Sorry, what do you mean? Which environment variables?
How do I check them? My bash environment does not contain any variables

You can't use black for the colorkey for reasons I posted last month (in
response to your popcorn commit to switch mplayer's colorkey to black).

I'm happy to sniff this one out over time ;-).  But first I need to
understand the kaa.xine a bit better.

Whats the chance of an overview of how kaa.xine works?  This would
help in two ways:
i) Sad coders like myself might have a chance at fixing things, one
area of interest is a re-write of the vdr-xine plugin (only temporary
until we've got live pause channel change on record start going).
ii) Keen coders might find it easier to do things like write other "players".

I didn't know the meaning of half these variables :-( soo sad.

But in fact, my trouble was coming from the fact that I probably one 
time started freevo as root.

So, I did like you said, but I did this change on the (newly created) 
/var/lib/freevo :

chown freevo:freevo /var/lib/freevo
chmod 6775 /var/lib/freevo

So, if all is going well, root should no more do any harm to my dir :-)

Thanks,

I tried that, it had a bad side-effect. For some reason xine is not
clearing the overlay when finished. This results in a strange image
before playback starts and it would result in seeing this image all
the time when not watching a video everywhere we use black. So when
someone finds a way to clear the overlay to black after xine is done,
I'm happy to switch overlay to black.

Black is close to black :)
 I really think black is a good color to fade to, feels very movie 
theater-ish

I just added some code and deactivated again. It fades to the
colorkey. This looks very very bad (fading to blue or green). What
would be a good default colorkey close to black?

[Freevo-devel] [ANNOUNCE] Freevo-1.7.0 Release

2007-02-25 Thread Duncan Webb 
Hi all

Today, freevo-1.7.0 has been released, there has been a great deal of activity 
since freevo-1.7.0-rc2 with still more exciting new features. The statistics 
show 145 additions, 162 changes and 40 removals, since 1.7.0-rc2, much more 
than I expected :).

First and most importantly, I know that I have said this before *BUT* a really 
big thank you to all of you who have contributed and it is thanks to these 
contributions that freevo has been moving so quickly over the last few months, 
just in case your interested the "ever growing" list is in the Docs/CREDITS.

You will also need to download the latest kaa.base-0.1.2, kaa.metadata-0.6.0 
and kaa.imlib2-0.2.0 packages from the sourceforge pages. There has been no 
significant changes to the kaa modules that affect the operation of 
freevo-1.7.0 since RC2 (Release Candidate 2).

Some of the new features that have been added since RC2
* New Music Player Daemon (mpd) plug-in
* New record server commercial detection and removal
* New record server duplicate recording detection
* New PS3 support on Yellow Dog Linux 

* New buttonbar plug-in that displays buttons on the bottom of the screen
* New screensaver plug-in that allows easy writing of screen savers

I don't want to bore you with the complete list of changes as it is really 
quite long, you can see them all from the wiki pages: 
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/ChangeLog

To use the buttonbar you need to copy the ./contrib/examples/*_BB.fxd to 
/usr/share/skins/main/ as these buttonbar uses space at the bottom of the 
screen.

I'm continually surprised by the diversity and flexibility of Freevo and how 
*you* use Freevo. Who could have envisaged that Freevo would become so much 
more than a Home Theatre PC when the original version was written. 
Congratulations to you all for choosing Freevo for you HTPC.

Many thanks again
Duncan

I'm sure I don't understand quite why this is a problem for you, as I
use blurr and always see the font.

What I really don't understand is when diskfree shows the text with a
shadow and encodings doesn't even when selecting the same skin font. I'm
sure I'll find this sometime.

Well, I'll not the problem and maybe will find it one day

I was undecided about adding these plug-ins, then I thought when they
are in a release then people will get them to work for their environment
and with luck send in the patches. :)

There were some images included in the original PS3 email but I couldn't
post these to the list as they were too bit.

I really don't like using /tmp for this type of data as it is really not
temporary data, so what I do is make a directory /var/lib/freevo and set
the following in local_config.py
# Overlay data in internal format for CDs, DVDs, images, etc
OVERLAY_DIR = '/var/lib/freevo/overlay'
# Recording schedule and favourites
TV_RECORD_SCHEDULE = '/var/lib/freevo/record_schedule.xml'

# XMLTV EPG file.
XMLTV_FILE = '/var/lib/freevo/TV.xml'
