Do you have either xine or mplayer installed? You need at least one of them in your system in order to playback DVDs. If it's installed, then check the log files in /var/log/freevo to see what command it used, and if that command works if you ran xine/mplayer from the command line. > > Should I be able to get the DVD Menu like I get when I insert it into a > "standalone" dvd-player?

[Freevo-users] Playing a DVD
I'm new to freevo and from seeing the questions going on this list, mine is probably a dumb question but here it goes anyway. Am I supposed to be able to play DVDs using Freevo? In the movie menu, if I select my DVD-Rom, I get the Video_ts and audio_ts directories, but any file I select blanks the screen for a second and comes back to the menu. Should I be able to get the DVD Menu like I get when I insert it into a "standalone" dvd-player? If not, should I be able to play the movie without trying the 20 different video files to find the right one? It seems like all my daughter's movies (Cinderella, Snow White, etc) have 10-15 previews before the movie! --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
i mentioned that long ago iirc, but devs were busy pushing development
for 1.5 wich is ok so: get 1.5pre... :P
or try this:
find the line in ivtv_basic_tv.py where the args array is assembled...
and add config.MPLAYER_ARGS_DEV too the existing list of config
variables that get added...
another way would be to remove a %s from line 176 but i dont know which
one :) (though guess the 2nd one)
good luck
flo
ps: better get 1.5pre for testing and giving feedback, that would help
development!

You have two options: use snd-bt87x (which is the alsa equivalent of
btaudio) or use the line-in.
mencoder doesn't support btaudio (yet?) and the same problems arise with
snd-bt87x, but it should work with mp1e with the patch from the wiki.
Access the snd-bt87x mixer through alsamixer -c 1 or alsamixer -D bt87x
For analog loopback cable recording add option 'alsa' to -tv options
list, and take as adevice your soundcard (emu10k1 in my case)
adevice=/dev/adsp did NOT work for me (records only silence).
I have the following /etc/asound.conf:
pcm.emu10k1 { type hw card 0}
ctl.emu10k1 { type hw card 0}
pcm.bt87x { type hw card 1}
ctl.bt87x { type hw card 1}
Recording from line-in with the sound MUTED works, so I can use
mplayer/mencoder for timeshift recording (of course, seeking doesn't
work then).
Hope this is of any help for someone.

But, if I playback a 6 channels audio-file (i.e. within a DVD), then only 2

I don't know if it is possible for different audio files, but you can
use different settings for audio files, DVD's , avi's, ... I'd suggest
you use your -af channels line for default, cd, rm,vcd and rmvb, and use
-channels 6 for all other types that may contain 6 channel audio (esp.
dvd, avi)

[Freevo-users] Problem with webserver on 1.5-pre1
Hi all
At the weekend I upgraded my freevo setup to 1.5-pre1. It is a Gentoo
system and I just modified the old ebuild to get 1.5-pre1 instead of
1.4.1. Everything works fine (well except for a few funnies because I
haven't got around to installing mmpython 0.4 yet) apart from the
webserver. If I go to the web address I get the following error:
