Hmm... I wasn't aware of this. ALSAMIXER2 doesn't set the volume to 0, 
it flips the mute switch. If this is against Freevo standards, I'll 
change it.

This behaviour is intentional. ALSAMIXER2 only control the volume of the 
ALSAMIXER2_MAIN_CTRL. If the MAIN_CTRL is not set, it use the first 
control in the CTRLS list.

I was working on an update to the plugin that would be able to handle 
your setup. I haven't had the time yet to clean it up and submit it. 
I'll try to do so in the short future.

Err, no, don't blame this on the driver, the driver works just fine.
The raw value reported via the sysfs interface is in 'millivolts' and
needs to be adjusted according to the formula in sensors.conf:

jabba:~# echo "(`cat /sys/devices/platform/vt1211.24576/temp1_input` /
1000 - 73.869) / 0.9528" | bc
41

The idlebar plugin must be doing something funny.

Assuming you trust the values? :-)

Out of curiosity, what VIA board do you have? Can you control fan
speeds on your board?

I'm the author of said driver. No need to sigh, that behavior is by
design for good reasons :-) The driver returns what the chip reads at
its inputs. For temp1, this value depends on the implementation of the
board (value of external scaling resistors). The driver can't possibly
know what does values are so scaling is left to the user. Temp2 is
different since it's the chips internal temperature which is always
identical for all boards and thus the driver does the correct scaling.

Check out Documentation/hwmon/vt1211 in the kernel source tree for a
detailed description of the driver.

It's actually not too bad and there's always ways to slow the fan
down. I'm currently twiddling with the BIOS settings to try to make
the fan slower. And I'm trying to get info from ASUS to add support
for hwmon...

The only issue I've run into so far is with the PCI slots. My
PVR-150MCE didn't fit, it was too tall. I had to shave 2mm off to make
it fit :-)

RE: [Freevo-users] wakeupshutdown.py "bug", system is UTC, BIOS isone hour earlier

2005-11-16 Thread Juerg Haefliger
use /etc/adjtime to determine wheter your BIOS time is UTC (man
hwclock), or add a switch to local_conf.py, i.e.:

if (config.BIOS_TIME = 'utc')
   wakeup = time.gmtime(wakeup)
else:
  wakeup = time.localtime(wakeup)

or

if os.system(`grep -i utc /etc/adjtime > /dev/null 2>&1`):
   wakeup = time.localtime(wakeup)
else:
   wakeup = time.gmtime(wakeup)


and all the above is of course untested :-)

[Freevo-users] Mplayer has the hiccups...

2005-10-10 Thread Juerg Haefliger
Hi,

I'm running into this strange problem that I'm not able to solve.
Whenever I watch a certain real video stream via freevo/mplayer the
video stutters and it looks like it's skipping frames every 2 seconds
or so. Audio is fine and CPU usage is around 75%.

Mplayer gets called by Freevo the following way:

app=/usr/bin/mplayer -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100 -screenw 800
-screenh 600 -fs -slave -ao alsa -v -vo xv,sdl,x11 -cache 2048
rtsp://63.236.6.228:554/ondemand/7/1927/11457/v10092005/swissinfo.download.akamai.com/11457/sfdrs/ts/TS_09102005-450k.rm
-vf pp=de, poll=-1

Now the strange thing is if I run exactly the same command outside of
Freevo (with Freevo still running in the back), everything is just
fine and the video runs smoothly.

I also tried to disable audio and bumping mplayers priority (renice to
-20) when running it through Freevo but that didn't make a difference.

Any ideas?

Thanks
...juerg

[Freevo-users] recordserver crash

2005-10-06 Thread Juerg Haefliger
Hello,

I finally managed to get most of my Freevo box working (including
watching TV). But when I try to record a show I get the following
error dump in the recordserver log:

2005/10/06 22:30 PDT [*RecordServer*] SAVE: saving cached file
