OK, i revert to Imlib2 1.1.2, and the splash screen is now working. BTW i think that maybe Imlib2 1..0 is working in fact, it seems to be just a matter of cleaning completly the previous installation (the make uninstall does not do the job properly). I will try this tomorrow. Anyway, i have added a warning in the wiki 2.0 because the /var/lib/freevo folder need to be in 777 mode if you run Freevo with another user when it cretes the database.

I do the mistake because the local_conf.py.example is still synchronized

[Freevo-devel] Recoding recorded streams
My Freevo station is composed mainly of a Duron 800 and a DVB-T PCI card. As i cannot convert on the fly directly the MPEG2-TS stream to MPEG4/MP3, i record it in a native TS form, then i recode it in non-real time in MPEG4/MP3. I want now to automatize the "recode" process and i just want to know wat is the best solution with Freevo : 1 - Use the VCR_POST_REC command (but note that i want to record a new program, even if another one is in the recode process, so it means that i do not want to wait the end of the VCR_POST_REC command to start a new record. Is it already the case in the recordserver or not ???) 2 - Use the VCR_CMD command and add the recoding command after a ; (but see my remark in point 1) 3 - Use a 'RECODE_SERVER' that will be responsible to queue the recode commands and process them with the lowest priority. Any ideas on the best method to do that ? --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?

[Freevo-devel] Plugin BMOVL
Hi all. After a message on my french forum dedicated to Freevo, i saw that the bmovl module was able to display some nice graphics on the top of the video. On my installation, it is only displaying some texts (ie play duration against total duration), without any Freevo logos or stuff like that. I suspect that is is related to the use of the SW_SCALER options of MPLAYER found in the local_conf.py. Unfortunatly, the BMOVL code is not so clear (for me :) ) and i am a bit lost. Can someone explain me clearly what can cause the lack of graphics (ie no Freevo logo, typically) when using the BMOVL plugin ??

[Freevo-devel] New features ideas on the fly ... (for Freevo 1.5)
Hi all. For my job, i have encountered some guys from Microsoft (i was obliged :) ) for a demonstration of their video codec VC9 (they try "normalize" it via the SMPTE forum). During this demo, they showed us their 'Media Center' product which looks like Freevo/MythTV mainly, but with some interesting additionnal features : - automatic picture slideshows : when you enter a folder with images, a slideshow begins automatically - nice transitions during slideshows : during this slideshow, the transition between picture is quite nice (fade, ...) - internal small zoom inside a picture : in order to add some 'movements' to photos, the photos are slowly zoomed (in a factor 1.2/1.5). - When playing SVCD/DVD/AVI/..., if the 'Mute' button is pressed, then the subtitles are displayed (and the sound goes off, of course) - When going back to the main menu, the current display is shown in a very small window closed to the main menu. So you can switch back to the video/audio/picture/TV nicely (like the audio.detach plugin, but for all the items : video, picture, TV, games). For the "picture" features, it seems that 'feh' can do the job, but i get a seg fault when i try to run it. Photo-desktop (http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~dbenson/photo-desktop/) is a tool for smooth zooming and translations effects, but there is only a few set of parameters. For the rest ???

Re: [Freevo-devel] New features ideas on the fly ... (for Freevo 1.5)
Ok, here are my first tests for fading between pictures : - In the Python world, it seems (maybe someone can confirm???) that only PIL offers a function for fading (the Image.blend function). - I test it by modifying the src/image/ files : the imageitem.oy now accepts a second filename, which is the previous image. Then the viewer loops in ten step to fade-in/out the previous image to the new one. - On my 800x600 screen (Duron 800 Mhz+R128TVout), the processing is very, very slow !!! At least 3/4 sec for fading between two 800x600 pictures, with 97% of my CPU !!! I think that one of the problem is for each frame, the PIL image needs to be converted to a Pygame image... Any ideas to do it directly in Pygame ??? Or ???

[Freevo-devel] Recorder server/TV configuration for sound
hi all. I'am now working hard on the recorder server side of my Freevo box and the following symptoms appears : - Each time i launch the TV, everything is OK - If i record something after watching TV, there is no sound at all - If i go back to TV, there is no sound again... My temp solution is to add two new config variables in freevo_config.py : MIXER_FORCE_RECORDSERVER_CMD = 'mixer -l R -l 80 -x 0' MIXER_FORCER_MPLAYERTV_CMD = 'mixer -l R -l 80 -x 80' And to add the correct test/laucnh of these variables in tv/plugins/mplayer.py and generic_record.py Am i missing something ? I plug my TV board sound output in the LineIn input of my soundblaster. I have seen that there is many hardcoded functions to Linein, Mic and Igain functions. Is it normal ? Does it need to be more configurable ? Is anyone able to write a mixer status for TV record/view ? Thanks for anwsers. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.

Re: [Freevo-devel] SBLIVE + MiroPCTV + Freevo 1.4.1 = No soundwhen recording
I have the same problem than Erwan, and i don't understand why freevo can
not handle audio recording wihtout btaudio... I think than an option in
the config files like 'ACTIVATE_LINE_IN_ON_RECORD=1/0' would be a good
idea.
If this option is set, then call the mixer with linein activation before
launching the VCR_CMD command, and, at the end of the record process,
restore the mixer status.
If no set, do nothing more than launching the VCR_CMD.
So why isn't possible/acceptable to integrate this workaround directly
into Freevo ??

[Freevo-devel] MAME games sorting
As Freevo 1.4 seems stable, i want to introduce a new features for the management of MAME games in 1.5. Here is my problem : 1 - I have more than 1600 games in my MAME folder 2 - Even with the name and the snapshot, it is difficult to parse all the files in order to find the desired game So my idea is to use some external parameters to sort the games with the following menus : MAME games by year | |-> 1980 |-> 1981 |-> ... |-> 2002 MAME games by genre |-> Arcade |-> Platform |-> ... |-> Puzzle Of course, the submenus (year and genre) are automatically generated by parsing the MAME folders AND the history.dat file (found at http://fandemame.emu-france.com/) But i don't know how to use the mediamenu in this case. Do you have any ideas about that kind of sorting ?? Regards, Sylvain --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials. Become an expert in LINUX or just sharpen your skills.

[Freevo-devel] [PATCH][MMPYTHON]Preliminary Matroska support
Hi all.
Here is the first Matroska parser for the mmpython package.
It currently handles :
- Stream recognition
- Video lenght
- Tracks identification
- Video specific settings (width, height, fps, codec)
- Audio specific settings (samplerate, channels, codec)
The Matroska format is based on EBML, a kind of binary XML. It means that
this format is very stable against new releases (ie new fields of data are
ingored by previous parser without crash), but it means too that it is
much more complicated to parse than 'hardcoded' bitstream, as some data
field can be present or not.
Don't hesitate to test it against your MKV bitstreams.
Of course, you nee to add the : import video.mkvinfo in the __init__.py of
mmpython.
BTW some questions about MMpython internals :
1 - What is the unit of the lenght ? Seconds ? Minutes ? Date string ?
2 - Matroska manage subtitles as track (ie like video an audio). I do not
find a 'SubtitleMedia' object in the MediaAV object. is there anyway to
specify embedded multi-subtitles tracks in mmpython ?

[Freevo-devel] (Dummy) Python question
I try to modify now the headlines plugin, by adding an automatic link resolver : if a link is found in the content of one title, then the link is fetched and the content is displayed. As this content is mainly text-based, i want to convert directly the HTML file to a text string, without any HTML keywords. I can do that in one function in PERL, but i do not see exactly how to do the same in Python. Any example or idea ? --- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.

[Freevo-devel] Help requested for Unicode/XML strings in FXD files !!!!
I am currently developping a new video plugin similar to imdb.py, but for getting french comments and title for movies. The equivalent website for that in France is called 'allocine.fr'. The grabber works very well and give me all the needed information, but i have a big problem when i want to write the strings to the FXD files. 1 - I have created a plugins/fxdallocine.py and a video/plugins/allocine.py 2 - These files are copy of plugins/fxdimdb.py and video/plugins/imdb.py 3 - The problem is located in the str2XML function of fxdallocine.py (i think) because strings are now in French, with many accent, like é, è, à, and so on. 4 - So my big problem is :How to convert these characaters, where in the code and with which kind of code ??? If someone can just give me an example to encode a string like "après leur échec pour éliminer Sarah Connor" in an FXD file, it would be great...

[Freevo-devel] [PATCH AND NEW FILE]
Hi.
Here is the first attempt for an Allocine.fr video information grabber.
Allocine.fr is similar to IMDB, but for french speaking people. So this
grabber works like the video/plugin/imdb.py plugin.
Dishi, i have found one bug (i think) in the util/fxdparser.py : the
setattr method doe not work, i modify it. Moroever, i add a "setcdata"
method to allow cdata just below a root node. My modified fxdparser is
joined.
If you wand to test the plugin (with Freevo CVS only)
1 - save the joined fxdparser.py in src/util
2 - save the joined allocine.py in src/video/plugins
3 - Add a plugin.activate("video.allocine.py) in your config file.
Then you should see a new menu item allowing you to grab video information
from Allocine (again, only for french speaking people).
Current data downloaded :
- Title
- Plot
- Year
- Picture (if available)
Sylvain.
Si vous parlez français et que vous utilisez Freevo CVS, pourriez vous
faire des tests complémentaires ??
Merci.

[Freevo-devel] Plugin allocine.py available on Freevo Website
The "allocine.py" plugin is now available in the Addons section of the
freevo website.
It has the same functions that the video/plugins/imdb.py, but for french
speaking people. It means that french people can now download comments and
posters in french directly from Freevo.
Once downloade, put it in the src/video/plugins folder , then activate it
with plugin.activate("video.allocine")
It works only with Frevo CVS (or with the future 1.5)

[Freevo-devel] New version of allocine.py
Allocine.py is a video plugin similar to imdb.py, but for french speaking
people.
This new version is now more robust against the website and is able to
retrieve the data faster than before.
You need now to add some variables to your local_conf.py, like this :
ALLOCINE_REMOVE_FROM_LABEL = ('saison[\._ -][0-9]+', 'CD[0-9]+')
ALLOCINE_REMOVE_FROM_SEARCHSTRING = ('l', 'le', 'la', 'les', 'd')
ALLOCINE_AUTOACCEPT_SINGLE_HIT = True
These default values are fine and have tested by me and Stephane
Lavirotte, the second author of this script.

Very good idea! I am wondering what kind of drivers shall be installed to get events from teh Wiimote.

[Freevo-devel] Catalog of movies with Freevo ?
Hi all, Since 2003 when i started to ue Freevo, it seems to me that one major module is missing in the package: a movie catalog feature. The idea is : - to offer an interface to store the data of each new movie (name, IDMB data, ...) and the disc id (entered by hand in some cases, i guess). - to offer an interface to seach in this database, ideally with text search by using a "on screen" keyboard, like on PDA or on the Wii. - then to perform a search against the database and to return the relevant items, with the associated disk ID (of course). I am a modest Python author (games/emulation menu items, various grabber for french users), so i might be able to develop this, but i would like to know: - is there already some development effort on this? - whats is plannd in Freevo 2.0 for that?

Re: [Freevo-devel] Catalog of movies with Freevo ?
OK, but this plugin does not offer the backbone of a 'catalog' system, meaning: - multi-criteria search function (actor, title, director, ...) - display of the results with associatd disc_id/type to be inserted in the player > The Amazon plugin works fine for this, at least in my case.

E.g. if I give a CD to a friend, I could tell freevo > about it, and when I want to watch it, it does not simply say "insert > disc 'foo' ", but also "which you have given to Jason". Not top priority, IMHO. My current view on the features/use case is: 1 - To be able to populate a freevo movie database. We should offer 2 ways to do this: - Parsing of each disc inserted into the system, with automatic IMDB or similar grabber and user input of a disc ID/disc name - "Import of an export", caming from a "legacy" media management tool. I have already written some script to export AntMovieCatalog datas to FXD for example, and 1 member of this mailing lists has already some scripts for videoDB. 2 - Perform search against the database, with fixed scenarios: - Title - Actors - Director - Language (?) - Year (?) 3 - Display the results in a nice way, allowing the end user to navigate into the resulting lists and to be able to retrieve easily the disc associated with the movie. I think this is the scenario that is covering 80% of the need of everybody regarding a movie database, but maybe i am wrong. Do you see any other key features that should be offered in the first step? Rgds, Sylvain. - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
