Re: [Freevo-users] Can't install Freevo 1.8.1 on FC 7 - Solved

2008-08-07 Thread Russell Turner
The problem Fedora Core installation problemwas solved by using the Fedora
repository for twisted rather than the source code at the twisted web site:

yum install python-twisted

  I have successfully installed prior versions of Freevo, but am struggling
with a fresh install of 1.8.1 on Fedora Core 7:

I tried the repository approach with kwizart, but the links to kwizart are
not working. Attempts to access the fedora URLs are redirected to the
kwizart home page.

I tried the manual install, but ran into trouble with twisted. After
installing the latest twisted source, the Freevo install tells me :checking
for twisted.web.microdom... not found

Looking in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages//twisted/web I see the
microdom.py and .pyc files.

I tried installing twisted.web separately, but with the same negative
result.

What am I doing wrong? Redirection on either installation approach would be
greatly appreciated

Re: [Freevo-users] Pre launch feedback for new look freevo.org

2007-08-09 Thread Russell Baldwin
Mmmm... it's a cleaner look but is still using tables for design?  
Also it does not seem to validate and is not particularly accessible,  
but I guess this is a beta? It could also do with a bit more excitement.

As a side note, having spent ages trying to get Freevo to work on my  
PPC iMac, I think informational organisation and quality content is  
perhaps as least as important as a redesign?

Re: [Freevo-users] Mac OS X 10.4 PPC crash at start-up: procstats instance has no attribute 'currentCpu'

2007-08-03 Thread Russell Baldwin
Hi Duncan, thanks very much for the advice. I managed to stop the  
crashing by using a blanked out config and then just tentatively re- 
applying various elements. I have replied more fully in my reply to  
Evan.

I still get some errors at startup but no crash
Couldn't open mixer /dev/mixer
plugin mixer deactivated, reason: unknown
even though it all seems commented out.

Anyway I tried your suggestions but got errors, although

\plugin.remove('idlebar.cdstatus')
e.g. without the .level=20 bit seems to work

However, all these were commented out in my config, yet I still got  
time and disk usage display at the top of the screen. I can remove  
them with the above settings - but hey they work - although the disk  
space seems a bit wrong. It is showing 6901GB - my hard disk is  
372.49GB, available 222.27 - used 150.21 - seems like some sort of  
problem here, but heh the clock is right!

Best regards,
Russ

 Have you a plugin.activate('idlebar.system') in you local_conf.py?  
 If so
 comment it out. Could be called idlebar.system.procstats.

 If not add these lines to local_conf.py
 plugin.remove('idlebar.tv', level=20)
 plugin.remove('idlebar.cdstatus', level=25)
 plugin.remove('idlebar.diskfree', level=30)
 plugin.remove('idlebar.clock', level=50)
 plugin.remove('idlebar')


 They disable the idlebar.

Re: [Freevo-users] Mac OS X 10.4 PPC crash at start-up: procstats instance has no attribute 'currentCpu'

2007-08-03 Thread Russell Baldwin
Evan, thank you very much for your help and advice and my apologies  
for my delay in replying, summer holidays and a thirteen year old son  
to entertain = no computer access for me - he's trying to get to  
level 40 in World of Warcraft!

I managed to stop the crashing by using a blanked out config and then  
just tentatively re-applying various elements. I really only want  
FLAC replay to work at present although the rest would be nice as I  
do have a spare Elgato USB TV card... So it would appear to work on  
the Mac PPC - hurrah, I still have a few niggles however.

1. Still getting errors on start up...
a. Couldn't open mixer /dev/mixer
plugin mixer deactivated, reason: unknown
Even though all references appear to be disabled?

b. Error: VIDEO_SHOW_DATA_DIR not found
I don't think anything for this is enabled?

c. WARNING: PyLirc not found, lirc remote control disabled!
  I guess this is fine, although I would like to get the remote  
working at some point.

2. Problems in use.
a. Menu seems not to have a proper highlight - the background image  
seems to corrupt to the right of the menu selection - so you can sill  
navigate ... just.

b. No album images. I've amended the config to look for my album  
covers - Folder.jpg files but am getting
error caching image /Users/Shared/Music/Alison Krauss/A Hundred  
Miles Or More~A Collection/Folder.jpg
caching image: no loader for file format
error caching image /Users/Shared/Music/Alison Krauss/A Hundred Miles  
Or More~A Collection/Folder.jpg

Traceback (most recent call last):

python2.5/site-packages/freevo/osd.py, line 652, in loadbitmap

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is unsubscriptable 

In particular the thumb bit seems to be wrong - thumb:///Users/ 
Sh... I only have one iage for album covers.

c.  Only some FLAC files seem to play. I think this is mPlayer as  
when i tried to play it with my desktop mPlayer I had the same  
problems. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Would it be possible to  
use VLC? Everything else I have plays these FLAC files fine. I will  
try and contact the mPlayer people with the errors. I can post here  
if required.

d. When shut down from the menu - it still leaves Python running -  
which I can shut with a CTRL C in a terminal - or shut the  
transparent python in my dock. Is this how it is supposed to work?

Many thanks,

Russ

 Russell-
For the record the MacOSX port/install is still really
 experimental. This means that very few people use it so any bugs you
 encounter are likely to have been unseen by any one else. That said, I
 would recommend first disabling the mixer plugin in the local_config
 file. According to the Wiki volume control does not yet work under
 freevo yet anway.


 Mac OS X 10.4 PPC crash at start-up: procstats instance has no
 attribute 'currentCpu'
  I am also not sure if freevo will actually work on ppc chip.


 WARNING: PyLirc not found, lirc remote control disabled!
 You can ignore this warning. It just means that you will not have the
 LIRC support.


 Couldn't open mixer /dev/mixer

 The plugin neither called __init__ nor set a reason why
 Please contact the plugin author or the freevo list
 Crash!
 This the killer. It looks the mixer plugin is just barfing when it can
 not find the /dev/mixer. As mentioned above, start by disabling the
 mixer plugin and see if it will actually start.
