Re: [Freevo-users] vlc plugin - how to use?
For rtsp streams, you could use mplayer as well.
This is what I'm doing with Freevo in my TV menu. I have server
with vlc providing live streams.
I've tried the plugin, but it created a extra menu. My aim was to
stream live tv

Ow Mun Heng a écrit :
I'm wondering on the new VLC plugin and how it can be used.
Is it only useful for RTSP streams or can it also be used for normal
video? I would suppose that normal video is doable also, however, I
can't get it configured.
Hi,
The vlc plugin is very, very poor at the moment. It only support rstp
streams (and is configured to refuse any other kind of medias), and even
in that case, is poorly implemented in freevo.
I did some very small adjustments to decrease the error level, only. I
really wish to integrate vlc properly, but I'm a very very slow worker
:-) So if someone else is interested, welcome :-)
plugin.activate('video.vlc')
when running it, I get this in the logs
failed to load plugin video.vlc

Yes, this is a 'normal' bug, just corrected in freevo 1.7.2 : you have
to rerun freevo setup to automagically add vlc in your freevo.conf file,
or alternatively, you can do this add manually.

Re: [Freevo-users] Live mplayer TV from a rtsp stream: help needed
Thnx Tanja, you directed me to the right track.
It works like a charm now.
These are my working (minimal!) modifications to you're suggestion.
elif vg.group_type == 'rtsp':
self.fc.chanSet(tuner_channel, True, app='mplayer')
tvcmd = ''
args += ('rtsp://%s/%s' % (config.TVSTREAM, tuner_channel),)
Regards,
Geert
Quoting Tanja [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
My suggestion would be to do something similar to the dvb setup.
Put the following in your local_conf.py:
VIDEO_GROUPS[0].group_type = 'rtsp'
and
TVSTREAM = '192.168.1.1:5554'
and create a section like this in tv/plugins/mplayer.py (e.g after line 133):
elif vg.group_type == 'rtsp':
self.fc.chanSet(tuner_channel, True, app='mplayer')
tvcmd = ''
args += ('rtsp://%s/%s'
%(config.TVSTREAM, tuner_channel))
Just a guess! As my setup is completly different from yours, I cannot
test this idea, but maybe it helps you to figure out the correct way.
Good luck!

Re: [Freevo-users] VLC streaming towards freevo client
You can watch recorded movies using NFS or CIFS as I sometimes currently do, but AFAIK, you can't watch live TV when you don't have a TV card in the client. Putting the TV card on a server and stream the content is a way to have live TV on any computer in the network, without installing a extra TV card. For instance I have a wireless networked portable where I can watch TV. No need for TV cable connection or TV tunner thnx to the streaming concept. I have something working for the portable using php, but I like to extend this towards my freevo client. Yo can make any linux client make watch TV live without having a tuner, if you got a home server Quoting Paul Sijben [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Geert, just for my information, why would you want to stream the data? Wouldn't an NFS or CIFS share achieve your goals simpler?

This machine is also my home internet server (combining best of both worlds) On this machine I have vlc installed and I'm alrady capable of starting a live stream or a recorded stream from my PVR 500 in the CC box. The client interface I have for the moment is a php webinterface (mozilla only) which works in linux and windows. It's client independend. Now I wanna implement live tv stream in a freevo client without TV card. (Everything streamed from my CC server) I'v created a fxd file capable of launching vlc on the client box in stream listening mode, and streamed content gets actualy played. (I'm using a modified vlc.py I grabbed from freevofreebox1.0.tgz) Now I need to find a way to start up vlc with the desired parameters on the server. rsh comes to my mind to do this from the command line. Is there any possibility to execute multiple commands from a fxd file? like starting the stream remotly and then start vlc localy to listen. Other aproaches? Geert - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Freevo-users] usb storage
The description of the problem does look familiar to me.
I have a FC4 with HAL enabled. Working under Gnome Deskop everything
worked out fine, but changing to another windowsmanager it didn't work
anymore and reacted as you described.
I needed to start up gnome-volume-manager before the windowsmanager to
interact with HAL.
BTW I don't use the USB pluging, I did something with a link AFAIR.
Believe a linux version with HAL installed could be causing this.
Hi.
I'm configuring a usb memory to use with freevo 1.5.4. According to the
wiki,
I've added some lines like this to my config:
plugin.activate('usb')
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='video', args=('USB Key', '/mnt/hd'))
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='audio', args=('USB Key', '/mnt/hd'))
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='image', args=('USB Key', '/mnt/hd'))
When I plug in/out the pendrive, the expected directories appear in
freevo,
inside of video/audio/image, but in all cases, I see the images and only
the
images. If I change the name to USB_video/USB_audio/USB_images, I see that
the name is ok. I mean, when I go to the video menu, I see USB_video, but
I
see images. Is this a bug, or is this a mistake in the configuration? I've
also configured this using lines in the AUDIO_ITEMS et al. sections, but
I'd
like the usb storage plugin to work.
Thanks
Alberto

This is a simple metoo reply.
None of the patches John described worked for me.
Have the impression this is specific on python 2.4 acting different then
python 2.3

removed it and installed from the SourceInstallation, and have the

Hi Brian,
by coincedence I just had a similar problem solved, unfortunately it
wasn't the exact same. The discussion is on the devel list if you want
to look up the archives. Here are two suggestions that might apply to
you though.
From Duncan:
I now remember that I send a message back in November about a problem
with v4l2.py and the AMD64 maybe this problem is not limited to the AMD64.
Here's a patch that I've done for this problem:
http://www.linuxowl.com/patches/freevo-1.5.4-v4l2.py.patch
Python was using 'L' for 64bit ints and the interface wanted 32bit ints.
Regards,
Duncan

What i recall is when DEBUG is set in local_conf.py some extra

more :-) . User can workaround this by disabling DEBUG or removing (if

out or apply the following oneliner patch provided by Duncan Web back
in september and not the one he mentioned earlier in this thread ;-)

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo and MythTV
I have both working. But didn't much play around with Mytthv for now. Depending the default user I choose during startup either freevo or mythtv launches. A few differences - Freevo's screen layout looks better to me, specific since I'm using the mediaportal theme you'll find in the links page of the WIKI. (I don't like the themes supported in Mythtv...) - Mythtv looks more feature complete. You should expect some of these features to appear in a next release of freevo (picture in picture...) - Freevo is better documented. Mythtv uses a mysql database to register settings. If you're not have a excelent knowledge of mysql, you need to jump trough hoops to make it work decent. Specific for countries which aren't supported by standard install (xmltv). - Both are mainly using the same tools So mainly, my personal opinion: Freevo has a better layout, looks better and has better documentation. Surely somebody else will not agree. But this is a personal opinion without flaming.

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo and MythTV
Not going to argue here, but I know mythtv is not well documented. at least not to a basic technical level when you have to tweak/adjust configurations. Just had to google a lot (a week, and I'm experienced linux user) to make tv working for the frequencies apropriate to my country. Generaly spoken, if you live in the U.S. or another supported country, you install without tweaking. I remember the setup in freevo was easier on this particular part. The user level doc is good. So it depends of a point of view and which type of docs you're looking at. So probably for you installing mytthv might be a peace of cake due to having a supported country. Thank you all for your feedback I didn't send this mail because I don't like freevo , but I like to check all my options :) Anyway from reading your feedback and other website I think here is what I think about the two programs : Freevo: 1. Simple Interface (GOOD) 2. Very nice with slow PCs (GOOD) 3. Simple to install if you compare it to MythTV (Good) 4. No much themes available (BAD) 5. Not very will documented , you need to search the net for every step even if you expet in Linux, you have to search for every information , sorry this is what I think, please don't talk about wiki, it's has very small basic data (BAD) 6. Not easy to setup or add settings (you have to modify local_conf.py by hand) MythTV: 1. Can cut the Ads from recorded programs (GOOD) 2. You can use Picture on Picture (GOOD) 3. Slide Show built-in (GOOD) 4. Very will documented , check http://www.mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythInstall (GOOD) 5. It use the slowness libraries in the world !!, QT and not GPL (BAD) 6. Also use MySQL and no other option like db file (BAD) 7. not good for slow PC since it will use QT and MYSQL (BAD) Thank you all again On 8/17/05, Andrej van der Zee [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Where did you find that mediaporal theme for Freevo?

Re: [Freevo-users] changing a dvd while running freevo
I think I know how to disable the freevo default automount behaviour in
favor of subfs
So obvious I didn't saw it. Makes me feel uncomfortable.
plugin.remove('rom_drives.autostart')
I've tried it, whitout luck :(
I made sure the submount rule in /etc/fstab was uncommented. removed the
module from being started. Stopped autofs starting up.
Apparantly Fedora Core 4 uses udev and hal.
After rebooting I could play a DVD, but could not remove it anymore. So it
was mounted.
Proof of fact: /etc/fstab
# the uncomment rule
#/dev/hda /media/cdrecorder subfs
fs=cdfss,users,defaults0 0
This rule was automagicly added after reboot
/dev/hda/media/cdrecorder1 auto
pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
So the freevo mechanism does not work for me (yet).
Probably I need to dig into info about HAL and udev to prevent automounts.
On the other hand, usb devices working as one should excpect: painless.
I will reenable the subfs system again and start digging into the deeper
basics of the automount system. However, in my case it should be cleaner
to disable the freevo mount behaviour.
Anybody has some toughts?
Not that it produces errors or is annoying, but having two systems for the
same job is definitly not a good thing.

Geert-
Oops, sorry for the typo. Good point baout teh more and more common
automounting setup of the newer Linux distros. I still use Slackware,
so had not really thought about that.

I believe the point is due to distributions which have automount
working
by default for the CD/DVD device.
In my case I had replace it by submount. So disabling any mounting of
the
DVD/CD should work fine. At least I'm gonna try that.
The only way were submount should be effective: you use the computer
for
multiple purposes (Desktop).
So somewhere in the WIKI there should be a statement to drop
automounting
systems for dvd/cd in order to avoid possible issues. Or is there a way
to
disable this default behaviour in freevo? Most linux distributions will
include (actually they do) more and more auto mounting systems.

All I know is that if I have a disc mounted then start and stop
freevo
it is no longer mounted. Freevo must have some internal mounting
already built in because when I put in a CD or DVD it automatically
mounts it (I don't know if it is officially mounted or if it's just
some internal trickery) and when I press the eject button on the
drive
itself it is unmounted and ejected automatically.
I think the real problem that should be addressed is:
If this is not working for you without supermount/submount then what
is wrong with the freevo configuration you have as it SHOULD work
like
you want it to WITHOUT external automounting facilities.

I would say, preformance issue are the big thing. Freevo has not
need to have any disc's mounted to play and the eject buttons work
fine on my drives. As understand it Freevo handles that part in the
background. Running a second system to do the same thing, is going
ot
add alot of undeeded over head with the potential of race or
confilcts
between the two systems. Lastly it just makes installing freevo that
much harder

I added submount to make my freevobox pass the housewife :) test.
Normal users will push the eject button. Like they use to do with

players. They expect the devices behave like this. Intuitive

Creating a application where the user has to read a phone-book

Mounted CD's needs to be umounted first before ejecting.
Anyway, thnx to submount CD's get ejected using the eject button
instead
of issuing the eject command from the keyboard/remote control.
adding
a
new CD to the tray gets automagicly detected and applied into

So far I didn't see any problem with it. Perhaps this could raise
performance issue with slower processors?

If freevo used local device all work fine(thanks for developers!), but if used device over netblock don't work autorecognition and freevo deside that device have no disk. However lsdvd and mplayer work fine with dvdrom over netblock device. This my configuration: 1) (computer that have dvdrom) kernel - 2.4.26 dvdrom - /dev/hdc command for start netblock server - # enbd-server 4004 -m -r /dev/hdc 2) (computer on which start freevo) kernel - 2.4.26 netblock driver - 2.4.32 (there is no corelation between kernel version and netblock version) freevo - 1.5.3 (mmpython 0.49, python 2.3) command for start netblock client - # enbd-client 192.168.7.98:4004 -n 4 /dev/nda command that work fine # lsdvd /dev/nda # mplayer dvd://1 (i have symbolic link /dev/dvd - /dev/nda, /dev/cdrom - /dev/nda) Could you help me?

For example, I just watched a movie, and I want to watch another. Do i have to exit freevo, umount the dvd, eject the dvd, then insert the new one, then run freevo again? Or can freevo do this sort of thing automatically (well, apart from the 'insert a new one' part :) ). I was just going to configure the supermount stuff last night, but then I thought I had better ask, maybe freevo has some issues when using supermount ?

Re: [Freevo-users] what is the currently best tv tuner card for
No, I don't have a tuner card yet. I had did a little search about mini-itx... What about a VIA EPIA-M Mainboard with a good case... like morex cubid or SilverStone Lascala? The need less power. Does the pvr 250 card fit into these boxes? I build something similar with a epia M 1000. My pvr did fit into it. You will probably need to recompille a bit.

RE: [Freevo-users] VCRVO project, a note on cables
I think a few people need to get into high fidelity audio. To be clear : cable is cable, it's just a piece of metal.( Some people claims they can hear the difference between a gold and a copper cable, come on, let's be serious) Seriousely, ALL cables have a sonic signature. Silver is, in general, a harsher sounding material. Copper is, again, in general, a warmer sounding material. Stranded cables can have a sort of grainy sound, while solid cables sound different depending on the guage. You will find the differences into the higher tones. Not all people are having the same audio bandwidth. Most people are limited into the higher tones. Making high quality setups useless for this people. The level of treatment you are talking about, goes beyond the costs of a cable or a connector. Boxes, the environment and background noise (FAN) comes to my mind as potential disturbing factors, which should be treated as well. So, if you've got a freevo system wich produces some background noise (fans, hd), it isn't worth the pain to spend a lot of money into cabling. Avoiding oxidation however is a must for a professional aproach and has nothing to do with the initial quality, but everything with long term quality. BTW: anyone have build a noiseless Freevo? http://gedeco.no-ip.org -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by OpenProtect(http://www.openprotect.com), and is believed to be clean. --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.

Re: [Freevo-users] VCRVO project, a note on cables
I do agree using gold cables is a joke. But gold doesn't oxidate as well, thats one of the benefits. Most contact problems of cabling are real mechanical problems combined with oxidation. Oxidation would make the resistance higher and therefore the quality of a signal lower. In coax, higher resistance would result in more signal reflections in the cable, so lower quality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold The best way I know but, not always possible: create a good contact and seal it of from the air, keep it away from heat sources. So it can't oxidate. Heating and cooling of contacts makes the connectors move. For lower power electronics I used a hot glue pistol to seal contacts. Never had any problems any more for contacts treaded this way. Never used gold, but I suspect this would be the main reason. You would only be able to hear the difference between gold an other connectors, if there is already some bad contact. gislain wautriche wrote: I don't believe in ultra-quality cables, and seeing some made with gold, men ! that's a real joke ! To be clear : cable is cable, it's just a piece of metal.( Some people claims they can hear the difference between a gold and a copper cable, come on, let's be serious) BUT cables are build in a certain way, it looks like people are messing a lot, here around. there are different cable types : - coaxial cables are shielded which makes them noise protected - twisted pairs are used when the signal is balanced (balancing signal is a way to protect from noise) when not balanced, this cable type is highly noise sensitive. Cables also have impedance which is extremely important in high frequency range. - video cables are 75 ohms (coaxial type) - phones (and network) cables are 100 ohms (mostly twisted pair types) - audio cables have no impedance ( theorie : 0 ohms) because they carry low frequencies signals (coaxial type) Messing with cable impedance will result in signal loss. Messing with cable type will result in noise gain. When in audio range, the less impedance, the better. So theoretically gold is better than any other metals. But, actually the audio input impedance of every apparels is so high that : - there's no real relevant signal loss. - it must be well shielded (coaxial) because there's an antenna effect when connected to a high impedance input. Conclusion is to use the correct cable type and impedance, use quality cables, but don't go buying gold when it works as good with normal ones. Gis.

Thats why we use it in networking instead of coax, in networks we grew out of coax in the eighties apart from the odd ring of posterity. I wouldn't dream of disputing that.

Re: [Freevo-users] VCRVO project

Of course something thats viewable from a freevobox ;) Can be used by others writing about freevo with a link. You need to have some bandtwidth available to host this kind.

Re: [Freevo-users] Videos choppy while recording
I use 2 boxes one dedicated for recording and the other for playing. The box who plays is connected over the LAN using NFS. 100 MB lan using switches in stead of hubs is recommended for this kind of setup Thorsten Pferdekämper wrote: Hi, whenever I watch a video while my freevo box is recording something, the video appears rather choppy. This would be ok for me if top told me that there is no idle time left, but there is about 20% idle all the time. I also can not really imagine that the disk is the problem. It does not change at all when I give the mplayer command a -cache 10. So I have played around with my BIOS settings. Perhaps it is a little bit better now after optimizing some timing settings, but it stays being a little bit choppy. I have also played around with the nice values for mplayer and mencoder. I have mencoder with nice -12 and mplayer with -5. I have also tried to give mplayer a lower nice that mencoder. This way, watching the videos were not choppy any more, but I had some frame drops sometimes. So I kept mencoder with the lower nice, because it is more important for me to have nice recordings. So, does anyone have an idea how to make mplayer use my systems ressources? Alternatively: How can I check where the bottleneck is? Regards, Thorsten I had a runin with this too, and also I prioritized mencoder. the reason is simply that lowest nice value gets preemptive precedence over the other application and mencoder requires cputime every frame you record. If mplayer has lowest nice value, mencoder will buffer some frames and encode when cputime is available, however these buffers can only hold so much. The only sollution I've found is a compromise and give both applications a farily low nice value. I used -10 for a period, however you should be confident that you have sufficient resources (i.e. at least 20% spare cpu time when recording/playing) and accept that although better, sometimes frames will drop anyway (so dont use mplayer while recording anything important... ) oh.. and last sollution would be to get an ivtv based capture card. since they do encoding in hardware, the cpu is left largly untouched...

Re: [Freevo-users] The breathing hard disk light
AFAIK (my technical college time is 20 years behind me now) You need to feed a led with a current of aproximity 15 mA (should have to look a datasheets for this). Depending on the color of the led the tension could be in the neighbourhood of 1.2 V So the value of R would be R = (UHD - 1.2)/15 mA This are a few standard rules out of the head better values: http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/components/led.htm You have to be aware of the following: UHD is the tension measured without charge (without led). The value of R can be a variable of the resistance of the power supply and the resistor you switch in serie For this reason R = R0 + R1 This diagram would be closer to the real world output ^^ HD LED |---||+ HD+ o--[ R0 ]--o---[R1]---+ c|-+ UHD0 UHD |---|(-+ | HD- o--o---+ R0: circuit uncharged: no led. UHD0: Voltage uncharged. 1) measure UHD0: uncharged 2) measure R0 For this we need one suplementary step: R' = UHD0/15mA We connect R' instead of the led and measure the voltage drop UHD' So R0 = (UHD0 -UHD')/15mA Now we have UHD0: The uncharged value of the led voltage R0: The own resistence of the power circuit Iled: The current trough the led (15mA) R = UHD0/Iled R1 = R -R0 Most circuitry has already it's own resistance R0, so it is possible you leave R1 = 0. Afterwards you need to determine the value of C As Chris Ellis pointed out: T = 2pi.rc or as most engineers use to calculate 6,25RC So the value of C must be much greater the the time in seconds it flickers C T/(6.25R) Karl Lattimer wrote: After sitting, almost transfixed on my mac's sleep light as it slowly rises and falls a little college electronics returned to me. ^^ HD LED |---||+ HD+ o--[ R ]--+ c|-+ |---|(-+ | HD- o--+ Now I'm pretty sure this is right, off the top of my head, and would relieve the headache a hard disk light in a freevo can cause. The only problem is I can't rightly remember the method of determining the values of R and c (my notes are long gone), I'll keep looking, and update as necessary and of course post a wiki.

This is a EPIA M10k running Freevo 1.5.2 on Gentoo. Xine and Mplayer is compiled with Xvmc and I have libxvmc-0.13 and xorg-x11-6.8.2 w/unichrome R30. Mplayer and xine is running the lastest version. xine-ui-0.99.3 xine-lib-1.0 mplayer-1.0_pre6 In addition to that, I have issue playing DVDs under Freevo. Running it under X, I can play DVDs fine (even with deinterlace enabled) and I get CPU usage of ~50-60% and no dropped frames. (AFAICT) Running it under Freevo, I see like 85-90% CPU usage. Can anyone share experiences with running Freevo on a EPIA M10K?? I would like to get more info on how best to optimese/get it to work! :-( -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!

Re: [Freevo-users] EPIA M10K + DVD playing on Freevo High CPU Usage
For playing DVD's I'm using a modified (recompilled) version of Xine The epia boards needs some tricks to improve speed.

[Freevo-users] Working alternatives for mplayer with long recordings?
Long recordings in mencoder, and the playbacks in mplayer are unsuable. It doesn't just play. Probably this behaviour is related to mplayer itself rather then freevo. I'm already using one of the latest mplayers available [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -q mplayer mplayer-1.0-0.14.pre6a.1.fc2.rf As a workaround, I could split recording into two parts. (didn't try to do this with transcode yet) Anybody has some usefull hints/tips to solve this?

Re: [Freevo-users] TV-Guide is empty
I suspect it will have to do something with the local_conf.py file Check the section: TV_CHANNELS I hope it din't replace the older file? removing the file TV.xml.pickled and restarting the services might also be helpfull Hi, i have a problem with the TV-Guide. I use nextepg. Then XML file is created an the freevo cache start command start without problems, but when i go into the TV-Guide i cannot see any entries for my TV-Stations. The XML file created by nextepg is ok. I got this problem after upgrading to Freevo 1.5.3 ustin apt-get (with SuSE 9.2). Downgrading tpo 1.5.2 does not solve the problem. Has anyone any idea?

Re: [Freevo-users] recordserver won't change channels
I have had a similar problem for recording a while ago. Turned out to be a
problem with channel listings and frequency.
You find more about my cough solution in this link
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/AnalogTvConfig
section 6
BTW I don't use IVTV, so I leave it up to you to see if it has some value
for you.
Geert
Hi, I can't get Recordserver to change channels.
Here's my setup:
* Bell ExpressVu 3100 (an external tuner)
* A homemade ir blaster + lirc_serial
* A Hauppauge WinTV 350 for TV capture and remote control (using lirc
again to receive the Haupauge remote)
* An nVidia GX 4000 for TV out (until I get TV out with X or DirectFB
working with the Hauppauge card)
* XML TV with ZapToIt with my BEV channels
In order to get channel changing to work (from the TV guide, i.e., for
watching TV) I had to hack irsend_generic. I copied irsend_generic and
called it irsend_generic2.py. It's similar to irsend_generic except it
calls lirc's irsend once for each digit. This worked better for me than
either irsend_generic or irsend_echostar (which didn't work at for me).
I also have a shell script which does the same thing if I need a
non-Python
version.
Channel changing for TV watching (within Freevo) works fine.
Recording works aside from the channel changing. Currently I get around
this setting my BEV 3100 to record and setting Freevo to record. The 3100
handles the channel changing and Freevo handles telling IVTV to capture.
It's a pain but it has got me this far.
Based on other postings and the docs I've modified my local_conf.py (it's
at the bottom of this message). What am I missing?
Do I need a VCR command?
Do I need an explicit TV_CHANNELS list?
Thanks.

Re: [Freevo-users] How to handle recordings on changing TV.xml
Any change the use of Favorites might be a suitable workaround? Geert Anybody a idea? A bit more specific now: In Belgium, the TV channels have the bad habbit of changing the programmation to often. Probably commercial reasons are part of it, but this is beyond scope of my question. If I schedule a recording a week in the future, basicly freevo will add a starttime, stoptime, a channel, and a name for the file. And the recording start at foreseen hour. But if the program listings have been altered? The program starts 30 minutes earlier? or later? looks like there's a part of the record lost. (note: for this reason I update the TV.xml 3 times a day, wich isn't a luxuary) anyway to do something with a showview code?

RE: [Freevo-users] minor problem after upgrading mplayer
Op wo 05-01-2005, om 10:54 schreef John Molohan: ^^ Try changing this to 175250, freevo is dividing this number by 1000 to change the frequency to Mhz for mplayer, you'll probably need to do this for all your channels. Off-course this works, but the funny thing is that it still works in my recordserver, and it worked in the old setup too... So record and view tv seem to handle the freq. in a different way. Anyway this works, no clue why lirc is bugging while playing in mplayer. Probably I'm wrong, but the original description of you're lirc problem gave me the impression lirc shares it's HW IRQ with another device. But the strange thing would be that it only occurs after upgrading mplayer.
