RE: [Freevo-users] What I find funny about the virus is..

2003-08-01 Thread Mark Casey
Mac OS X looks nice, as long as it isn't such a piece of crap that <=9.x
is...

Before any Mac zealots jump to it saying Mac OS 9 etc is great, I work as an
IT Manager in a mixed Linux, Windows & Mac environment..  The machines that
always give the most hassle are not the Windows machines but the Mac's...
Take from that what you will.
Not used OS X, we're planning on getting the Mac's onto it once the
specialist software we use has been ported to OS X and is decently stable.

I digress, but what you probably meant to say was that Mac OS X kicks
the crap out of Linux. Windows just has games going for it. :)

[Freevo-users] What I find funny about the virus is..

2003-08-01 Thread Mark Casey
That it's for windows and was posted to a list where the project in question
is for linux.
Mind you, I bet most people on this list use Windows..  I use linux for
server stuff but Windows still kicks the crap out of linux on the desktop.

My radeon 7000 just simply outputs to the monitor and TV if the TV is

Sorry if this too vague, but really, it just worked for me.

[Freevo-users] Question to all people who use Freevo with a Radeon and tv out

2003-07-23 Thread Mark Casey
What did you use and how did you set it up?
I've currently got no idea how to set it up under Freevo so the tv out
works, I'm not too bothered if it requires X since I've since compiled and
installed it on my Freevo Gentoo box.
Got it working using the framebuffer so it outputs to the monitor but it
tends to either freeze up or just come up with a black screen for a second
or so then goes back to the freevo menu screen.

I've got a 32MB Radeon 7000 here with two vga outs and a single s-video out.

Thanks

Hmm, okay...  Just ran the kernel using vga=791 and it seems to run.. Albeit

None of my old vcd's, svcds or divx's work.

I'm totally stuck, I don't know where to begin with freevo now that it is
installed. All I get when I try running is a great many errors. (see
attached file) I'm guessing I need to edit the /etc/freevo/local_conf.py but
I don't even know where to begin with that damn thing.

This is on a system where I'm wanting it to display to a PAL TV, I have a

dvd/cd drive, 4GB hdd, a p3 500 processor and an old kingston 10mbit isa nic
I had laying about.. Using the ne isa module for that.

I'll also attach my xfree config too, ideally at the end of the day I want
to be able to just have this machine connected upto a tv so I can watch
films, listen to music through it using the remote that came with my wintv
card to control it etc

Thanks, but now I need to find a way to stop freevo from wanting qt etc.
Even though I do...

USE="-X -kde -qt -gnome -gtk" emerge -p freevo

It still shows X, qt etc in there...  I've heard of the time it takes to
compile qt and no way in hell do I want to compile that...  What does freevo
want with qt?
This is on a P3 500 btw.

Hi,

1/ You have to create the directories /var/.../freevo* by hand

2/ add "PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/portage" in your /etc/make.conf

I didn't reach to make freevo install with emerge, someone (Dirk to not sell
him :) say me to wait the next release of freevo, which must be released
quite soon.

David

Okay, just created the /usr/local/portage dir and emerge seems to work.. But
it wants to emerge kde-base/kde-env-3-r2, x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r2 etc
I've got X11, kde etc set as -X, -kde etc in make.conf USE settings... Does
freevo absolutely require them?
Ie. If I run ' # USE="-X" emerge freevo ' will freevo then not work etc?

[Freevo-users] Kernel patches?

2003-07-21 Thread Mark Casey
Currently finishing off installing my gentoo system, compiling the kernel at
the moment (I have a feeling it won't be the last time I do it for this
system).
The hardware I have is a Radeon 7000 (for tv output), a wintv 878 based card
with a remote control and a a cheapo cmi8738 soundcard.
The machine will be used for watching tv, playing dvd's and divx's
primarilly.

What kernel options/patches should I be using?
I've made sure to enable stuff for the most blatantly obvious but there is
always something you miss.
Are there any required kernel patches for the above hardware so they can be
used under freevo?
BTW, not wanting to use X, I don't want to wait forever and a day for the
thing to compile and if it can be done with the framebuffer then I see no
reason to have X on my system.

Thanks

Mark

[Freevo-users] Does Freevo require X?

Just curious since I've currently got a gentoo system compiling, its only
going to be used for freevo to output to a tv.
>From what I've read on the freevo website it seems to require it, mostly I'd
prefer it not to cos I expect X will take ages to compile.

[Freevo-users] Recommendations about which way to go about setting up freevo

2003-07-13 Thread Mark Casey
Gotten all the hardware for my freevo box (except a psu & case).
PIII 500, WinTV (878 based card), ati radeon 7000 (2x vga out, 1x svideo
tv-out), cmi8378 (for sound), 4GB ide hdd etc.

The previous PII machine I did have ready to set up has now died, so anyway
if anyone has setup freevo using the same hardware have you had any problems
or recommendations on which choices to go for ie. Framebuffer or x11 output
etc.
Also, out of curiosity are the configuration files for freevo stored in a
different place than their defaults under Gentoo?
Since Gentoo does that with the Apache conf files etc.

Thanks

RE: [Freevo-users] Does anyone use the dxr3 or hollywood plus?

Very clever.

Some divx's don't play well?  Surely encoding it as a mpeg stream in
realtime would take up most of the cpu time, even on a p3 800?
Gotta hand it to whoever thought of encoding it as a mpeg stream then
sending it to the card, very ingenuis.

Thanks for the info

Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] Does anyone use the dxr3 or hollywood plus?


I am using one in my setup right now.  It displays teh menus and 
everything through the dxr3 (in my case, Hollywood RealMagic+).
It is nice, because it fills up the entire TV screen as supposed to 
leaving black bars which I got with my TNT2 Ultra...
The drawback to it is that everything must be converted to mpg to go out 
to the card, so some stuff doesn't play well on slower CPUs...I have a 
celery 500 at the moment, and TV was impossible, and some divxs don't 
play well.  I have a pentium 3 800 that I haven't gotten around to 
putting into the machine yet that will hopefully solve the issues.

The other problem is you lose keyboard input while mplayer is 
running...you need to get a remote control, which is kinda a pain.  I 
don't think there is any way to code around that at all.  All you can do 
with the keyboard is hit Ctrl-C to stop the movie, but it also kills 
freevo, so in my case I need to blindly hit up, enter to restart it. 
You could probably get around it by having a bash script that would 
restart freevo whenever it sensed that it died...You still won't be able 
to pause/fast forward/anything though...

[Freevo-users] Does anyone use the dxr3 or hollywood plus?

2003-06-25 Thread Mark Casey
I've had this hollywood plus decoder card for ages and on the Freevo site it
mentions you can use one for tv output.
Does that mean it can display the freevo ui etc or does it just display
decoded mpeg's etc.
Kinda curious since it would be nice to use that for tv output instead of
buying a graphics card capable of tv output.
I have a spare voodoo 3 sitting around but that's vga out only.
By my knowledge doesn't it display only the decoded mpeg video only?

I wouldn't know since I've never used it with a tv, just ordered a s-video
to scart connector for my tv though.  :)

Thanks

Mark

[Freevo-users] ATI Rage All In Wonder Pro 8MB?

2003-06-23 Thread Mark Casey
Currently got my eyes on the above graphics card on ebay, been reading a bit
of http://gatos.sourceforge.net/ and from what I can gather support for the
card is quite good.
However, is there anyone here who uses the card with freevo?
How easy is it to get up and running, are there any particular problems with
the card?
Or should I go for a different card?

I want to make sure I don't end up buying it and regretting it.


Thanks

Mark
