exact same tv as yours.  (looks the same) mines a
KVJ29 something..  I'm not sitting near it to test.  I get something
*VERY* similar, only not as profound.  Your talking about the left hand
side of the picture being closer at the bottom than at the top?

Mine does this but its inly about 3 or 4 pixels different.  I really
think this is the TV thats doing it to you, not the PC.  How old is the
TV?  One option is to call your local TV repair shop and ask them for
the spec sheets for you model..  you need to alter the 'trapeziod'
setting and its normaly a variable resister..

However, its alot of work for something only YOU are going to notice..

Maybe this would be easier achieveable in Alsa. I have for instance 6
channel sound card, I just set duplicate tick in gnome-alsamixer and voila -
same sound goes to two separated outputs on sound card. Similar could be
done with 2 cards, but since I'm alsa newbie, you better ask this on alsa
mailing list...

Maybe also ecasound or some similar software mixing program could help
you...

I have one too, and it is working also (the antenna network in my
building has at last been updated last week). One problem is my version
of mplayer which is unhappy when playing straight from the DVB card
(saving into a file and playing from the file works fine though, and it
allows to pause the TV :) The other is integrating that into Freevo. Rob
Shortt had a project like this, but I have no idea how far it has gone
now. If I find the time, I'll work on thins problem (I wnat to have
something working, but I don't know when I'll have time to work on it).

Rob, if you are still interested in integrating DVB to freevo, we
probably can start discussing it.

I have almost the exact same tv as yours.  (looks the same) mines a
KVJ29 something..  I'm not sitting near it to test.  I get something
*VERY* similar, only not as profound.  Your talking about the left hand
side of the picture being closer at the bottom than at the top?

Mine does this but its inly about 3 or 4 pixels different.  I really
think this is the TV thats doing it to you, not the PC.  How old is the
TV?  One option is to call your local TV repair shop and ask them for
the spec sheets for you model..  you need to alter the 'trapeziod'
setting and its normaly a variable resister..

However, its alot of work for something only YOU are going to notice..
