Re: [Freevo-users] (HELP!) pygame.error: No available video device
thanks rob! i feel pretty dumb - it was the display variable (i was trying from ssh login). i couldnt pass --display=localhost:0.0 or -display=localhost:0.0, which would be nice (like other x apps) but i could export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 and it runs! (well missing fonts but easily fixed) i run all my other X apps from remote login (with --display), i dont know why i thought freevo was different :P (i probably should stop geeking out so early in the morning b4 ample coffee intake! :P ) thanks again, Roh. rob wrote: You are running this from inside of X right? Is it a local display? Can you run other X apps from the same prompt, like xclock? Pygame is the basis for Freevo, not the games plugin or anything like that. It is basicly the python interface to libSDL, which lets us display stuff to the screen. ;) -Rob Roh . wrote: hey rob thanks for trying but im still 'freevo-less' :( i changed display in freevo.conf to x11, and exported SDL_VIDEODRIVER, [EMAIL PROTECTED] freevo-1.3.2]# set | grep "SDL" SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 [EMAIL PROTECTED] freevo-1.3.2]# ./freevo Logging info in /var/log/freevo/internal-main-0.log --- Starting src/main.py:stdin at Fri Jul 25 04:54:45 2003 Logging info in /var/log/freevo/internal-main-0.log --- Starting src/main.py:stderr at Fri Jul 25 04:54:45 2003 Loading configure settings: /opt/freevo-1.3.2/freevo.conf Reading config file /opt/freevo-1.3.2/freevo.conf Cfg file data: "chanlist = australia" Cfg file data: "display = x11" Cfg file data: "geometry = 640x480" Cfg file data: "jpegtran = ./runtime/apps/jpegtran" Cfg file data: "mplayer = ./runtime/apps/mplayer/mplayer" Cfg file data: "tv = pal" Cfg file data: "tvtime = ./runtime/apps/tvtime/tvtime" Cfg file data: "version = 2.0" Loading cfg: ./freevo_config.py Using MPlayer: ./runtime/apps/mplayer/mplayer Loading cfg overrides: /opt/freevo-1.3.2/local_conf.py ROM_DRIVES: Auto-detected and added "('/mnt/cdrom', '/dev/cdrom', 'CD-1')" WARNING: DVD protection override disabled!
