Jim Duda wrote: I upgraded to version 1.5. All seems to work great, as usual. I have one problem. I seem to have lost the Icons which display next to the titles in the menu. I really like the icons. I seem to recall I had the same problem when I was playing with the CVS version. I ended up adding some lines to an XML file, lines such as image=gant/movie.png. I'm sure I can figure out where to do that again, however, I'd really like to know what the preferred method is. Should I still expect the Icons? I was using the blue_round1 skin in version 1.4.1. Can I carry that skin forward to 1.5 ? There are no icons in the main menu left to the names of the items. There were never such icons. There is an external skin with that feature.

[Freevo-users] Tearing when viewing or recording with mplayer/mencoder
One problem which I didn't really notice until I switched from using XV on my onboard nforce IGP to MGAFB on my G450 is that I'm getting some rather extreme tearing during horizontal pans both when watching live TV and when recording. It doesn't appear all the time, but does seem to be more prominent when watching some channels. I suspect that this is really the interlacing of the original signal, but it doesn't show up as expected - at an estimate I'd say there are about 8-10 scanlines in each 'tear' line, and not every second line as would be expected in an interlaced signal. I could switch to tvtime, but I haven't tested this program using the matrox framebuffer yet and anyway, I need mencoder to record the video. Does anyone recognize the symptoms and know a fix ? -- Ole Andre

afaik know the colour format doenst affect image quality much only perfomance. i would not capture directly to divx/mp3. sure it saves space, but it uses a lot of cpu time. you could try using a higher bitrate like 5000 or so.

Is there something im missing?
Does anyone have an example local_conf.py with custom keys setup?
cheers,
rohbags.
There are some examples in item #19 of the FAQ, however it only shows how
to assign keybindings to known keys. The actual setup is in events.py,
where all the possible inputs in a given context are defined. Someone will
hopefully correct me if I'm wrong here, but at the moment you need to add
new keys to events.py if you wish to use them - for instance, to add the
'0' on the numpad you add to the DEFAULT_KEYMAP list an item key.K_KP_0
: 'n_0'. Then you can assign an action to the 'n_0' key in your
local_conf.py.
It's a hassle, I know, and it needs to be manually added back when you
update freevo, but hopefully someone will either show a better way (if one
exists) or change freevo to read the keymap from local_conf.py.

there must be somewhere else freevo/python defines its keys.

playing with event.py lets me change K_2 and K_8 to UP DOWN events, but
