Re: [Freevo-devel] Saving a pygame.Surface as a PNG
Hi Adam, Adam Charrett wrote: Right annoyingly I thought pygame could do this, although it appears it will only be able to do it from the next release (1.8). I ran into that also. So my question is what is the best way to take a pygame.Surface and save it as an 8bit paletised/indexed PNG? It needs to be an index PNG as Vlc won't load anything else for its logo filter which I am going to use to display an OSD. Any help would be much appreciated, I've had a look a kaa.imlib2 but its not clear to me whether I can specify the format of the PNG. I haven't had a look at PIL yet, but I was hoping to keep the dependencies the same as freevo 1. My first thought was PIL, but kaa.imlib2 should work fine as well. Take a look at some of the mevas code in the kaa SVN. You'll likely need to use the pygame Surface fromstring()/whatever and create in imlib2 or PIL image with that data (both libraries have that ability). I think you can specify the image format in imlib2, or create it as raw and then convert it to the PNG you need. -Rob signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

This way we can just init the notifier and use kaa.notifier's loop() which just calls step() over and over (twisted doesn't have a real step()-like method). This way we're doing exactly what reactor.run() does without using the twisted loop directly. -Rob signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

[Freevo-devel] new twisted based notifier
Hi!
Some of you already know that I've committed a notifier loop based on
twisted. This one doesn't use threads to run the notifier and twisted
loops separately but actually uses the default twisted rector
(selectrector) as the main loop.
Since twisted and kaa/pynotifier handle sockets and timers in a similar
way (and both are asynchronous main loops) I was able to hook them
together pretty well. The file of interest is
kaa/trunk/base/src/notifier/pynotifier/nf_twisted.py. To use this
notifier you must call kaa.notifier.init('twisted_experimental'). Once
this is deemed bug free I think we'll rename it 'twisted' and move that
one to 'twisted_threaded' (or remove one of the threaded ones?).
This one could use some more testing. I think recordserver is a good
candidate (1.x branch). Attached is a quick patch.
Duncan, can you test this out? Everyone else is welcome to test as
well, the more feedback the better. If it works we can make it the
default for recordserver.
Thanks,
-Rob

[Freevo-devel] working on evas directfb
Hey guys,
Some of you know that I am trying to get directfb on evas working.
Attached is my evas patch in case anyone wants to hack around and help
out. Right now I am testing it by playing with kaa.canvas and am
running into some problems. Also, I had problems building evas's
directfb suport into kaa.evas and had to remove some defines (maybe I
should see why now).
In case anyone is feeling like fixing broken code here's my patch. The
latest segfault is actually occurring in imlib2. Here's the backtrace
from dfbtest.py in kaa.canvas:

Re: [Freevo-devel] Integration of Freevo in GeeXboX distro and Freevo2 perspective.
Benjamin Zores wrote: Hi, Hi Ben, Although knowing Freevo for quite a while, I've just subscribed to this list a few days ago. Let me introduce ... I'm MPlayer developer and team leader from GeeXboX distribution. After having reached our 1.0 goal, we're now facing towards a complete rework of our GUI and after several months of studies and start-stop development of various solutions I've decided for our project to completely re-use Freevo code. Awesome. :) I've been playing with nearly the same toys Jason did with MeBox project and started using Evas for our GUI (but in C while he did in Python with Kaa) but after all, Freevo2 seems to be much more usable and advanced than our software ever will be. What I'd like to do for GeeXboX 2.0 release is to have a complete inclusion of Freevo 2.0 in our distribution. Even if I can only wishes so, I'd like to propose your team some kind of partnership, being some official Freevo LiveCD or distribution, whatever you may call the result ;-) How does such an idea sounds to you guys ? I can't speak for the others but to me that sounds wonderful. I have been longing to build a Freevo live CD myself but find myself with a lack of free time. I have been following morphix for a bit now but I think I will switch my attention to geexbox! I have seen your project before and it looks good. I'll dig into your docs and fiddle around a bit. Currently I'm trying to integrate Freevo 1.6 to our distribution to be a first step made. As for now, GeeXboX does only works in console mode (i.e. no X server, though it may change) and I'd like to know if some of you already had a try to a non X based Freevo (i.e. framebuffer for Freevo, vesa or vidix output for mplayer/xine) and what potential problems we may encounter. I am totally X free (pardon the pun) on my Freevo machines, using DirectFB on both. I have used vesafb, vidix, mga_vid, and friends before as well. So there are no likely problems there. As for Freevo2, this is of course our goal to be reached (once released) and we'll try to help you finalize/test it the best way we can, but currently i'm not even managing to have a try at it under my regular distro. In the same way, I can help you pushing some MPlayer patches/features upstream to help with Freevo2 development. I'm sure Jason will be happy to hear that. I'm currently facing the following error, which you may help me deals with: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/freevo2$ ./bin/freevo WARNING __init__(1072): TV_RECORD_DIR not set Please set TV_RECORD_DIR to the directory, where recordings should be stored or remove the tv plugin.

Again.. no X here so I've never seen that message... Another point about Freevo internals. If I understood correctly, Freevo 1.x only makes use of Pygame (and so SDL) and it's up to us to make SDL support any VO we'd like. Correct, and make sure mplayer or xine can output with the same VO, etc. Freevo 2.x seems to only uses Evas to trigger this, which also will dependant on how it has been compiled to be started under several VO drivers. Or is X absolutely mandatory ? X is not neccessary, nor does Freevo 2 use evas... yet. Right now it's using mevas for its output. Re: GeexBox, it looks interesting to me for sure.

Please elaborate. A group with more than one entry of what? A group can only have one video device. I know that TV_CHANNELS has a video group number, is this used by the record server? Yes, to determine which group has that channel. The code is in one of the supporting modules inside Freevo (channels.py IIRC).

There are no rules or priority.
so the stuff on the web page is not used.
Nope, just forward thinking and not fully implimented before we moved on
to the 2.0 efforts.
It will simply try to start recording the later program and mess up the
first. You will need to add code there to check for the lockfile(s) and
decide which tuner/video group to use.
So here are the questions:
How is the video device (/dev/video0) determined by the record server
1) when no video groups have been configured
It defaults to video0 from another config item.
I think that I've fixed this, by using the same logic as in the players
to get the videogroup.
The default gets filled in the config code somewhere, creating the first
video group and filling in as many attributes as it can. I will try to
dig through the code for you later.
What I've done, in checkToRecord, is:
self.vg = self.fc.getVideoGroup(rec_prog.channel_id)
suffix=self.vg.vdev.split('/')[-1]
self.tv_lock_file = config.FREEVO_CACHEDIR + '/record.'+suffix
One *very* important question is do I need to use a critical section
around this logic?
What's the best way to implement a critical section in python?
What is a critical section? :)

I believe it comes down to this; p.current_bouquets is empty. If anyone can help, let me know. I will have to read over the code to refresh my memory but I can offer you this. In the case of analoge / v4l and ivtv devices you can think of each channel as belonging to it's own unique bouquets. In DVB bouquets are used to group channels together that are on the same transponder and frequency. Channels in the same bouquet can be recorded at the same time as one another without conflict. That is why we track them here to sort conflicts. The ivtv device in the tvdev process should report bouquets correctly (one bouquet for each channel). -Rob - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[Freevo-devel] beacon question and request
Hi, I've just svn updated my kaa and freevo. Now, some questions... I see freevo starts beacon as: /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/beacon --start --verbose=all --autoshutdown from beacon help: --verbose modules comma separated list of modules which should be more verbose. Possible modules are db, crawler, monitor, parser, server. Use 'all' to increase every module. Should the args be --verbose all (ie: space instead of =?) Also, I'd like to run beacon from init using /etc/inittab and have it monitor the process. To do this I'd need to use the --fg switch for beacon but the problem with that is that nothing gets written to the server.log. Can you change it to do both?

I have a very dump box here, unable to start anything except mpeg2. For that kind of box I want to have remote access in the future. I powerfull pc somewhere that streams the display to that box and does on-the-fly encoding of the videos. But I guess you want to boot from the network and run freevo localy, video comes from network filesystems. Well, this can be a problem. I'm rewriting kaa.vfs (in freevo it is a mix of vfs and mediadb). It is similar to kaa.epg but the clients also access the db read only. It's a choice of speed. Yes, kaa.ipc is fast, but it is faster if we do the reading part in the client itself. That means, kaa.vfs needs a local database right now. I'm not sure this is a problem. Yes, sqlite is not designed to work on network filesystems because you can't do atomic operations, but if all clients are from the same machine, it should work. Maybe for a diskless client we need some sync support. Give Freevo a dir to save in RAM and sync it to the server. On boot, copy the data back. Sure, that may be possible, there may not be much memory though (take Hauppauge Media MVP for example). Sometime I can do some more tests with the EPG and mbus. With epg1 architecture it seemed to take too many resources disassembling objects into mbus messages, then reassembling on the client. Maybe this will be better in epg2 since it may be hooked into the GuideClient _load() easily. DB rows are a lot like mbus messages. Yes, mbus is slower than kaa.ipc. Kaa.ipc just takes the data and pickles it while mbus transforms it into strings being independed of the programming language. So that costs some more time. For kaa.vfs it may be too much time, but for kaa.epg we have to see. 1. The tvserver has the epg internal, so no need to use mbus at this point. 2. The webserver also is no problem, an overhead of 200ms won't be a problem. 3. The freevo ui. The current code does the epg lookup when needed, e.g. you go to the left and it fetches the data. An overhead of 200ms will be bad. But I don't like the current tv guide, it is very hard to navigate. Maybe a different kind of tv kind solves that problem and mbus is ok for us. I was thinking the same. I would like to have one epg server part in the system. And IMHO it should be part of tvserver. The tvserver without epg makes no sense and why do you need an epg if you don't have a tvserver. So I think we should merge them. This makes sense too. For now it can be a combination of mbus and ipc. The only thing that would have to change (right away) is the use of ipc.launch. I have added a ping() to the guide client, and now when connect()/guide() is called it checks for an already instantiated client and calls ping() making sure it's there. If not, just start a new one, log errors. I know not all users check logs but I think it is important for things to keep running. Maybe stuff like that should be part of kaa.ipc in general. But IIRC there is a callback somewhere for lost connections. This callback exists on the server side, I'm not sure about the client side. There is a ping() in kaa.ipc, and that is what I hooked up to GuideClient. On the disconnected exception it (kaa.ipc) returns False. See mail from Tack. Yep, saw that. IDEA: We can create a Freevo messaging service that can send messages and alerts to UIs like the TV and webserver. Something could look for errors and notify you. Like mbus messages? Sure there could be a display or message event on mbus. Yes. I guess what I meant was a process that watches for error then sends a message / event over mbus. We could even do this from the logging module. The logging module yes, we could send all log.error over the mbus. But I don't think it will be clear to the user what the problem is. I would prefer an extra mbus.logging module and the ui can register to the log message to display and the webserver can register to it to show the error messages from the last day. OK, sounds good. -Rob -- --- Rob Shortt| http://tvcentric.com | Freevo [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://freevo.sf.net | Free your TV signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I don't think it is worth using the XMLTV ID internally, it is only something needed by the XMLTV data structure to match programs to channels. We have our own internal ID in the database to do that job. Besides, different XMLTV sources, and also non-XMLTV sources will use different IDs. We know about a channel based on its name. The database also has fields for long_name (not used by any Freevo UI yet) that is more verbose, and a field for tuner_id. The tuner_id is a list that holds possible ids for tuning a channel. A tuner_id is something the tuner/recorder uses to identify and tune a channel. For analog tv this is used to map a frequency, for DVB is can be a service id, or sometimes a name. Because the tuner_id is not always right for you depending on where you get your guide data (different XMLTV sources, etc), and sometimes not present at all, this field is only used to help programs/users match channels in the EPG to channels their devices provide acess to. How do you know the difference between tuner id and name? I have a channel called N3, looks similar to the tuner id C50. And xmltv only has display names and tuner ids are part of it. When a channel gets added to the guide it will, at the very least, have a name. If the guide data source can only provide one thing saying what the channel is, it will be used as the name. Even though the database schema doesn't enforce it, right now the channels col is unique on the name. As for XMLTV, the XMLTV parser can (and does) worry about parsing the display-name field and deciding what may be a tuner id. So maybe a channel has no real name in the db and only a list of I think we need a difinative name in the db, this way it has already decided what will be used as the name in any potential UI, making display less complicated. possible names.

If you have two sources with different channel names they are most likely different channels. However, I do have channels from different sources that have different names. Right now these are also seen and listed as different channels. This is one thing that a user defined channel_aliases would take care of. There is no way of telling this without user input. We could get all complicated and compare all of the program entries for different channels and decide that if there's a 95% match then the channels are the same, etc. Maybe in the future, but for now I think this is the best way. And if freevo-tvdev says something about a possible channel S50, try to find that name in the db. Yes, this is basicly how tvserver / tvdev interaction works now. When EPG client loads it makes a dict of all channels keyed by tuner_id. When tvserver gets a list of channels from tvdev it will first check the config (epg mapping) for user override. If there is nothing specified by the user it tries to get the channel based on tuner_id key. If that part fails then it tried to get it by name. In your case you will only have the name field in the guide - many of your channels will be found this way. If this part fails, there's a simple guess using the normalize funtion, and if all cases fail it creates an empty epg mapping for this channel so the user knows to override. Effectively this does what you're suggesting, only that that name is left from the tuner_id list. The epg2 server.py can be run on the command line to start a server instance which will listen on a local unix socket and optionally on an inet socket (but be careful with your network). As I wrote before, I don't like the idea of making a pickle ipc interface public. I know. This is disabled by default for this reason. I (and many others) run Freevo on an internal network with a firewall. I'm not worried about someone on my network trying to do nasty things. IMHO the best way would be to use kaa.ipc for internal communication when we move stuff out of a lib and mbus for global communication between programs. So we have two choices here: 1. Use kaa.epg has interface and do not care that it is a different process. This is done by kaa.vfs and kaa.vfs will start a server if needed and stop it when you are done. Communication is kaa.ipc, but you don't see it. 2. Define that we have an epg server. Communication is mbus and you have to start the server on your own. I would prefer something more like 2, but I don't think mbus is suitable for EPG data is it? I really like the behaviour of kaa.ipc right now, the only

With epg1 architecture it seemed to take too many resources disassembling objects into mbus messages, then reassembling on the client. Maybe this will be better in epg2 since it may be hooked
[Freevo-devel] EPG changes
Hi, I am about to commit my recent EPG changes (using kaa.epg2 from kaa/trunk/WIP/epg2) so this email is to inform everyone where we're at. Changes in a nutshell: -- kaa.epg2: In an effort to simplify thing's a bit I've removed the old channel_id from the EPG. Instead, a channel will be uniquely identified by its name only. The database also has fields for long_name (not used by any Freevo UI yet) that is more verbose, and a field for tuner_id. The tuner_id is a list that holds possible ids for tuning a channel. A tuner_id is something the tuner/recorder uses to identify and tune a channel. For analog tv this is used to map a frequency, for DVB is can be a service id, or sometimes a name. Because the tuner_id is not always right for you depending on where you get your guide data (different XMLTV sources, etc), and sometimes not present at all, this field is only used to help programs/users match channels in the EPG to channels their devices provide acess to. Also, when updating the EPG from different sources, channels that have tha same name are merged instead of duplicated. The same thing happens for programs but more work needs to be done there. The epg2 server.py can be run on the command line to start a server instance which will listen on a local unix socket and optionally on an inet socket (but be careful with your network). If run in this manner it will shutdown after 5 secons with no client connected. Included in __init__.py is a connect() to hide this from the library user. This stuff is taken from the WIP/vfs that Dischi is working on. Good idea, thanks. :) freevo-core: I added src/ipc/epg.py. As discussed, this may move to a new location but for now is at least in a common place. This module will use it's own config file (/etc/freevo/epg.conf) so we don't have to repeat EPG config items in every other config file. If the plain freevo.conf ever becomes shared by all processes maybe we can move items to there. This module also has a connect() that pulls in some Freevo config items to pass to the EPG server. I may rename that function to guide() because kaa.epg2.__init__ maintains a copy that gets returned. By using guide().get_channels() (etc) we can avoid problems with the server going away. freevo-tvserver: Of course, changes here reflect the kaa.epg2 changes. These changes let us match channels reported by freevo-tvdev to those in the EPG easier, and the only ones written to the epg.mapping in the config file are those it can't find. The user can also add ones to the mapping to override potentially bad guesses. There's a new script, freevo-epg, that can be used as a client to update the EPG information based on config options, and search the guide. Right now there's a bug with using multiple guide sources at the same time, I need to make them run in serial. This process can also be used to run the EPG as a server (that will NOT auto shutdown) in case you have clients that run on a different machine. freevo-webserver: I know this is being overhauled but changes here made it easier for me to test. I added the ability to search by channel as well. TODO: - kaa.epg2: -Merge programs better and detect shifts in the schedule. Right now there may be problems when adding a program that just moved by a few minutes. -there's an exclude_channels variable you can pass but it's not used yet. Make this work, ignoring (don't add to DB) matching channels. -Maybe add a channel_aliases variable in case we have a channel from two devices or EPG sources that name the smae channel slightly different. freevo-tvserver: -test favorites, this may need more work -add an mbus call to return a list of channels that have been reported by freevo-dev. The UIs can use this information to only display channels that you can use. -add channel_aliases? -fix freevo-epg update for multiple sources, which should run in serial. freevo-ui: I didn't touch this yet so I need to make it use epg2 as well. I think I can do this today still. There are also some TODO comments in the code. In case something is not clear, please ask. There may be a few bugs or something that doesn't look quite right, and maybe I left something out.

You don't like the logger, don't you? Using print is a bad idea in

should use

As you can see, no unicode handling anymore. I fixed the global
logging code to auto convert string and unicode. IMHO this is a much
cleaner way.
Since you told me logger handles unicode I've been using it exclusively,
just hadn't gotten around to changing this one yet. It's funny, this is
what I was doing when you told me logger did that.

Both channels are provided by different devices and thus different drivers. Right, Now, my plugin starts xine with the ivtv driver and hardware MPEG accelleration. Channel switching works, as long as the new channel is part of the ivtv group. But what if the user switches to a channel that belongs to another group? Preferably I'd hand over control to another plugin (or back to freevo). If I'd popup an error box then the particular channel group isn't needed at all. I think there's an example in one of the TV plugins on how to do that, maybe one of the mplayer ones. I used to have my setup doing this somewhat ok - I had 3 groups, one for my ivtv tuner input, one for composite (sat receiver input), and a webcam. I could switch between them without problems. One thing I didn't do though was to say one channel was provided by two groups for redundancy. I think you'll need to dig a bit more and add some logic.

Rob: to do that, I guess you need to integrate some sort of scanner so you know what channels you have. Freevo-tvdev Ok, scanning analog channels may become a problem in some parts of the world or there may be problems with some drivers implimenting the ioctl calls we use. The current scanning produces an error on my ATI TV-Wonder and finds no channels on my ivtv card. I am pretty sure that the vbi calls in the ivtv driver don't conform to what's expected, and I will be looking into this issue on the ivtv list. I would like to be able to fall back to using the regular chanlist (us-cable, europe-west, etc) if scanning fails. So, limiting the channels to those known by the epg or a conf file is important. I guess what I'm saying is that it shouldn't be totally on tvdev to provide a concrete list of channels upstream because in that case in the analog world it would always say it has channels that it doesn't (when scanning fails, which it will). doesn't know about unified channel names, the mapping to the epg is done by freevo-tvserver. How are channels named in your analog scan? OK, you can now call 'freevo-tvdev tv0 scan' to scan a device. If ivtv is working again, it should also work there without changes. Whats missing is writing the channels.conf file after a scan, so right now it is useless. Rob: can you add channels.conf writer and reader after you fixed ivtv? And we should find a way to handle an external tuner. I'm not convinced that a channels.conf is required for tv and ivtv devices, but maybe if scanning was reliable.

The one you're using now relies on the DVB name as the defining factor which isn't that reliable IMO. The VDR 1.3.x format is consistent accross DVB-C/S/T I think, and exposes the channels Service ID (SID). I was thinking about creating our own channels.conf format, including dvb and analog settings. In that case I was going to suggest the same thing as Lucian here. This is getting in the same old direction, re-invent everything. You're not to blame for this, as there isn't any universal format for TV channels yet, every application has it's own (xawtv, tvtime, xine, mplayer, freevo, etc...), and that's a pity. VDR's channel.conf also support analogue channels (just by the usge of the present fields, VDR itself isn't aware of analog channels), as described in the analogtv plugin's documentation. http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Syntax_of_channels.conf http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Syntax_der_channels.conf http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Channels.conf_analog I couldn't setup analogtv myself, but there is another similar plugin only targeted at Hauppauge PVR and compatible cards, pvrinput, which was a snap to install and use, as it just takes the MPEG2 stream from the PVR's hardware encoder and feeds VDR's MPEG2 decoder, whatever that is, hardware or software. Pvrinput also uses the same format as analogtv does, for VDR's channels.conf analogue channels entries. So VDR's channel.conf basically has all this. I have to agree, it lacks information about the language of the EPG for a specific channel for example, which is not necessarily the same like the language of audio pids, but Freevo is using UTF-8 already anyway and maybe will deal with this better. ... I don't know if you guys followed the linuxdvb ML, but there where efforts to unify channel configuration data in a library (I guess at the moment it's just in CVS): libdvbcfg, just ahave a look http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dvb-apps/libs/ . They enherited lots of things from VDR 1.3.x. Maybe it is a good moment to try to unify all this channel format chaos, then applications could just use libdvbcfg and then channel configs may be shared between such frameworks of more apps like freevo is, easier. I think libdvbcfg might even be able to accomodate analog channels the way it's done in VDR, because it's just up to the application (like in VDR's case, to the anlogplugin or pvrinput) to use those channels masked by a special CA-ID which normal DVB-targeted apps ignore due to the fact that those look encrypted to them.

Re: [Freevo-devel] The future of freevo record
Dirk Meyer wrote: Hi, Hi Dischi, I played with the new analog card (thanks to the donators btw) to make configuration easier. How can Freevo know on what frequence a channel is. After some playing using libzvbi I found the following results. 1. In Europe channels have a unique id. To test it, install libzvbi and current kaa.record and run the scan test app of kaa.record. Doing scan will show a) all frequencenies where channels are and in most cases b) what channels are on the freq. As example, I can find 'ARD' with unique id 60 (I don't know the current id right now, 60 is wrong) and S50 == frequency . 2. DVB channels have a name. So the same ARD channel from obove is named 'Das Erste RB' for DVB-T in Bremen. So now we need a way to tell Freevo that analog id 60 is identical to DVB channel 'Das Erste RB' and identical to the xmltv id ard.de. Yes, back to your DVB:XMLTV mapping problem. Since no channels as defined by the DVB stream have anything in common with your XMLTV source. So far, the only solution to this problem that I have found is that users that are in this situation MUST define these channels in TV_CHANNELS with the access id being the DVB name (for DVB-T at least) or service ID. I started a file called channels.py for this information. As a result, the user only needs to start the scan and Freevo will know a) what channels you can receive b) where they are (analog/dvb and freq) c) a unique name to search xmltv files Based on this, kaa.epg should only contain informations about stuff you can receive. Now the problem: this works great for Europe, but what about the US, Canada, Asia, etc. Since I live in Europe, I can't test. So I need some information: 1. Where can you get channel-frequency mappings for analog cards. For the US, you can use the xmltv file to get that mapping. channel- frequency comes from the chanlists defined in v4l_frequencies.py, and the XMLTV data defines the channel (tuner id). A chanlist is just a broad range of possible channels for a particular area. I am using the us-cable chanlist and it defines way more channels than I have but that doesn't matter, nor is it the point. It's just a mapping, in case I want to tune to channel 50 we know what frequency to set the analoge tuner to. The channels that I want to use are defined by my XMLTV data, which I have the privalege of configuring for my own use (I don't think all grabbers or providers support that). 2. Where can you get the channel-dvb-name mapping. I know no source at all with that kind of data, but we could start such a db. So, channels.py is this db? I will check it out when I have some time. I guess maintaining such a database will solve the problem but the DVB name depends on what your provider has set and any change will result in breakage. There are other deffinitions in the DVB stream / tables that you should be able to use more reliably. Also, have you looked at using a different channels.conf format? The one you're using now relies on the DVB name as the defining factor which isn't that reliable IMO. The VDR 1.3.x format is consistent accross DVB-C/S/T I think, and exposes the channels Service ID (SID). Now, in the past, it is this SID (just like a numeric tuner ID) that made the correlation to my XMLTV data, for example channel 203 in my XMLTV data was the same as the DVB channel defined by SID 203 - and in almost every case the XMLTV display name and the DVB name were different. Comments / better suggestions / help ??? Can you check if your DVB provider broadcasts a Service ID for your channels? Also, have you looked into the VDR 1.3.x channels.conf format? -Rob -- --- Rob Shortt| http://tvcentric.com | Freevo [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://freevo.sf.net | Free your TV signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: [Freevo-devel] Re: kaa.epg sucks
seems to be the way to go. I also agree that fetching the data before trying to show the EPG is best. What I'd like to avoid is a problem we're having right now. The local cached EPG data will be incorrect if the EPG changes in the database / server. Will we use some callbacks for when the server updates? Ideally I'd like to see everything done realtime, from the client, to the server, to the database, but I'm not sure we can get the performance there that we really want. Is it bad to dream? A small buffer on the client and prefetching could hide potential lag. Back to client / server. When we want to add data to the epg, we spawn a child. First we check if a write child is already running (try to connect to the ipc, if it doesn't work, start child, I have some test code for that). Same for kaa.vfs. One reading thread in each app, one writing app on each machine. Again I'd prefer a single point of entry... I think I need to change my opinion a bit about kaa.base.ipc. My original thinking was that you don't need to write a client API. You just grab a proxy to a remote object and use it as if it's local. This works in terms of functionality, but in practice, things aren't so clear. For example, in the epg example, you do a query and return a list of 2000 Program objects. Since objects get proxied by default, all those Program objects are proxies. So if we assume epg is a proxied, remote object: for prog in epg.search(keywords=simpsons): prog.description That would be fairly slow, because since 'prog' is a proxied Program object, each access of the description attribute goes over the wire. Alternatively you could do this: for prog in epg.search(keywords=simpsons, __ipc_copy_result = True): prog.description That'd be fast, because each Program object is pickled (rather than just a reference to it), so all those objects are local. But if Program object holds a reference to the epg (prog._epg in my case), if you use __ipc_copy_result, the epg Guide object also gets pickled. That's not good. Ideally you'd want Program objects to get pickled (so that attribute accesses are local), but the epg reference is to a remote object. This isn't something kaa.base.ipc can do automatically. It needs some supporting logic. So in reality, we'll need a client API that uses IPC and does intelligent things for the API its wrapping. This isn't really a problem, it just means that kaa ipc isn't magic pixie dust like I claimed it was. :) And kaa.epg has different sources. One is xmltv, a new one could be sync-from-other-db. As I mentioned on IRC, unless this is just a straight copy of the sqlite file, this probably isn't worth it. Syncing individual rows means accessing the db through pysqlite in which case we're not really saving anything. With libxml2, parsing the xml file is very quick. Almost all the time is due to db accesses, so we're not saving much by syncing at the row level from another db. Copying the epgdb.sqlite file straight over would be a big win, of course. We could implement that eventually. I don't like the idea of syncing the databases. I'd rather that there was one database, one controlling process with a client/server interface (for reads AND writes (including large writes like tv_grab results)). I would be happy with something like this: +-+ |epg_server.py+ +-+ | kaa.epg +---+ | | DB| |-+---+ |object interface/IPC | +-+ /\ / \ /\ UNIX or TCP/IP sockets /\ / \ +--++--+ |epg_client.py ||epg_client.py | +--++--+ | client 1|| client n| +--++--+ | cached OR| | realtime view| +--+ Where epg_server.py would be the server process and singular interface to the real EPG / DB. epg_client.py would be the required wrapper / glue that is imported by the client process (tv/webserver/tv_grab) and accessed like a local object in that respect, and juggles the server interface. Ideally the only cache that should exist at all would be on the client, and NOT in the server (db results in Program/Channels array for example) because then there'd be multiple layers of cache, which we would have today if we did this with the current kaa.epg. - -Rob - -- - --- Rob Shortt| http://tvcentric.com | Freevo [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://freevo.sf.net | Free your TV -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird

After I saw the process grow to 410M I was not very impressed. This isn't any improvement over 1.5.x. After the thing ran for 12 minutes and still wasn't finished, I got impatient and aborted it. Well, the xmltv parser sucks, I know. It is still the old one from Freevo 1.5. So I wrote my own. :) :) Someone needs to write a zap2it datadirect parser too... I use libxml2. For database, since I wanted to take advantage of keyword searching, I use kaa.vfs. So my version uses 130M and takes 160 seconds. Still not awesome, but at least it's tolerable. And it works how I want it: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ python epg.py simpsons WORD: simpsons (5525), freq=125/27604, idf_t=7.398163 Program found: Title: The Simpsons Desc: Bart and Homer join a big brother program to spite each other. Chan: 625 COMEDC Query took 0.0109269618988 I think this is a neat use of kaa.vfs. When you think about kaa.vfs's design (at the db level), it's pretty flexible. You can specify arbitrary objects with any parent/child relationship. So I define a channel object, and a program object which is a child of a channel. Yea, but kaa.epg also does nice stuff like getting programs between time x and y and has nice objects around everything. Maybe instead of moving kaa.epg into kaa.vfs, we should move some logic from kaa.vfs into kaa.epg. We need to improve two things in kaa.epg: 1. Better use of the database. I guess we need to copy some stuff from kaa.vfs. We could definately use keyword parse / search in kaa.epg. 2. Better xmltv parser. You never used the database, you stopped the program while reading the xmltv file. So your parser needs to moved into the kaa.epg xmltv parser. Maybe kaa.epg can use kaa.vfs for database access. Maybe kaa.epg can use libxml2, because god knows, whatever it's using now is brutally, brutally slow. Yeah the old parser is a total hog. I wonder... if we used kaa.vfs in kaa.epg, would it be easier to wrap it up with ipc or mbus? I still have a strong feeling that the EPG should be client / server oriented. -Rob -- --- Rob Shortt| http://tvcentric.com | Freevo [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://freevo.sf.net | Free your TV --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl ___ Freevo-devel mailing list Freevo-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-devel

Where do you convert internal channel id to frequency?
I moved the frequency tables into kaa.record, but I think you're
referring to the channel's tunind id (access_id). Well, I don't need to
convert anything since that is what's passed to this function. :)
I took a look at what you're doing here and think that might not be
neccessary either. In my local copy (I just remembered) I have a couple
modifications to external.py to deal with a dvbism that's there too, and
perhaps allow me to do what I do.
Also, I see that you refer to kaa.epg.channels in recorder, but wouldn't
it be better to look at card.channels and do anything special at
config/detect time (like is already done)?
When I get IVTV working better I will spend some time looking at all the
channel/id translation stuff for a generic answer. The main problem
we're working around here is that for you (and of course many other
people) the TV guide information you're getting in XMLTV format doesn't
have an (tuning/access) id to match that of TV_CHANNELS and kaa.epg.
Anyhow, I do have some things to try, so I wouldn't worry much about it
for the next little bit.

The best card you can have is DVB-C, that's why it has a priority of 10. A priority of 0 is a very very bad card (not much better than dropping the recording). I suggest ivtv cards to use a priority of 6 or 7 (set a default for all cards to 7 and the user can adjust it) and for normal analog cards to 4 or 5. Just as a side note, I found my ivtv recordings from cable TV to be of much better quality than (lower bitrate) terrestrial DVB. Most people seem to be thinking that digital TV is always better. I have had the same experience with IVTV vs DVB-S. The companies marketting digital cable and satellite are always saying how the quality is better because it's all digital. The truth is that they broadcast most channels with the lowest bitrate they can get away with, and use higher bitrates for movie channels and special events (and of course HDTV channels). With IVTV even though the incomming signal is analog I can still set the mpeg bitrate to DVD quality and the results are superb. (That doesn't mean that I want different default priorities - I could still change them for me personally.) Agreed. I'm setting the default priorities to 5 for v4l TV and 7 for IVTV. -Rob -- --- Rob Shortt| http://tvcentric.com | Freevo [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://freevo.sf.net | Free your TV --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Freevo-devel mailing list Freevo-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-devel

Most of it is auto-detected? Maybe we should move the detection code to kaa. Yeah, it's a lot of stuff but you only need device/norm/chanlist to work. Freevo will only be passing the options that the users overrides anyhow. This stuff isn't autodetected by our code but by the driver, so unless they specificly want to change something for their card they will likely not be overriding anything but bitrate. Well, we can detect our current driver settings but this is here if we'd like to change something. :) -Rob -- --- Rob Shortt| http://tvcentric.com | Freevo [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://freevo.sf.net | Free your TV --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Freevo-devel mailing list Freevo-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-devel

Duncan Webb wrote: Hi all Hi, Been trying to get freevo 1.5.3 working with a bttv card on /dev/video0 and an ivtv card on /dev/video1 The record server kept on crashing when trying to record anything and discovered the problem is in src/tv/v42l.py. The same bug is in the current cvs version. def getfmt(self): val = struct.pack( FMT_ST, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0) This is trying go get the format of an incorrect v4l2_buf_type it should be def getfmt(self): val = struct.pack( FMT_ST, 1L,0,0,0,0,0,0,0) If the capabilities returned from VIDIOC_QUERYCAP say that it implements V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE then this call should never fail, so the try block in the cvs version could be removed. Hope this helps Thanks Duncan. I was looking at a very similar problem last night, using the set format ioctl. This was silently killing the driver, resulting in 0 byte captures on every attempt after the call until the driver was reloaded. It drove me nuts tracking it down to the setfmt() call. I'll fix getfmt() and see if the two problems are related. -Rob --- Rob Shortt| http://tvcentric.com | Freevo [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://freevo.sf.net | Free your TV --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Freevo-devel mailing list Freevo-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-devel

In the CVS recordserver plugin implimenation of ivtv recording there's no python involved becasue the encoder utility (comes frmo ivtv project) does it all as a seperate process. This way is almost identical to using the generic / mencoder plugin but with ivtv options of course. The ivtv stuff in kaa.record won't be using this utility at all. -Rob -- --- Rob Shortt| http://tvcentric.com | Freevo [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://freevo.sf.net | Free your TV --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Freevo-devel mailing list Freevo-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-devel

When podcasting with video gets more and more public, legal stuff would increase and I would include it. But even if not, a plugin like this can be external. Incidentally, to go along with the rss/podcasting/video/demotv stuff I've been working on, I have a bittorrent backend for Freevo. I understand the complications that this could bring us (as maintainers of Freevo) and will be releasing it as a seperate plugin on my website. :) -Rob -- --- Rob Shortt| http://tvcentric.com | Freevo [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://freevo.sf.net | Free your TV --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Freevo-devel mailing list Freevo-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-devel
