Mbus sounds great to communicate with external helper, but it seems a little bit inefficient to spread all kind of events to OSD or from critical helpers such as mplayer. But i don't know, some benchmarking should speak for itself. Yes, it is a bad example. I was thinking about the bad hacked remote gui for Freevo. But I guess we won't need that anymore. Or does anyone use this? For the Event() stuff, yes, it also makes no sense because the app doesn't know the context Freevo is it. It should only demonstrate that apps can display a message.

The ControlBar plugins again grabs focus if they are shown, and the user can browse through different choices. Each choice is bound to a handler which is run when the user presses INPUT_ENTER. Is this an acceptable approach? Any more uses for this than the detached player? Better ideas? Screenshot: - http://foo.katatonic.org/freevo/detached_control.jpg Sweet, that is a very good idea. Maybe we can also use this stuff for other inputs. Aubin once wanted a small bar showing options in the image viewer (rotate, start/stop slideshow...). This looks like a very cool features for other parts of Freevo. You could register/unregister a control in eventhandler.py and a button toggles these by doing: 1) show it (set visible in the CanvasContainer) 2) set self.context to it And toggle should toggle through all registered controls and than back to the normal, the focused app. Maybe toggle is intelligent: if a used used a control, the next toggle will go back to no controls. PS! It's not quite finished yet, but it's basicly working. Again: _very_ cool Dischi -- Love is Hate. War is Peace.

There are many pro's and con's of an integrated webserver vs. a separate one. Probably this has been discussed before? Aspects would be: Security, ease of installation, runtime efficiency(?) ATM I can come up with slightly more advantages than disadvantages of the Apache-way. (Apache/PHP are well-maintained, security-supervised, but also more likely to be attacked. It can be started by inetd, so memory requirements / startup time are no arguments. Many people will be familiar with PHP development and can help maintain the Freevo webserver. Installation is not more difficult than setting up the current webserver to start at boottime.) Actually, security would be the most important point for me, since it's so convenient to be able to schedule recordings while not being at home. On the other hand, I don't know how many Freevo users actually do that.

RE: [Freevo-devel] more guide questions.
Why should it ping? automount does that for you, if the host is not alive it will unmount the mount point. Then it will periodically check for the host availability and, when alive, remount the mount point for you. Should freevo double automount's job? This is a valid point. I have no way of testing, as my automount shares are on the device I ssh from to my freevo box. So my automunts are always available when I am coding on my freevo box. Maybe someone else can test: from freevo host, ls -lah your automount dir when you know the share is not available. If there is no delay then it would be more cpu friendly if we just check if the dir exists before adding it to display. Thoughts?

[Freevo-devel] VDR integration
Hello all, i'd like to implement a better plugin to integrate Klaus Schmidingers VDR (see http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr ) as DVB component into freevo. There is already some nice work from Ove Risberg on freevo.org available. I talked also to Rob Shortt in IRC and it seems that there are some parts done by him as well. Why i write this: Lets talk about this topic in this mailingslist to to coordinate the needed efforts and get a good solution for everyone. Here is my personal wishlist: - usage of either Xine (for software mpeg decoding) or TVTime (for full featured DVB cards) to watch TV - talk to either a local or remote VDR using the SVDRP protocol - import VDR's EPG as tvguide into freevo - manage scheduled and finished recordings in freevo's gui - convert recordings to divx or other format using freevo's gui and propably the vdr-convert package. Tell me about your ideas what the vdr mode should do. Afterwards we can decide how to implement it.

Mick Autofs only mounts the dir when entered. ls -lah doesn't work in this case. Freevo only mounts the dirs when entering the movie_menu and when the timeout is set to 30 secs autofs umounts the directory's again. But entering/selecting the entry in movie_menu which was umounted after 30 secs, autofs quickly mounts the directory again. The same thing happens when one manually cd to that autofs dir. So automounts are not always available and autofs only mounts on demand. The hostname before the directory entry in local.conf.py makes sure if the host in question is up and running, when it's down there is no entry in movie_menu. I'm clueless how this hostchecking is done but it must be in the code Soenke Schwardt submitted. Personally i don't care it just works fine. ;-). /Robert --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
