[Freevo-users] Firefox with CommandMainMenuItem
Hi,
I'm setting up a new freevo box based on 1.5.3 (my old, still running 1.4
seems a bit outdated) and ran into a few minor problems. Here's the first
one:
Firefox doesn't starts in fullscreen mode, at 800x600 on TV its window
is only ~ 600x400. Freevo is windowmanager (-fs -br)
My settings:
plugin.activate('command.CommandMainMenuItem',
args=('/library/fxd/firefox.fxd',), level=35)
cat /library/fxd/firefox.fxd:
?xml version=1.0 ?
freevo
command title=Firefox
cmd/usr/bin/firefox www.pro-linux.de/cmd
stoposd / !-- stop osd before starting --
info
descriptionFirefox/description
/info
/command
/freevo
What do I have to change to make firefox start in fs ?
As I understand from the wiki/google/mailinglists an extra windowmanager (e.g.
ratpoison) is not neccessary anymore. Is this info correct ?
Let's start with this prob... When setup is complete, I'll write a summary
about hardwar/software config. Should I ad it to wiki or elsewhere ?
@Tanja (and others): Nice wiki job!
Regards
Georg

Ok, is there an auto exec setup if you start freevo? I like to have a startup script that executes, during freevo's booting, is this possible? Hi maybe this is what you are looking for: OSD_SDL_EXEC_AFTER_STARTUP and OSD_SDL_EXEC_AFTER_CLOSE in local_conf.py I use the first variable to execute a script to configure my tv-out. That also has to be done while X is already running. The script is executed during freevo's startup. Hope that helps Greetings Tanja __ Verschicken Sie romantische, coole und witzige Bilder per SMS!

[Freevo-users] auto picture playlist/slideshow
Hi Justin, You need to set the following variable in local_conf.py: IMAGEVIEWER_DURATION by default it is set to 0, which means, you have to press a key to continue with the next image. I have just fallen over this by chance while looking for something else. Hope it helps you. Greeting Tanja Ive installed v1.5.3 on YDL 4.0. Im going to be using it mainly to view pictures. Im trying to get the slideshow/autoplay feature to work, without creating ssr files. From reading the docs, it appears that I can turn on some settings and it should autoplay pictures in the directories that I specify. It does start to autoplay, even random, but never makes it past the first picture. If I hit p to pause, and p again, it goes to the next picture, but again, never further. Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated. FYI, currently I have the following set: DIRECTORY_AUTOPLAY_ITEMS = [ image ] DIRECTORY_ADD_RANDOM_PLAYLIST = [ image ] Thanks, Justin. __ Verschicken Sie romantische, coole und witzige Bilder per SMS!

[Freevo-users] AVI Recording / Streaming problems
Hi all! I've some problems with the files produced by mencoder: 1. Almost every second recording has a broken index and mplayer tries to generate an index upon playback. That takes annoyingly long (even on a fast machine with a fast harddisk) and freevo leaves the screen blank at that time. This problem has already been discussed on this list without any outcome. Do others have the same problem? What's the problem and what the solution? 2. Large files 2 GB play fine on the freevo box itself, but do not if being streamed via the web interface to a second machine. Output from mplayer is the following: Resolving home-center for AF_INET... Connecting to server home-center[10.0.32.15]:8080 ... ** warning: this is no extended AVI header.. Resolving home-center for AF_INET... Connecting to server home-center[10.0.32.15]:8080 ... ** warning: this is no extended AVI header.. ... which repeats over and over again. Any ideas? Did mencoder generate a broken AVI file? And if yes, why does it then play on the local machine? Does it have something to do with seeking?
