Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash

2009-06-13 Thread Bernard Mentink
Hi Evan,

I thought that the OSD was supplied by freevo as there was info regarding
OSD in the local_cong.py file, I guess that was a wrong assumption for TV.

I am using mplayer, so not sure what OSD to expect. I was sort of expecting
volume level to show up and maybe channel info etc

What should I be getting? I am getting nothing at all. Thinking about it
though, my remote is sending commands to freevo, I guess freevo is not
passing them on to mplayer. Do I have to configure lirc for mplayer to get
it's OSD showing up? Seems strange as the volume is being handled by freevo,
why not handle the OSD as well ...

Thanks,
Bernie

1.9 introduces a unified OSD.

The OSD depends on the TV player. TVTime has the best OSD. Xine has an
okay but minimal OSD, Mplayer has  a spartan OSD.VLC I have not used.
Are you sure the problem is that the OSD is not showing up or that you
are expecting the wrong one?

Generally a window manager is not required for Freevo. The exception is
when you want to run external commands from the Freevo command menu.

What you need to remember about Freevo is that it is the glue that
sticks applications together to provide a multimedia system.

So if you need to know what the options are for a specific application
the use the application's documentation.

The Wiki is the property of the community and it is the task of the
community to keep it up to date!

Anyway after my little rant all plug-in are self-documented but may be
the documentation is not as perfect as it should be.

The trick is to first find the plug-in your interested in.

# freevo plugins -l | grep livepause
tv.livepausePlugin to allowing pausing live TV.
# freevo plugins -i tv.livepause
...

I'll add a bit to the quick-start guide in the wiki for this.

The same information is also on the Freevo webserver under the help menu.

TV is the hardest part of Freevo to configure but once you have archived
this the rest is a piece of cake.
