I saw the message recently from Pascal, which was good timing: I had forgotten if Freevo could even do it (and how to set it up). I'm coming to terms with the fact I'll be running Freevo to record video input from the cable box and while that is better than nothing, it's a shame I won't be able to watch one thing (live) while recording another.

On the contrary, I bougth a commandir toy (coming in Europe with 4 irblaster, the delivery depends on the shopping area, no idea why...). That thing is amazing ! It works really out of the box, don't need any kernel module (just download/compile lircd and start with the commandir driver). I learned (mostly for fun) some IR I had at home, and I can use it from Linux very easily. In freevo, I had to adapt a little bit the script, but there is no need of big pythonic knowledge : the script is straighforward, and basically, you just have to change one or two lines to create the correct line argument to irsend. I only encounter a small trouble (well, not so small !) The IRCommand toy seems to be a little hungry, and I had to add a powered USB Hub to have it to work (according to http://www.commandir.com, this is a known trouble of motherboard with an NVidia chipset) Pascal -- Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
[Freevo-users] freevo pvr questions...
Hi,
I'm changing parts of my configuration (it seems that I'm not able to
have a stable HTPC !), and I have an information and a question :
The information (maybe a well known secret :-) )
I never was able to use the ivtv_xine plugin if my PVR card was not
linked to /dev/video0.
Finally having a look in the source code of xine-lib, is it true that
/dev/video0 is an hardcoded default value, but a solution exists. If the
config file (I did the test with ~/.xine/config, but I believe that a
general file also exists) contains the next line, then the pvr:// mode
use the selected /dev/video device, instead of /dev/video0 :
# device used for WinTV-PVR 250/350 (pvr plugin)
# string, default: /dev/video0
media.wintv_pvr.device:/dev/video2
The question :
(I didn't dig very far, for now, so the answer could be obvious)
I'm trying to use an external tuner. I created my own, derived from
irsend_generic (because at the moment, I use my TV as tuner, and to
select a two numbers channel, my TV need some magic tips). This is
working great ... when watching video. If I try to record a show, the
channel simply doesn't change, without any error messages.
In the recordserver-{UID}.log, I can see that the plugins was selected.
But no channels change. The record is OK.
Here are the (hopefully) relevant informations from local_conf.py :
plugin.remove('tv.generic_record')
plugin_record = plugin.activate('tv.ivtv_record')
plugin.remove('tv.mplayer')
plugin.activate('tv.ivtv_xine_tv')
TV_VIDEO_GROUPS = [
VideoGroup(vdev='/dev/video2',
adev=None,
input_type='composite',
input_num=1,
tuner_norm='SECAM_L',
tuner_type='external',
desc='Hauppauge PVR USB 2',
group_type='ivtv')
]
# plugin for ir blasting for channel change
plugin_external_tuner = plugin.activate('tv.irsend_generic2',
args=('/usr/bin/irsend --count=5 SEND_ONCE RM-883'))

[Freevo-users] Rebuilding again my freevobox...
Hi, As usual (!), I'm (trying to) rebuild(ing) my freevobox. The trouble with my current freevobox is the temp : Outside tv TV closet, everything is OK, but at the normal place (at least in my wife feeling), the system receives simply not enough fresh air. The trouble is greatly related to the PVR-150 card, witch is a good heat generator ! So I'm trying to use an USB capture device. I don't need a TV tuner, as the box need to record also TV show from the cable decoder, so I can (and will probably) forget the tuner part, and better use an IR blaster to drive the decoder. For the IR Blaster, I think to use this one, recommended on mythtv wiki : http://www.commandir.com/content/view/19/31/ But I'm not able to find a non expansive video encoder, supported by Linux. I am pretty sure thet the Hauppauge PVR USB2 device would do the trick, but this one is not exactly non expensive ! At this time, I'm still searching an SD solution, our living room TV -and calbe decoder- is still a CRT model, but if a solution can be 'HD ready', it could be interresting. Also, the power is here to to a software encoding, but if I can havez a decent hardware encoding, I could also slow down the processor. What do you use, or know ?

[Freevo-users] freevo, Hauppauge PVR and a DVB Stick are on the same ship :-)
Hi, I finally add a DVB USB stick on my (very gifted ;-) ) freevo box. I must say that adding this stick was fairly easy (I just had a trouble obtaining a good channels.conf file, but that's out of topic). But after adding the correct entries in TV_VIDEO_GROUPS and TV_CHANNELS, I started freevo, and the ivtv_xine_tv plugins complains about my dvb group. So I went back to the generic tv player and I can watch analog and digital TV broadcast (I still have a trouble recording, but I think I could deal with that. But I lost all new toys, like live pause and so on. And I think that the dvb livepause (livepause2) plugin give this kind of option for digital TV, like ivtv_xine_tv does for analog TV. Funniest part is that in the two cases, a TV broadcast is for freevo a MPEG flow (more or less) So I believe one plugin could do the trick for the two cases. Right now, is there a solution ?

I would expect something like this: - CH1|no data | prog1 | prog2 | - CH2|prog 1 | prog2 |prog3| no info - I'm not 100% sure that this is what freevo does and changing it will give you a bit of a headache, it's not the simplest code in freevo :-) Hi Duncan, I did some research about this part ... and I completely follow you, that's too much for me :-) No, the part I just change (I'll send that tomorrow, I think will try some cleanup before) is not here, but in channels.py. The changes are : In the current channels.cfg, if you ask for a physical channel with more than one entry, channels.py give you always the latest line in TV_CHANNELS. I didn't notice that at the beginning, because I mostly watch TV in the evening :-) This has a major drawback : Even if you schedule a record from the former line, the title of the recorded show is the title of the program from the latest tv_show. In fact, I wonder if the time schedule (the third field -that is, starting from 0, the field [3]- in TV_CHANNELS) is in use somewhere ? I wasn't able to find any use in the code (did some brutal grep for that, maybe not the best way !). Others troubles are maybe only related to the ivtv_xine_tv plugins, but were all corrected also in channels.cfg. It was not possible to 'chan_down' a channel with more than one line in TV_CHANNELS. The system selects the same channel ever and ever. It was very hard to use the 'direct channel' selection. Saying I want to show MTV, witch is on channel 18 on all TV at home, I have to remember that before MTV, I have 3 channels with two lines, so I have to select 21 These points are corrected (at least for me) anyone willing to correct the display part for the program :-) ? But anyway, I would know if this is a 'general' problem or if I'm (nearly) alone with that kind of trouble.

[Freevo-users] some performances troubles with ivtvfb
Hi, I believe that this question is not really freevo oriented, but I hope that some people here have a configuration like mine. I have now a decent Linux Box : P4C 2,4 GHz (Hyper threaded, I think I read something about that), 2 Gb ram, fast hard drive, a GeForce 6600 GT video board. The Linux Distro is Mandriva 2009 , with a 2.6.27 kernel. So the ivtv and ivtvfb drivers are the kernel version. In that fabulous system, I have a Hauppauge PVR-350 card. Near my computer is a TV (a plain old CRT TV ;-) ) My plan is to have freevo running on the tv (using the PVR-350 out through the ivtvfb driver) and simultaneously an X server on the 'Main' screen of the computer. It is nearly working but I have considerable performance issue when I watch a Video on freevo. I also did tests like : mplayer -vo fbdev:/dev/fb1 my_test.avi Running without any option, the system use nearly 200 % CPU (according to top ;-) ) and the video run at 3 picture / second, approximatively. (Sound is at native speed, not very helpful !) I did differents tests, trying to load ivtvfb with some options, but I didn't notice any changes. BTW, I didn't find the correct way to tell freevo to use the fbdev driver directly, specifying /dev/fb1 as output, so I did my freevo test under X. But as the ressource trouble also exists without freevo...

I'm even a bit surprised that this has worked in the past. Setting generic secam is a bad thing to do as there is really no such thing. In practice you have SECAM-BG, SECAM-DK and SECAM-L. And it is basically undefined what will happen if you just set SECAM. Regards, Hans -- Seeing the number of files owned by Hans in the ivtv project, I suppose that this can be seen as an authoritative answer.

[Freevo-users] kernel 2.6.27 and Hauppauge PVR 350 card : some troubles
Hi, freevo 1.8 svn, on a brand new Linux (Mandriva 2009) installation, but on a 'working yesterday' harware : I had some troubles to install every needed dependency, the 2.6.27 kernel is a little young. For example, I had to install a cvs version of lirc, the lirc 'official' doesn't compile on kernel above 2.6.25. So far so good, my freevo installation is nearly working. But I encounter a strange trouble while watching or recording TV. I'm in France, so most program are in SECAM, I don't know if this has something to do with my trouble. The trouble is : in some case, I have no sound when watching TV. It seems (not done each and every tests) that I have sound only if the source channel is delivered in stereo. It's not a frequency trouble : On one channel, the program is 'time spitted between two senders. One sender send in stereo : I have the sound and the other in mono : no sound. This is probalby not a freevo trouble, and I'll try to find answer on other souces, but if someone have ideas or test suggestion :-) Thanks, Pascal - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users

John Molohan a écrit : For my mceusb remote I just had to urpmi dkms-lirc-0.8.3, not sure what remote you're using but that may be an easier approach. Thanks John, alltough I allready used dkms drivers, I didn't really search out what kind of (mice) thing this is ! So I just did a little google, and for sure, the dkms version is better for a remote needing a kernel dependant mode, like the hauppauge remote ! So I just installed the dkms version of lirc, and great : this version includes the lirc_i2c module :-) One less step at the next kernel update... There certainly were some problems in the ivtv driver with stereo detection (not sure what versions are affected or if it's fully fixed but when I came across it it was 12 or 18 months ago). I've got PAL and haven't noticed any problems yet but have not had much time to test, a look at the ivtv mailing lists might throw up some info. Yes, I read some audio troubles with the ivtv module, but not exactly something like the trouble I encounter. But my latest tests let me think that I have only audio when I receive a NICAM signal (SECAM wasn't able to carry a stareo signal : the sound modulation is in AM so when Stereo was to add, a new system was build, with a numeric stereo signal put in some invisible line of the picture. In other words, I can receive sound from the picture !) If a do some diff with the main freevo system here (kernel 2.6.24), I see that v4l2-ctl -T set the sound to lang1 on the working system and let the sound to stereo on the muted system.

[Freevo-users] Sound saturated on a PVR-350 card
Hi, I have a new trouble, and this trouble is probably not freevo related (at least not directly). I have a Hauppauge PVR-350 card as analog TV tuner, and on around half channels, the TV audio signal seems to be a little too strong, so the sound is saturated. If I change a little the frequency of the channel, the picture is a little bit badder, but I can listen to the sound. I suspect that this is related to my cable operator, but is it possible to change something on the audio part of the card ? BTW, in the TV_IVTV_OPTIONS, there is a 'audio_bitmask' field, but even reading the tv/ivtv.py didn't help me much about the use of this field.

Re: [Freevo-users] Numeric channel change crashes freevo
Evan Hisey a écrit : Upgrading to 1.8.2 almost works, I am using the ivtv_xine_tv plugin and when I attempt to chagne channels by numbers freevo either crashes or fails to change channels. When using the channel buttons, freevo registers the changes but the tuner does not actually change channels. On the other hand, if I always go back to the TV guide to change channels then it works. Nothing is really jumping out in the logs for me. Need a pointer or two on hunting this one down. Hi, I did have the same problem with the svn version. Solved by updating xine-ui to the version 0.99.6 (only available ? in cvs) It worth the work : add the live record funct, very good for the WAF (at least at home !)

Re: [Freevo-users] Question about the new ivtv_xine plugin
Sorry for this late answer, but I really tried long to set my freevo box to work again as non root :-( It's really a pity to have to run freevo as root, I have the feeling to have a Winbox... Anyway : David Frager a écrit : I had the same problem, and as given the following suggestion. I have not had a chance to try it out yet. Under TV_IVTV_OPTIONS the three settings you're looking for are: 'bitrate' : 780, 'bitrate_peak' : 960, 'stream_type' : 10, Have a look at the ivtv driver documentation for more info. Thanks for the imput, but due to the WAF, I have to let the bitrate high :-) What version of the xine-ui are you working with? 0.99.6 You indicated that when you press record, the record starts. Does the record start at the time you press record or at the time you started watch TV? You are right, the record start at the begining at the show, not at the moment you press the record key. But I must admit that this is good for me : Most time, if I depress the record key, it's allready too late ! Currently, I am using 0.99.6 that I built from CVS several months ago. If I start watch TV and wait a period of time prior to pressing record, my VOB file ends up containing everyhing from the time I started watch TV. I did continue my tests : If I cat the files one after the other, I obtain a usable record file ... But this is way too long ! So I tried anither approach : I built a fxd file (You can see that I started from the sample on the WiKi ! ) : cat 2008-08-14_jeudi_19-05_Une_famille_en_or.fxd ?xml version=1.0 ? freevo movie title=Une Famille en Or - Jeudi 14 Août 2008 video file id=f12008-08-14_jeudi_19-05_Une_famille_en_or_0001.vob/file file id=f22008-08-14_jeudi_19-05_Une_famille_en_or_0002.vob/file file id=f32008-08-14_jeudi_19-05_Une_famille_en_or_0003.vob/file file id=f42008-08-14_jeudi_19-05_Une_famille_en_or_0004.vob/file file id=f52008-08-14_jeudi_19-05_Une_famille_en_or_0005.vob/file file id=f62008-08-14_jeudi_19-05_Une_famille_en_or_0006.vob/file file id=f72008-08-14_jeudi_19-05_Une_famille_en_or_0007.vob/file file id=f82008-08-14_jeudi_19-05_Une_famille_en_or_0008.vob/file file id=f92008-08-14_jeudi_19-05_Une_famille_en_or_0009.vob/file file id=f102008-08-14_jeudi_19-05_Une_famille_en_or_0010.vob/file /video info rating/rating plotThe satiric adventures of a working class family in the misfit city of Springfield/plot taglineOn Your Marks, Get Set, D'Oh!/tagline year1989/year genreAnimation / Comedy/genre /info /movie /freevo This works fairly good, except that there is a time (around 1 or 2 second at each file change.

[Freevo-users] freevo 1.8.2 svn : Strange behaviour of Mplayer
Hi, On a newly rebuild freevo box, I have a strange behaviour of mplayer. I'm pretty sure that the trouble has nothing to do with freevo, but if someone has an idea... The system is built on an Athlon BR-2350 (a low power X2), 1 giga ram, one s-ata drive, chipset nvidia nforce 4 . and one Hauppauge PVR-150 card. The OS is a Mandriva 2008 spring x64 version, with a 2.6.24-7 kernel. I used to start the system in runlevel 4, with an autologin (as freevo, not root) and a freevo -fs. Everything works fine, exept that mplayer need around 11 second to start to play any video file, and during the first seconds, the movie is shoppy. If I go in runlevel 5 (KDE desktop), log in as freevo, start freevo, the movie start immediately, and with a good quality from the begionning. If I go back to reunlevel 4, the video then start immediately, as expected !!! I did a lo of logging, didn't find any relevant diff between the logs.

[Freevo-users] Question about the new ivtv_xine plugin
Hi, I finnaly managed to compile a cvs version of xine-ui, so I started to play with the new version version of the ivtv_xine plugin. So far so good, when I press the 'record' key, the record start, and at the end of the record, I find my record at the correct place ... but in a lot of chunks ! The default value of 200 Mb for each chunk is more or less 4 minutes of recording on my configuration (with a high bitrate, I know).

[Freevo-users] freevo 1.8 svn : cannot transcode anymore.
Hi,
Since ... I don't know, but not very long :-) I cannot transcode a video
any more.
I encounter at least 3 troubles :
Starting the encoding, (it can be an MPEG ivtv capture file or a DVD
tittle, the trouble is the same), the system tells me that the video was
analysed, and that the encoding started OK. But the process stops as
quickly as it started. The log is not so nice.
Here is one of the options (in one test ) :
encodingcore.py (852): Encoder Command is -ovc xvid -xvidencopts
chroma_opt:vhq=4:bvhq=1:bitrate=1200:threads=1:pass=2:autoaspect -oac

-alang fr,en -of lavf -lavfopts format=avi -sws 1
/home/media/TV_Records/2007-09-01_samedi_08-55_TFou.mpeg
if I start mencoder with this line, here is the result :

If you wish to use libavformat muxing, you must ensure that your video
stream
does not contain B frames (out of order decoding) and specify:
-lavfopts i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames
on the command line.
REMEMBER: MEncoder's libavformat muxing is presently broken and will
generate
INCORRECT files in the presence of B frames. Moreover, due to bugs MPlayer
will play these INCORRECT files as if nothing were wrong!
***
Cannot initialize muxer.
Exiting...
Adding the option -lavfopts
i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames permit to go a
little further . I think that I understand that this option in not
needed anymore in mencoder 1.0.1 rc2, but I cannot find this version for
my system (I'm running a version 1.0.1 rc1 )
Now I am stuck by a
Audio LAVC, couldn't find encoder for codec libmp3lame.
changing the -oac lavc to -oac mp3lame solves this issue : I suspect
that this is a run time compilation option ?
Latest point (but this is maybe a false positive, this would maybe work
if the two other troubles were solved ? )
If I try to encode a dvd tittle, the dvd name contains spaces, and (at
least in the log file) the name of the output file isn't quoted (But
this should work, as I see (in the destination folder) 0 sized file with
the correct name.
Do I have to compile myself mencoder to go around this trouble ? Or is
there any other ways ?
(Incidentally, if I click 'OK' fast enough after starting this poor
encoding, I obtain a freevo crash, caused by the nice new idlebar

[Freevo-users] freevo installation on a AMD 64 X2 : linux 32 bits or 64 bits ?
Hi, Just starting a brand new installation of a brand new system build on a AMD X2 64 bits processor. I installed a 64 bits version of Linux, and freevo is happy with that. But I discovered that some other code are not so 64bit ready. So the question is : Is there any interest other than the technical perf to use a x64 version of Linux for freevo ? Can I hope better perfs, smoother system, or what else ? On contrary, are there still a lot of software not compatible with a x64 version ? At this time, I hang on flash player (and this seems to be a real issue), and also, it seems that my trouble to use the VFD display of my system could also be related to the fact that the code is not 64 bit ready. This should probably be fairly easy to correct, as the source code is only a few pages long, but as I speak c not better than Chinese, I cannot be the correcter :-| Thanks, Pascal - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Hi,
The explanation is 4 line lower : In python (warning, I'm nearly a
python newbie !), you can write for instance that :
print the result is %s when the snow is %s, and %s when the sun is %s
% ( weather, snow_state, weather2, sun_rise )
So, in the program, the first %s is replaced by
Unicode(title.replace(', \\'))

Anyway, I give you the 'work in progress' (I'm not sure about the progress tonight...) fileinfo.rpy is the most advanced version, with most of the script in vlc.script fileinfo.rpy is another version with a lot of scripts in the 'main page', to mimic as much as possible the damienf sample page test.html is a copy of damienf page, modified to use the library in a sub named vlc_ext finally, vlc_ext contains the four blueshoes scripts, vlc.script (an external copy of the initially internals scripts) and the 4 needed pictures. test.html work fine on my system, excepted when I try to move the cursor with an http link (like the link really used in freevo) fileinfo.rpy works, except the slider, who doesn't appear at all ! and the counter. I think that this as to do with the simple quote/double quote : I had to convert each single quote to double quote to be able to load the page from the javascript script. BTW, another question, if a javascript expert is with us : When loading the page with the VLC plugin, it seems that the server doesn't send the appropriate value tu the HTTP browser, to tell him that the page is complete. So the browser still wait for an hypothetical end of transmission. This is also true in the original version. Do you know an easy way to stop that ? (Not related to the other trouble).

Reading your answer, I did a little further (strange how fast I can forget the reason of a configuration step, as soon as this works :-) In fact, in this case, this is the Composite entry. So I don't need the tuner. I tried in my TV_VIDEO_GROUP to set tuner_type='external' an to remove the channel value. This doesn't work, the system tell me that it cannot found the channel '' in the conf. So i put back 21 as channel number (that was the value, I don't remember why) and tried again. This time, no error message, but probably because I set tuner_type as external, the input stays on SECAM (SECAM is my default value) So, I went back to remove the tuner type, let the channel number to 21 and I can select (directly from freevo, not moving from preset to preset with the 'C' and 'V' keys) my composite entry in PAL. I suppose I'm one of the first trying to actually use different standards on this king of card. I remember some months ago a guy living in Russia with such kind of trouble, but don't remember the kind of TV card. For your initial question, it seems that the Current Standard information is displayed before freevo actually set it, because I just tested, I started on my composite entry, the message is the same 0xff and the input is actually set on PAL Still diving, Pascal - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Unfortunately, I don't find a stable solution, still trying. Then you will know if it is working under Linux, I'm pretty sure that it is but it is not something I can test as I only have PAL. I'm also sure that, after my changes, you should be able to do this without using external scripts. I think that I need to find an explanation about my non working PAL Antenna channel, but still, now I can select a PAL or a SECAM input in the TV Menu.

Re: [Freevo-users] A
Duncan Webb a écrit : Sleeping on this it won't do quite what you wanted, as it doesn't change the TV standard. Today, I've done a big commit in rel-1 branch at r10025 that may do what you want. The change was: * to add some stuff into v4l2 to allow the inputs and the standards to be enumerated when the video device was opened. * set the input and standard from the video group when the channel is set. * the input is selected by *name* and not by number, so they must be correct. It will print out the available options if not correct. It is a bit of a risky change as it hits all of the TV and recording stuff and changes the definition of video groups a bit. From only one video group per tuner to one per input. If you see what I mean. I've been testing it and it seems fine on my set-up. This change has *only* been done on rel-1 branch and *not* rel-1-7 branch. I'll wait for some feedback before adding it to rel-1-7. Duncan Thanks Duncan for your work ! So a quick report : If I start on a SECAM channel, the system is in SECAM. If I start on a PAL channel, the system starts in PAL 'yepee' ! But : - Using the composite entry in PAL works fine. Using a Antenna channel in PAL doesn't work better as my latest tests with v4l2-ctl : big snow storm on screen - If I'm watching a PAL program and try to select a SECAM program (using the C and V keys) this doesn't work too. I did see that also trough v4l2-ctl : if the picture flow is running, the card doesn't accept any standard changes. I forget to say, yesterday : on the system I currently test, I have also a windows XP partition (nobody's perfect ;-) ) I did test yesterday the PVR-150 card on XP. The configuration was a little hard, but this card definitively works in this configuration : 21 TV SECAM Channels, 2 TV PAL Channels and one Composite PAL Channel. But when I go from a SECAM channel to a PAL channel (or reverse), the picture seems to stop a very short time. Thanks again, Pascal - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Freevo-users] A
Hi, I'm using a PVR-150 card as input on my freevobox, and encounter a trouble when shifting from SECAM to PAL. Until now, it didn't bother me so much, but now that the ivtv_xine plugin starts to deal with the TV_VIDEO_GROUP, I really would like to use that functionality. So here is the trouble : I basically receive via the cable operator 23 tv channels. 21 are in SECAM, and 2 in PAL. I also receive via my ADSL box a bunch of TV programs, all in PAL. These programs come in via the composite input of the PVR-150 card. The best results I have so far : Setting the default standard as secam, I can receive the 21 SECAM channels. If I want to watch one of the ADSL program, I stop freevo (ouch), send the following command : v4l2-ctl --set-standard=pal --set-input=2 then xine --stdctl pwr:///home2/media/tmp/xine-buf- So, everything is ok (At least, until the standard change is incorporated in ivtv_xine_tv.py) If I try to watch one of the pal antenna program, hoverer, I'm not able to do something relevant. For instance, I start via freevo to watch a PAL program. Since Freevo doesn't select pal, I can watch my program, but in a very nice kind of purple... I then stop freevo, do my v4l2-ctl --set-standard=pal and then launch xine, I have the sound (not good) but only a snow storm as picture. Do you have any idea of the reason ? I suspect that in this case, I have something else to do to setup the tuner, but didn't find anything relevant. BTW, my system is running Mandriva 2008, with a 2.6.22-9 kernel, the embedded drivers for the PVR card and the 1.0.3 set of ivtv tools. Thanks, Pascal - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Freevo-users] hauppauge MVP, and Hauppauge pvr-350
Hi, This question is not directly related to freevo, but as I can often read very nice hardware hints here... I had the feeling that I just discovered a wonderful WAF system : the Hauppauge MVP. This very small, nice and silent box is a micro Linux system with an embedded MPEG 2 decoder. The idea is to use this box connected to a TV, and accessing trough the network to movies/music/pictures on another host. I had the feeling that this could easily be an extension the the freevobox (witch lives in the living room, the MVP box should live in the 'sleeping room'). (link to the product description : http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/prods_mvp.html ) I did some very interesting tests, the result is great with mpeg 2 records, especially with records made with one of my hauppauge PVR cards. Unfortunately, this small box doesn't understand any DIVX/XVID/MPEG4 format. So some very talented people created a new linux boot image, who basically can drive a vlc instance running on the freevo box. This vlc instance convert anything in MPEG2 format, and everything goes well if the frevvo server is strong enough ! (One of the alternative Linux boot image for mvp : http://www.mvpmc.org/ ) My poor athlon box don't have the needed power to do a smoothless conversion on the fly :-( To be sure of the problem, I had to test with a strong computer (my Vista Laptop, with a Knoppix Live Linux CD). So I came on another idea : owning hauppauge PVR card, would it be possible to use this card to do an hardware conversion to Mpeg2 format ? Especially (maybe a mad idea :-) ), I'm watching the output of my freevobox trough the TV out of my PVR-350 card. Could it be possible to capture this output back (no idea how to do that) and send the flow to the MVP box ? This would create a 'clone' of the master output, and then, I 'just' would have to send back to the master system the output of the remote (this seems lot easier ;-) ) Thanks for reading until here, Pascal - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

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 :-)

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.

It seems (as far as I see) that the trouble is specific to the Recorded

By the way, doing these tests, I found another bug :
In the main interface, if a video file does have a companion fxd file,
then the length of the movie is (for example): (11-18 19:40) None min
Removing the FXD file, the play time is 39 min
More exactly, this does only arrive if the fxd file contains a
runtimeNone/runtime section, witch seems to be the case for recorded
TV show. I also did a fresh record, and runtime is still to None.
I think that this one is very new.

still sometimes this trouble out of the Recorded TV dir), this is
definitively when the filename includes some utf-8 chars.
I had some movies for witch I only obtain a 'Fetching file information'
Box (instead of the file description box).
After some research, it was movies with some informations downloaded
from the IMDB database. It he .fxd file were some carriage return (or ^M
or \r or \x0d, whatever you prefer). Removing the CR does the trick.
finally (i think !) I'm not able to obtain information from imdb. When I
try to fetch in formation, if imdb can find a descriptor for the movie,
the log tell me that something is coming, but freevo freeze on
'retrieving informations'.
I did the test as such :
touch Amelie Poulain.avi
touch Rocky 5.avi
And then, from the freevo main interface, I ask for a IMDB information.
(If there is more than one information, for example titanic.avi, then
freevo tell me that there is nothing at all.)
I wish you all very good things for the coming year,

What I just found out : In the Tv_program page, if I choose a category for program filtering, the web server crash. It's a new problem. I've submitted a patch to fix this. Patch seems to be OK, at least I didn't encounter any more crash. If I select a category, nothing is printed, but I don't know if I have category in ma tv.xml file !

harri a écrit : Not all of it is yet in svn, sitecustomize.py is not in 8812, which may be the reason for your problems below. Thanks a lot, Harry, I just installed the svn version 8832 (But I'm pretty sure that I had a sitecustomize.py file before ?) I also did a freevo cache --rebuild with all freevo services stopped (by the way, it's very common on my system that freevo webserver stop doesn't actually stop the webserver. In fact, a kill is not enough, I must do a kill -2). What is better : The message Désolé, ce programme n'a pas de description is now correctly printed. Also, its now possible to do a manual record a 31 ! What didn't change : The message 'no such resource' is still here.

Just installed the release 8812 on my two TV box. (The living room one, and the cellar one ;-) ) The Living room is running Mandriva 2007 installed in Unicode mode. Result : the Web server is up and running (Yes !!!) Accents are good except (as far as I see) in the message Désolé, ce programme n'a pas de description (More or less : Sorry, no description available for this program). I'll look further. But when I select a video or audio file and click 'play' a new pop-up appears, saying : No such resource File not found Here is the URL : http://tvbox:8080/home/media/cache/link_cache/_home_media_movies_Jeunesse_Chicken_Little.avi Also, there are no link in the file in the Record_TV dir ? And finally, a known and old bug is still here : In the Manual record panel, it's not possible to set a start on end day to 31 :-) On my second box, (Mandriva 2007, but unicode charset non installed ! ) the web server crash on the very first attempt, because it cannot decode décembre (written in iso-8859-1(5) ) I hope that this report can be useful, don't hesitate to ask if you need other informations (i wish so much be able to deal in the code...)

Re: [Freevo-users] freevo 1.7 rc1 : trouble with the encoding server
Duncan Webb a écrit : My highest priority is to make sure that there is a minimum of outstanding bugs and perhaps prepare a release or two :) Ok, that's good for me. I just find another 'tip' and have another question. The 'tip' : I use to store the recorded media by date. If I encode a movie after a while, this movie is on the bottom of the list. It seems that the order is made on the creation date of the file. I tried to 'touch' the video file (touch -r video.mpeg video.avi ) but unfortunately, this change the modification time, not the creation time. not so annoying, more an information. Also, do you plan to add that amazing reencode funct in the webserver (I know, the web server is actually broken -at least for our French, as December is told here 'décembre', and that's enough to stop the webserver :-) ) The idea behind : Until now, freevo can be drived remotely (sometimes very remotely) via the web panel. But if the hard drive is full, the freevo box become a little useless... Maybe only for the wish list, I could understand ! Duncan Thanks, -- Pascal Schirrmann - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Freevo-users] freevo 1.7 rc1 : trouble with the encoding server
Duncan Webb a écrit : encodingcore reencode and dvdbackup :D Duncan Great ! Great ! GREAT ! I installed the svn version (was a little funny :-) ) and now, the encoding server is running nicely ! I just try to start two encoding, and the log file is nice, telling that the second job is enqued :- ) Did I telll ?? GREAT !!! Just two questions : 1) The original file is not deleted, thus, instead of gaining place,I lost a little ;-) It does make sense, as this encoding is 'hand made', so we can think that someone could wish to have a look at the output before removing the original file. Is it 'by design' or only a 'rc feature' ? 2) The avi file was nicely created in the same directory as the original file. Unfortunately, the fxd file was not updated, nor was a new fxd file created. Again, 'by design' (I hope not) or 'rc feature' ? Again, many thanks for all this work :-) -- Pascal Schirrmann - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
