Re: [Freevo-users] The future of Freevo(.org)
Since there will be no more changes for the time being, how about a last official release? Nothing fancy, just tarballs in the website with a proper version number and a small README and INSTALL. I never participate here, but I'm a Freevo fan too. It is still being used, its just that there are so many other options now and more actively developed too.

[Freevo-users] Freevo crashes with non-ascii filenames

[Freevo-users] mpd interface for freevo
I have a good idea for freevo: A real mpd interface (eg: using libmpdclient, and not simply parsing mpc's output). I recently tested an mpd client called GMPC [1] and it looks really impressive. It would be neat to have an interface similar to this, with the ability to load or create playlists, and to leave part of the complexity to mpd. It could even have visualizations via projectM [2].

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo vs XBMC vs Boxee
My HTPC usage is similar to yours, I don't have a tv tuner, I use it for movies and tv shows, music and occasionally gaming. A long time ago I was using MMS (My Media System) but then I moved to Freevo. MMS has some advantages over Freevo, namely the ability to create playlists through the interface, and then even save them. Its also way more stable and doesn't have the plethora of bugs that Freevo has. The CPU usage is way lower, probably because it is coded in C++. The user interface is well designed and easy to use. On the downside, MMS is not so configurable nor themeable, less extensible (Freevo has a big number of plugins, although many don't work), and there hasn't been any release since 2009, which makes me think that its either very mature or it dying. I also tried MythTV for a while, but abandoned it because its strong point was TV recording which I'm not interested in, and it was too complex. I have yet to try XBMC or Boxee. -- Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.

I had the same problem before because I wanted to switch between
subtitles of different languages, or disable them altogether, so I
added this to my local_conf.py file:
EVENTS['video']['tv-3'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg='sub_select')
tv-3 is the lirc command that changes the subtitles. Every time
freevo receives tv-3 it will send the command to mplayer.
Check out the mplayer documentation for all possible commands.
These are the commands I use, you might find some of them useful:

# Cambia aspecto

Yes, this is exactly the configuration I have, but its not usable.
The output is really strange, and all I can do is advance in a
playlist that has been already playing by using another client.
I think this plugin requires a specific version of mpc which I don't have.

[Freevo-users] Using MPD
Hello, Can anybody explain me how to use Freevo 1.9.0 with MPD? I know there are 2 plugins, adn I have tried them both. The old one shows a separate MPD menu entry. Apparently it runs mpc and shows exactly the same output as mpc in the screen, which is the volume level. The new one doesn't even show up anywhere, and if I try to play my music apparently it tries to play it directly (without MPD).

[Freevo-users] Neo Geo support
Hello,
I want to share my experience on adding support for Neo Geo games to
Freevo 1.9 in case anybody is interested.
I've found that the procedure a bit complicated, but the results are
worth it. The quality of the games is impressive.
Here is what has to be done:
1. Install gngeo 0.7 from http://gngeo.berlios.de/
If you want an assembler optimized build you should first install
nasm, and then configure gngeo with:
--enable-i386asm --enable-star --enable-raze
2. Download the BIOS rom files for neogeo. This is the hard part,
because there are so many versions, and not all of them work with all
games. The one I'm using allows me to run most games, but I'm still
missing KoF, and other interesting games. I found the BIOS rom files
in a torrent website, its called neogeo.zip, and its a 2.1Mb file.
If anybody can point me to where to find valid bios rom files for KoF
I would appreciate it.
3. Configure gngeo for your freevo user. You can copy a sample
configuration file from the gngeo tarball, but you have to configure
two important options:
"rompath" should point to where you store your games rom files. Game
rom files must be kept inside their zip archives.
"biospath" should point to where you store your bios rom files (this
is missing in the sample configuration). I keep my bios rom files in
a separated directory from games, uncompressed.
You might want to enable fullscreen and configure the joysticks as well.
I'm using these gamepads:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/super-nes-nintendo-controller-usb,9809.html
The website says they cost 2700 yen, but I only paid 1000 yen for each.
With these gamepads I used this button configuration:
p1joy 3,1,0,2,7,6,0,1,1,1
p2joy 3,1,0,2,7,6,0,1,1,1
4. Configure Freevo for gngeo. You have to add a new item to the
GAMES_ITEMS configuration option.
It should be possible to just use the GENERIC type, but I implemented
a new type called NEOGEO.
I'm attaching a patch to this message that enables you to use the
NEOGEO type as well.
I'm no python programmer, so my patch is very simple: I just copied
the classes used for MAME and changed a few things to make them work
with gngeo.
I would be very happy if this is integrated into the official Freevo
distribution.
To apply the patch just save the attachment to /tmp and then run:
patch -p 2 -d /usr/lib/python/site-packages/freevo/games -i
/tmp/freevo-neogeo.patch
Then configure freevo like this:
In /etc/freevo/local_conf.py:
GAMES_ITEMS = [
('Super Nintendo', '/data/roms/snes', ('SNES',
'/var/lib/freevo/bin/zsnes', '-m', '', None )),
('Neo Geo','/data/roms/neogeo', ('NEOGEO',
'/var/lib/freevo/bin/gngeo', '-f', '', [ 'zip' ])),
]
In /usr/share/freevo/freevo_config.py:
GAMES_NEOGEO_CACHE = '%s/romlist-%s.pickled' % (FREEVO_CACHEDIR, os.getuid())
Note: you can make this second change in /etc/freevo/local_conf.py
instead of /usr/share/freevo/freevo_config.py, because files in /usr
will be overwritten when you upgrade Freevo.
That's all.
I would be glad to get any comments or suggestions. I'm willing to
post this information to the Wiki if anybody considers it useful, but
first I would like to know if the developers are willing to include my
trivial patch in the official distribution.

Re: [Freevo-users] Video groups and mutliple channels
Thanks.
Using MythTV as the backend might work but my WAF would drop
dramatically. It is an interesting option though.
I had assumed that I could record one channel per card and so was going
to setup 9 channels (ie TV1-Sat1, TV1-Sat2, TV1-Aerial, ... ). But your
comment suggests I can only record one channel even if I have two or
more cards. So would my plan work?
I do know python but haven't looked at the Freevo code so I don't think
changing the recordserver is a good idea for me. Putting effort into
helping with V2.0 would be a better plan.

[Freevo-users] Video groups and mutliple channels
I'm a MythTV user who is considering moving my system to Freevo. I came across
an issue that might be a deal breaker and want to make sure its not my
misunderstandings and/or prejudice.
Consider this system (which is a simplification of what I have)
* A server with two DVB-S card and one analogue card
* My family has three channels (TV1,TV2 & TV3 {newzealand has creative channel
names ;-) } ) they watch all the time.
* They are available on all three cards but the analogue signal has very bad
reception with lots of ghosting.
What is the best way to setup Freevo?
At least I would like to record any two programs on any of the three channels
using the DVB-S cards.
Ideally I would like to record a third program using the lower quality card.
I can live without watching live TV.
If this isn't possible will version 2.0 be able to do this?
Thanks for your help.

[Freevo-users] Freevo + mp1e: revisited
Okay, still trying to get this to work, and I have
found one of my problems: a lot of the posts I read
indicated that I need to use '%(timecode)s' for the -n
argument of mp1e, however, I kept getting the
following error:
-

-
When I looked at line 103 of generic_record.py, I only
saw definitions for 'channel', 'filename', and
'seconds'; no 'timecode'.
For anyone currently using mp1e: how do you pass the
time argument to mp1e? From what I can tell, the '-n'
switch only accepts either the number of frames or a
hh:mm:ss type of time argument. I suppose in my
script, I could pass '%(seconds)s' and have it
calculate the number of frames (29.97 * %(seconds)s),
but that seems clunky. I will give it a try, however.
In the meantime, any other light you could shed on
this would be appreciated.

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo + mp1e
Hi Aubin,
Actually, I installed xawtv-control, and I think I can
control channel changing using 'v4lctl' to do the
channel changing. Here is my VCR_CMD now:
--- VCR_CMD ---
VCR_CMD = ('/usr/bin/v4lctl setnorm NTSC; ' +

'-s640x480 ' +
'-b3 ' +
'-n%(timecode)s ' +
'-o %(filename)s.mpg')
--- VCR_CMD ---
However, the traceback looks the same:

However, I think the problem may be a little more than
that, since if I use the above mp1e commands on the

sits there, so I will see if I can get that working
first, but in the meantime, any ideas on what the
traceback is showing would be appreciated.

That would be your 'schedulerec' script. correct? If
so, I did a search for that on both the Users and
Devel archives, but no luck (I did find references to
'schedulerec', but mostly in error postings)
Since Sourceforge's search is useless if you are

were very limited.

[Freevo-users] Freevo + mp1e
Hello, I wish to play around with using mp1e with Freevo, but am not having much luck. I can't get the coding for the timecode right, and also it appears from previous posts that mp1e does not know how to change channels, so usually some sort of wrapper is required.

[Freevo-users] Error running 1.3.4
Hi,
I didn;t see this on the list, but hopefully someone
can shed some light on what is not happening.
Mandrake 9.1
Freevo 1.3.4 (binary download)
When I reboot my machine, and have it run the 1.3.4
version of Freevo, it does not run. The following is
the only entry that shows up in

Could the error be because Freevo is being called
automatically on boot, as opposed to being called by a
"user"?
(this is just a guess; I really have no idea why this
is happening)

[Freevo-users] Freevo-1.3.2: thoughts and questions
Hello, I just downloaded and installed the binary release on freevo-1.3.2. As always, great work! Freevo keeps getting better and better. I do have some thoughts and questions, below: Web Interface: Looks very nice, however, it tells me that the "recording server is down". I do have the cronjob of the record_daemon.py running every minute, but I suspect there is something else that needs enabled. I was unable to find anything in the the new local_conf.py or freevo_config.py . What do I need to do to enable the recording server? Also, still witht he Web Interface, I see a link for "Favourites". Is this something where one can enter the shows one wants recorded automatically, and Freevo will automagically record them when they come up in the schedule? If so, is this feature available in the "regular" Freevo Interface as well (and if so, how does one access it)? TV Guide Search: Has this been implemented, or is this slated for the next release? I know it appears you can search for programs from within the web interface, however I am referring to searching from within Freevo itself. If this is implmented, what is the Freevo name I need to map in lirc? MPlayer: it appears that the runtime MPlayer is still unable to play videos when the display is 'fbdev:vidix'. When I attempt to do so, I just get kicked backed to the file list. This isn't a biggie, as I do not mind using a "system" MPlayer (I will likely have to do so if I eventually start playing DVDs using Freevo), but I just thought I would mention it. Well, those are the "negatives" (but not really big ones!). For the positives, I really love the ability to view what shows have been set to record, and to delete them as well. Well, I've babbled enough. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Probably, but my Freevo box is running Mandrake 9.1,
which is i586 optimized, and as I said, things are
running quite well.
My compilations are done on an AMD 750MHz machine
(also running Mandrake 9.1), however. I want to keep
as little devel stuff off the Freevo box as possible.

> to scrounge up a spare machine, slap gentoo on it
If your processor/RAM is enough, instead of scrounging
up a spare machine, why don't you just run a UML
virtual server (http://user-mode-linux.sf.net). Then
you can use that UML virtual machine as your Freevo
build only machine :-) the onyl snag may be in
getting Gentoo on there; I am not aware of any Gentoo
UML machine installs :-(

I ran it from the 'helpers' directory as well as the main freevo directory, but I get the same error in each case: --- ERROR --- Traceback (most recent call last): File "./helpers/imdb.py", line 5, in ? import httplib, urllib ImportError: No module named httplib --- ERROR --- I am guessing that the Python 'httlib' is not included with the Freevo runtime, but before I go out and try to add it to my system, I just wanted to make sure that I was not doing something wrong first.

Re: [Freevo-users] Re: EPIA and Framebuffer: Not playing full screen
Hey Jason, Quick question or two regarding fbdev:vidix... (I have the VESA framebuffer working fine) > you use mplayer with -vo fbdev:vidix. First question: when I compile MPlayer, I don't see 'vidix' os one fo the output options. I see 'xvidix', but no 'vidix'. Here is my "summary" output from just runnig './configure': --- BEGIN --- Install prefix: /usr/local Data directory: /usr/local/share/mplayer Config direct.: /usr/local/etc/mplayer Byte order: Little Endian Optimizing for: i586 mmx 3dnow mtrr Enabled optional drivers: Input: streaming edl tv cdda mpdvdkit2 vcd Codecs: libdv libavcodec libvorbis libmad liblzo Audio output: alsa9 esd arts oss nas sdl mpegpes(file) Video output: xvidix dxr3 sdl vesa jpeg png mpegpes(file) fbdev aa ggi opengl dga xv x11 Disabled optional drivers: Input: tv-v4l tv-bsdbt848 dvdnav dvdread dvdcss Codecs: qtx opendivx xvid real xanim dshow/dmo win32 gif Audio output: sgi sun dxr2 win32 Video output: bl zr dxr2 directx gif89a svga xmga mga directfb tdfxfb 3dfx --- END --- There's 'xvidix' but no simple, plain 'vidix'.

I.e.: display = fbdev:xvidix And for the scaling options you mentioned, I assume those are added to the appropriate video playing .PY file?

Actually, it seems that my problem was with the version of X Windows that I was using. I was running 4.3.1(??), from the Mandrake 9.1 install. However, the EPIA trident_drv.o module supplied by VIA is for 4.2.0. So, I: - reinstalled a bare-bones Mandrake 9.1 (I didn't want to have to deal with all the dependencies I would run into if I just removed the RPMS); - downloaded and installed the XFree86 4.2.0 binaries from ftp.xfree86.org; - dropped in your XF86Config file (I had to do a little minor tweaking of the drivers to be loaded) Result: I now have twm displaying on my screen (it's as ugly as heck, but that's onlt the first step!) Next step: get Freevo downloaded and installed so I can really test out it's performance under X. My goal, actually, is to have a system that can support both framebuffer and X. Why? Why not? :-) Thanks for your help!

Hello Ranger, > To start out I partitioned my 10 GB hard drive with > a 128 MB Swap Partition, a 50 MB Boot and then just The swap space is a little small, I think. General rule of thumb is that it should be 2-2.5 times the size of your RAM, though when you get up to about 512MB of RAM, I think 1X the amount of RAM should be sufficient. The boot partition is definately way big. Most of the time, I even forgo the boot partition, but if I do create one, I find 15-20MB more than adequate (unless you plan on compiling a lot of kernels and keeping them arounnd :-) ) > bootloader. After I got in I installed freevo ver > 1.3.2pre4, freevo-runtime, freevo-appz, mozilla, I assume you are referring to the RPM's?

Hrm, I kinda strugging with X myself (I currently run in Frambuffer), but the default window manager (twm) should be adequate; IceWM prolly just adds to the overhead. To those running Freevo under X: what window managers do you use?? > my hardware working except for my sound card, (not > sure what to do here). That's odd; Mandrake is usually *excellent* at detecting and configuring hardware. What sound card do you have? Perhaps you should install and confidure 'sndcfg' (or 'sndconfig'??). It should be included with Mandrake 8.2 . > and looks stupid. When I try to play a video file > it will display the first frame and then it Hrm, very odd.

[Freevo-users] EPIA and Framebuffer: Not playing full screen
Hello, I am playing with an EPIA board. After some struggles with gettiung X to run on the TV, I decided to try the framebuffer mode. I have everything pretty much working (Freevo menu, 800x600 screen size, etc.), except when I play video files, they are not played full screen. Instead, they are played in a small window that is centered in the middle of the TV screen. Would this be an issue with the framebuffer driver (I am using the epiafb.o module from <http://epia.sf.net>, although I am running under 'fbdev' in Freevo. My frambuffer lines (the ones I use to get into framebuffer mode) look like this: modprobe fbgen modprobe epiafb fbset -g 800 600 800 600 32 /usr/local/epifb/tvout -b ntsc The Freevo main menu itself looks pretty good (there's just a small black strip across the top. It's only whne playing video files that I have an issue. Any light you can help shed on this matter is appreciated. Or, if you require further info, please let me know what you need, and I will see what I can do about getting it for you. Thank you, in advance. Alan P.S.: The main reason I want to try to continue to use framebuffer mode isn't so much to do with my current failure to get X Windows output on my TV. It's more to do with the fact that Freevo responds much quicker in framebuffer mode than X Windows (from what I could test when I was running it on the monitor). However, the skin colouring is *so* much more vibrant in X than from frambuffer (in framebuffer, it looks kinda aqua-coloured, and in X, it looks like a really awesome blue!) Out of curiousity, would performance under X be more a function of CPU or RAM? There's not much I can do about the CPU, but I can add more RAM to the 128MB already in there.

[Freevo-users] How to do TV recording??
Hello,
I've been trying to get TV recording working. I am
abloe to record with MEncoder using the following
MEncoder commands:
/usr/bin/mencoder -tv
on:driver=v4l:device=/dev/video0:alsa:amode=1:width=320:height=240:norm=NTSC:chanlist=us-cable:channel=
-o /media/Video/recorded/-.avi -ovc
lavc -lavcopts ${LAVCOPTS} -oac mp3lame -lameopts
br=128:cbr:mode=0 -endpos
NOTE: The information on the '<>' brackets are
typically variables filled in from input when then
script is called.
I edited my local_config.py file so the MEcoder
options match what I have in my script that works, and
I get a 'freevo_record.lst' and 'freevo_record.log'
file in mt '/tmp' directory.
I also made the following entry inmy crontab:
* * * * * /usr/local/freevo/freevo execute
/usr/local/freevo/src/tv/record_daemon.py
so that the 'record daemon' gets run every minute.
The 'freevo_record.log' indichttp://personals.yahoo.ca

[Freevo-users] Freevo 1.3.2-pre2: minor problems
Okay, I've been playing around with Freevo 1.3.2-pre2 for about a week now (now that I figured out the Lircd problem... well, work-around, really :-) ) Anyway, I have come across a couple of problems: 1. RECORDING When I hit the "record" button on my remote, everything seems to go as planned (i.e., it is indicated that the program is scheduled, and there even appears a couple files to that effect in '/tmp'), however, when the appointed time comes around, nothing is recorded. I have tried using the menocder binary that comes with Freevo, as well as the system mencoder I installed, and neither work. I have tried putting the same mencoder commands manually on the command line, and they work fine; just the scheduling does not seem to go as planned. Most likely something I am doing wrong, but just thought I'd post, just in case :-) Also, I have noticed that when I try to change the video quality from "High" to "Medium" or "Low", Freevo crashes (actually, it craches if I try to change any of the defaults). I can post the log showing the crash, if you would like. Anyway, overall I am a much happier camper now :-) This recording thing is a minor annoyancxe since I am able to do it from a script, but it would be nicer to be able to do it from Freevo as well :-) TIA, Alan __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Tablet PC.

Hello! Mandrake 9.0 Freevo v1.3.2-pre1 ATI VE Wonder tv tuner card SiS 7018 on-board sound card (uses Trident chip) Okay, I have the picture problem solved when watching TV through Freevo. Now, I have very low sound; I have to crank everything up in 'aumix' to 100% to hear the slightest bit of sound (and I do mean the *slightest). I do have the loopback audio cable going from the VE Wonder "sound out" to the "line in" on the sound card. I think I recall having issues with sound when I had all of this working in Freevo 1.2.6, but I am unable to recall what they were, and I am unable to find anything on the list. Any help is appreciated. I do have an SBLive 5.1 sound card, but since I only have two PCI slots, I;d have to either remove my Buz card, which I use for transcoding from VHS to CD-R, or I'd have to remove the VE Wonder, which would defeat the purpose of this :-) TIS.

However, the 'internal-main-0.log' output indicates I am using 'tuner=3'. This could very well be source of the problem. Any idea where Freevo would be getting 'tuner=3' from?? (Perhaps if I correct that, then that will turn out to be the source of the problem). ALl other suggestions very much welcome as well. :-) TIA, Alan __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Scholarships for Techies!
