Re: [Freevo-devel] zsnes won't load a file from command line

[Michael Ruelle]

Yes it is broken. Just found out when i upgraded during my latest
portage sync. I found a patch in the gentoo forums to get it to work.

use this ridiculous patch at your own risk.

patch it to zsnes-1.36/src/linunx/zloaderw.c

Recordserver: broken, Rob is on it.
Recordserver is semi-working now (at least for IVTV) and I have some 
more code to check in to make it better.  Fixing the generic_record.py 
plugin will be next.


Webserver: don't know, I guess it's also broken, let's wait until Rob
updated the recordserver. 
I've been updating the webserver thoughout all the recent changes and 
it's been working fine for me.  I've been away since Thursday so I'll 
take a look at it later this evening to make sure all is ok.


And last but not least: we need more output devices. Since we are not
independed from pygame, we don't need sdl hacks for the dxr3
anymore. The mevas interface gives you an imlib2 image, maybe someone
can write an output plugin for that. Most the work is coding in C. If
you want to help with any output plugin, please conatct me or Jason
(in IRC he has the nickname Tack). We need the following output
plugins: 

- xine: xine has an internal image to display above the video. We need
  a simple plugin to get our display image to xine.
- dxr3: maybe an interface to render the image to mpeg and display it
  on the dxr3
- dvb: the same as dxr3 for full featured dvb cards
AFAIK dxr3 and dvb both have real OSD interfaces as well as MPEG so 
converting frames to MPEG may not be neccessary.  Either output would 
make a fun project! (for someone with time and motivation for either).

- mga: a mga_vid.o interface would also be very cool.
Good idea.

- fb: basic framebuffer support without pygame
- imlib2: the imlib2 output support needs some code to handle X events
  to redraw and to handle pressed keys. This requires hacking some
  basic X stuff in pyimlib2/display.c
- directfb: glue between pydfb and mevas.
I am half into starting a directfb/pydfb mevas canvas.  Maybe we'll see 
some results this week. :)

I have some. You can look at the ifoparser in mmpython. Or ask Jason,
he has experience in this with pyimlib2 and also knows imlib2 what you
will need to display.

How to loyout the content? The old layoutmager? Or a new one with a
different logic? Either way, the old one is not working because now
the objects are CanvasObjects from mevas and the layoutmager needs to
be fixed. Anyone?

Because it's only a quick port from the old area code to the mevas
support. Right now it redraws everything on every event. That's bad,
but it's also a nice test to see Jasons speed up ideas for mevas when
he's done.

Right now, it is two style. You see the guide and press ENTER to go
into channel view. But still, I need more examples how you want to
look it like. What should it do and what keypress? Fire up gimp and
give me ideas.

Rob and I broke the channel design. The webserver itself may be
working, but I don't know about the epg. All tv/egp* files are gone
now so this may be a problem.

Cool! Even people withot programming skills, send pics!
