[Freevo-users] Bluetooth Remote Control (using a SE T630)
Hi, I struggled with making my own IR receiver to use with LIRC but it's been 1 year with no progress. (yeah.. Lazy :-) ) Anyway, i stumbled across Bluemote (can't remember the URL right now) but it connects a Bluetooth enabled phone (I have a Sony Ericssion T630 and according to the site, the author makes it work on his T610) Got it up and running in 30 min, right now, fine tuning it with some scripts etc to do volume muting/volume up/dn etc.. The SE's joystick can be used as a mouse(if needed) Limitation is only towards the # of keypad the phone has. I've tried it with Freevo and it works great. (under X11, but not yet as standalone so I can't confirm if it will work standalone) Additional benefit is it can even transmit simple commands to the host pc via an exec command. - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[Freevo-users] Left/Right Audio Switching
I know this isn't entirely a Freevo Question but I've not been getting much result/responses elsewhere. The thing here is, I have some avi files which are dual-language. eg: Left = English Right = Chinese When I play them using freevo (or xine or mplayer) it will output in Stereo and I will get left+right = English+Chinese = Garbage. I found out that I can do audio switching using mplayer using : 1. mplayer -af channels=2:2:0:1:0:0 (map left channel to right and output) 2. mplayer -af pan=2:1:1:0:0 However, what I've not been able to find is a way to map a shortcut key to either of the 2 actions. a mplayer -input cmdlist doesn't list either of the 2 options as a map-able command. Do any of you guys here know how that can be done or if it's possible??

[Freevo-users] Slow Access to RMVB (Real media) files
Hi, I have a number of RMVB files (Real Media/Read Video) which I find to be of great quality and yet small size. The problem I have is that when freevo access folders which contains these rmvb files, it' will slow to a crawl. It will show Scanning directory, be patient and then depending on the # of files I have there, take between 5 min to 1 hour to process them. (it's even worst when these files are not local, but on a SMB network share) I know it is processing these files because from the Wife's windows box, I can see it accessing the files incrementally. I'm not sure what freevo is doing. Is it going through Mplayer to _look_ at the file? Or is it going through mminfo? I tried doing $ mminfo -d /path/to/some/rmvb file mmpython media info application/pcm registered [SNIP] ... No Type found by Extension. Trying all ...

[Freevo-users] Video Volume Control
Hi All, I found only one reference to this issue in a Feb 23 2005 post titled Unable to adjust volume. Basically the problem here is that once mplayer is spawned, volume control normally done using the M/N key will not work and will have to resort to using 0/9 which is mplayer's mapping. That's OK, unfortunately, mplayer's volume is already MAX and still Freevo volume is still at 40% (that's the default volume) This doesn't happen when playing audio files because I believe focus is still on freevo and not on mplayer. Anyone has any comment on this? BTW, how do I re-map freevo's shortcut keys?

[Freevo-users] Freevo And integration of VLC
Hi All, Has anyone on this list been able to get VLC intergrated into Freevo? I am currently running Freevo as a set-top box and set-up a separate server box running VLC and acting as a VoD server. Right now, VLC is using RTSP protocol (Live.com media streaming implementation protocol) and xine does not support it. Even though Mplayer is said to support it, but according to the Mplayer and live.com's devel, it's support is broken. (Hence I can't use neither mplayer nor xine to play the VLC VoD Streams) Per freevo-archive, Dirk Meyer had this to say [quote] So why not vlc? First of all, I couldn't get it running. Second: every new player (vlc, gstreamer, whatever) takes time to integrate into Freevo. I don't have that time. So _I_ will only integrate two programs: mplayer and xine. But this two will be integrated with freevo having _full_ control over the stream and freevo drawing on top of the video. So this is more important to me than supporting every player. But if someone whats to help, I would accept vlc patches. [/quote] So, since this is a feature which I would like to have, I'm willing to put up a bounty for it. If there are interest, please email me offline to work out the details.

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%.

(video on demand) I'm currently experimenting on doing VOD(RTSP Streams using live.com) using VLC and it works great. Although it needs to use VLC to actually playback the stream. Mplayer is _supposed_ to support playing rtsp streams, (and a Poster - Andreas Lorensen) mentioned that he can do it under freevo using mplayer.), but for my case, playing the streams under mplayer, it will start to jerk after 5-10 seconds and then it complains about dropped frames.

Please explain what this is and where I can find this chunk file. (I searched through mplayer's manual page and it only gave me refs to audio density and verbosity) I think the there are the following requirements, * A VLC (running as a client) plugin for TV input * A remote interface so the play/pause/rewind/fast forward buttons work on tv Arg. The client is only used for watching and you send play/pause over the network. I hope they are using RTSP. Or is it your idea. If so: don't! Timeshifting should be handled in the client, not the streaming server. VLC server running VOD is the current setup. I've not tried embedding / asking freevo to open up vlc.

[Freevo-users] Running Freevo automatically as NON-Root
Hi All, currently this machine (EPIA-M10K) is being used as a standalone box running Freevo on Gentoo. I've made it such that /etc/init.d/local will start freevo during bootup, as in the settings below. Now, I noticed that it's running as root and I don't quite like that. I need some pointers on how to get Freevo to auto-downgrade itself to a normal user. Can it be done? I most certainly think it could, only question is, can someone teach me how? # no: don't start Freevo # yes:start Freevo on startup. You should only use this when the # computer is for Freevo only or you use Freevo with a DXR3 # daemon: start Freevo in daemon mode. The daemon will wait for you to # press QUIT or POWER on your remote and will than start # Freevo. After Freevo shut down, the daemon will wait again. # # You don't need a X server running to start Freevo from init. If # needed, Freevo will start a X server on its own.

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??
