Re: [Freevo-users] Partition type for Freevo?
On this note, does anyone know anything about UPS? Can they be configured to send signals to the PC saying, 'hey, i'm not recieving power anymore, you need to shut down now..'. I can't see how UPS could be any good if this isn't a standard feature.. If your not around when the power goes out, how can you hsut the PC down?

After some more experimentation, I have some tips on
troubleshooting the TV Guide corrupt problem. (This
does raise some other issues.)
1). Here is a valid TV_CHANNELS entry from my
local_conf.py
TV_CHANNELS = [('2 KASA','KASA 2','2'),
('4 KOB', 'KOB 4', '4')]
The first entry '2 KASA' is critial and must match
the
entry
in the listings_.xml or TV.xml file ! The
second
'KASA 2' is what you want freevo to display on the
grid as the channel name, and of course the last
entry
is the real channel number to address your tuner
card.
Don't forget the left and right []'s
2). I also edited out all but 2 of the channels in
the
.xmltv/tv_grab_na.conf file, and here is a portion:
# config file: tv_grab_na 2.20030426
#
# this file is generated by running tv_grab_na
--configure
# the only change you should make is prefixing
'channel:' lines
# with a '#' to signal that they should be ignored
during the
# grab step
#
retry limit: 2
retry delay: 30
zip code: 87105
provider: 70796 # "Source" - "City"
channel: 2 KASA
#channel: 3 QVC
channel: 4 KOB
#channel: 5 KNME
#channel: 6 KWBQ
After working with a download of ONE or TWO
channels,
and still getting TV Guide corrupt messages, I found
if I deleted any program that had a start time but
no
end time, the Guide was no longer considered
corrupt.
This program was usually the last program of the
day,
usually starting at 23:??
To manually delete the "offending program", you must
delete all lines in TV.xml or listings_.xml
file
between a program's that does not have both a start time
and
an end time.
Here's an example of a single program listing (with
a
stop time):
KASA Fox 2 News at 9
News
Most programs have more lines, news programs tend to
have the fewest.
I tried using the tv_sort, but this did not prevent
the TV guide corrupt messages and indeed posts an
internal error message about a possible typo in
tv_sort itself at line 149.
I do not know how to fix this in an automated way,
but I think it would involve working with the next
days listings as you approach midnight.
I also did some compares/troubleshooting with a Java
app called Freeguide, which I loaded on a windows
platform with Java 1.4.0. This app also downloads
the
very same xmltv data and displays it on a grid
something like freevo. You could use Freeguide to
learn from or even assist in downloading data for
freevo !
Freeguide does not process the downloaded listings
and
as you pass midnight, it just opens the next day's
xml
file and you could at least pinpoint the end time of
the current program by using the start time of the
next program on the same channel. Admittedly
Freeguide
does not cross midnight seamlessly, something that
freevo probably needs to be able to do.
I think the use of a single TV.xml file will not be
practical for freevo for a couple of reasons: not
knowing the stop time of a program that crosses
midnight, and attempting to record a program farther
in the future than today.
Hope this info is of assistance.

[Freevo-users] Partition type for Freevo?
What is the recommended partition type for Freevo? I've been using ReiserFS, but after a accidentally tripped circiut breaker, my system won't reboot. I'm working to recover it, but since the electrical is flaky in my current house, I want to move to something a bit more robust (I know, I should just buy a UPS...). What partition type provides the best mix of performance for Freevo use, balanced with robust crash recovery?

[Freevo-users] runtime-pre5-test1 available and call for testers
Hi all, There is a new runtime version available and the sooner we can test it out the sooner we can go ahead and release 1.3.2-pre5. :) For those of you that are feeling adventurous and are using Freevo from CVS you may cvs update and then install this new runtime version. You may find the runtime here: http://freevo.sf.net/runtime/runtime-pre5-test1.tar.gz Before you unpack this runtime you should probably backup your existing runtime directory just in case. cd /path/to/freevo mv runtime runtime.orig cvs update -d runtime tar zxvf runtime-pre5-test1.tar.gz This runtime package has runtime/apps,lib,dll,preloads inside and will compliment the runtime directory out of CVS. Be warned that this runtime weighs in at a hefty 18 megs but I think that is a fair price to pay for less problems in the field. Also please note that you must update and recompile runapp because I had to modify it to handle staticly compiled apps. Things to test: -dxr3 support -directfb support -alsa support (mplayer) -play dvd, cd, mp3, ogg -test images -test different video file formats. I had mplayer freeze on some of my mpeg1 files but not others for instance. mplayer should also play nuv files from mythtv, and hopefully normal nuv files... if not then I will remove that patch. -someone who already uses it should test timeshifting -test mp1e in runtime/apps. This is compiled with a btaudio patch and also supports v4l2. -test mencoder I don't have a regular v4l or v4l2 device in my Freevo box anymore (using ivtv, woo hoo!!) so testing mencoder is especially important. Also there was a mysterious audio crash in -pre4 and CVS that happened while skipping to the next song which seems to have gone away, please test this also (ok so that would be pretty obvious). The runtime contains: mplayer mencoder mpe1 jpegtran cdparanoia fceu aumix python 2.2.2 with modules: CDDB DiscID Numeric PIL xmlplus xmms aomodule cdrom fchksum mmpython mx ogg pygame pygphoto pylirc pyshift twisted I have been entertaining thoughs of including xmame but I think it is a bit large and most people who use it usually find their own package anyways. I don't think that I have forgotten to mention anything but I may followup later.

RE: [Freevo-users] Questions about the OSD - possible improvements?
Paul,
Got the Idlebar up and running in zerotime (many thanks for your example!)
and I got so carried away that I hacked myself a plugin for checking the
disk usage!
It's not beautifully engineered Pyhton, but it sort of does the job for me
:-)
I'm happy to submit it if anyone wants it... I can post it here (the class
is something like 50 lines of code that goes into the src/plugins/idlebar.py
somewhere), or I can post it to someone who have access (and knowledge) in
CVS.
Please advice.

Re: [Freevo-users] Re: Freevo+DXR3: ffmpeg problem
any idea how to get either framebuffer or X working as "full-screen" without the 1" black bars on the side of the TV? As that is precluding me from getting rid of my digital cable and switching to freevo only. That's why I had switched to the dxr3, because I hate losing TV space.

Well, it's pretty trivial to do. We load in the freevo_record.lst and
compare the list to the guide when we're generating the TV guide. I
did it once before, and will probably do it again when my new box
arrives.

You need to activate the plugins, add to your local_conf.py, something like this:
plugin.activate('idlebar.interface')
plugin.activate('idlebar.mail',level=10, args=('/var/spool/mail/aubin', ))
plugin.activate('idlebar.tv', level=20)
plugin.activate('idlebar.clock', level=50)
Probably should change the spool to your own mail spool :)

[Freevo-users] Nforce2 integrated graphics & audio (shuttle SN41G2)
I've been working on my freevo setup for a few weeks now (problems with hardware, also had the bad luck of buying a Hauppauge PCI that used the CX2388XX chip and not the BT8x8 :-( ) and am now fairly close to my goal. A few issues remain to be properly sorted out though, and hopefully someone on this list has some tips for me. First, my config: Shuttle SN41G2 - Integrated graphics adaptor, GeForce4 MX with 32/64/128MB mem (configurable) - 512MB Crusader PC2100 memory (works best in synch mode) - Onboard nForce2 (RealTek ALC650) audio with optical SP/DIF port on the front - Athlon XP1900+ cpu OS: - Gentoo linux 1.4 rc2 - Kernel 2.4.20 (gentoo patches, work OK with all my other patches so far) - Freevo latest release version - Mplayer || - - Nvidia nforce driver 1.02.56 Connected items: - Pioneer surround receiver w/ AC3/DD/PCM/MPEG decoder. Optical inputs only. - Sony 32" 50Hz TV 1: The integrated graphics adaptor has a TV out that works beautifully in BIOS and Windows XP. Under X11 using NVidias own drivers, I get a decent picture (using SVHS and RGB signalling) but strangely enough the X11 driver is locked to only the 'standard' resolutions of 800x600 & 640x480, both at 60Hz - none of which are proper TV resolutions at all, and while my TV does display 60Hz signals as well as 50Hz, this is certainly not a PAL-B signal. I've tried creating proper (well, what I consider proper anyway) modelines for normal and overscan PAL modes (720x540 & 768x576 @ 50Hz) but the nvidia drivers spat them out and reverted to 800x600, blatantly stating that "this is not a valid TV mode" - uhh, come again? Anyway, I did some digging around and noticed that the framebuffer device seems much more configurable in terms of resolution and frequencies, so I figured I'd look into this as an alternative to X11 - I won't be using the box for normal X apps anyway. Question one then is: has anyone successfully set up a geforce2/3/4 card with TV-out using either the kernel-supplied rivafb or the directfb device drivers, and if so how satisfied were you with the result? 2: I really want to get surround sound using the digital spdif sound out (this was actually one of the determining parameters when I bought this particular SFF). Again, this works beautifully in WinXP, but I am not really satisfied with this under linux/freevo. In a nutshell, I have not been able to get surround sound at all using the optical connector; specifying 6channels in mplayer options makes the digital sound flakey (disappears entirely in some movies) and does not give me more than two channels on the amp. Adding -surround=nn did not help the matter either. Question two: Has anyone tested the alsa drivers with an nforce2 board and spdif outputs and verified if this works? If it does then I'll grab the source and compile the modules. 3: I wound up turning off the WID parameter for mplayer, as I could never get both mpeg2 and avi files to play properly at once with a freevo-supplied window. This helped a lot, but there is still a problem with avis not playing back in the proper aspect ratio and so I was wondering if there was some way of fixing this through lirc or similar.. Question three: Does mplayer provide a way of switching the aspect ratio of a file through either keypresses or lirc after launching the file? Alternatively, does freevo support a per-movie type of optional parameters for mplayer (e.g. a config file in the movie dir that lets me specify source aspect manually)?

I can use -vo xv in mplayer without problems. Maybe your problem is that you are using an out of date XServer? With at least >=4.3 everything should work fine. Or are you somehow talking about running the Xserver on the TV-out or something? -- Benjamin Zeiss --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.

Yeah, that's normal. :-) I get it, too, at least. Both the original and the sorted files report as corrupted by freevo. Check the TV_CHANNELS (?) config var. The awk script I used from the wiki is broken and is missing a comma in the tuple between the first and second items.

I would suggest id3v2 as default because it's not as horrible limited as id3v1 tags. I figured tagging was a given. :-) I'm also assuming that support for OGG tags are included? -- __ / / / __/ Brian Lalor / _ \/__ \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_.__// http://bravo5.org/ --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.

[Freevo-users] tv-out once more...
Hi all, As there has been a lot of discussion on tv-out lately I think it could be appropriate with a short update. Looks like the preferred card is THE Matrox G400 dh. The dxr3/hollywood+ gives good picture quality, but consumes unnecessary cpu on non mpeg1/2 material. The sad thing with both these cards is that they are discontinued products. The question is what to go for when buying new cards. I have a ATI radeon 7000 with tv-out. Works ok by just plugging the tv before booting, BUT I only got the video under x to work with "vesa". And that was t slooow. So I guess nvidia is the only one currently to support tv-out drivers. The problem with nvidia is that there is a great amount of cards beeing marked as for instance "MX440". Some have external videochips, others integrated. So the actual question is what card to buy, considering only tv-out (and reasonable price <100Eur)? thx, Per --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.

[Freevo-users] match_iso.group(1) error
Hello, I am a bit of a linux newbie, but this doesn't seem right. I am running Mandrake 9.1 I downloaded freevo-1.3.1.tar.gz As root in folder /usr/local I ran tar -xvzf freevo* from the /usr/local/freevo-1.3.1 folder I ran ./configure which completed without error. Now, either running ./freevo or ./freevo setup gives me the following: ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "scr/main.py", line 90, in ? import config File "src/config.py", line 316, in ? mntdir = match_iso.group(1) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has not attribute 'group' I looked at the source a little - I have no ISO9660 in the /etc/fstab, so the regex doesn't match, and match_iso is None. Hmm, maybe this should be on the developers list? Anyone ever had this happen? Thanks -Ed --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
