[Freevo-users] two video drivers
I have a via EPIA motherboard and want to know if I can have two video drivers installed. I would like to test two different drivers. And, from what I understand, the framebuffer driver only works outside of GUI. And, so I want to use framebuffer driver when outside of X and other driver when using GUI. Is this possbile?
Re: [Freevo-users] autostart
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Well, I can't say without knowing more about your specific configuration, but here is what works for my Debian box: * Install Gnome and the GDM (the Gnome Display Manager) * Create a user named "freevo" * Copy one of the existing session scripts in /etc/gdm/Sessions and edit the last bit to launch Freevo (I actually launch mine within the EvilWM shell because I can easily get a terminal window with ctrl-alt-enter) * Ensure you can log in as your freevo user with your newly created session * Edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf to auto-login as the freevo user Also (and you only want to do this if you know what you are doing), I wrapped the Freevo startup script with one of my own that does a "sudo shutdown -h now". That way, turning on the box starts the software and exiting the Freevo software shuts down the box--kind of like an appliance PC. As far as I know, exporting $USER should not necessarily come into play. -Brian On Thursday, September 4, 2003, at 03:58 PM, Torsten Stern wrote: Hi there, i’m really new in linux and espacially in freevo ;o) i get freevo to work...great...but i can’t start it automatically on bootup.

[Freevo-users] Re: [Freevo-devel] record_client/server
Hi, I have just committed changes to cvs and Freevo main now uses record_client/server for recording. There are some docs in the Wiki on running the recording server and this effectively replaces the usage of record_daemon.py from cron. I have updated the _init scripts in the boot/ directory to use the helper scipts in src/helpers/. To test run record_server.py edit your config apropriately (see Wiki) and run ./freevo recordserver start. As stated before the new screens have some minor UI issues (hint CH+/- are used to toggle UI controlls right now - like in the search interface). I am sure there are some other things like that but now that this stuff is on the main branch people will work on it. ;) -Rob Rob Shortt wrote: Hi all, The record_client/server interface is at a point now where I think Freevo main should be using it. The server has been rock solid for me (and others) and I _never_ miss recordings. Of course it also comes with some nice features. Just to refresh: -record_server is a persistant process that can be started with an rc style boot script or run from inittab - a seperate process from Freevo main. -it is network aware, listening for client connections. The client and server communicate via XML-RPC. -record_client.py is an importable module for communicating with the server in another process. You can build other apps and easily have them get info from the server. For example Mike Ruelle has been experimenting with a desktop app. The web interface and my Freevo main files use this. -favorites: configurable favorites. Record shows whenever they appear, or only on specific days, channels, timeslots, or a combination of these. This area could still use some attention and I expect that people will chip in once everyone is using it. ;) For example favorites claim to support priority of one favorite over another but this has no affect now. -record_server keeps its persistant data as a pickle file in xml format. This is a real python object pickled to a file so you have an object oriented interface to your data. Because the file is in xml format you can easily open it in an editor and muck with it if you wish. -new tv / recording screens in Freevo main, see: http://ettin.danicar.net/freevo/thumb0.html for details. These shots are a bit out of date. Notice the search interface? ;) -record_server uses the plugin interface for recording. Right now there are two recording plugins, generic_record and ivtv_record. generic_record is the default and it uses VCR_CMD the same way record_daemon does. ivtv_record is a recording plugin made for the WinTV PVR-250/350 cards and it handles the actual recording itself. I have seen some requests for DVB card support... I think these cards behave similarly to ivtv cards so I don't think it would be a big deal to build a plugin for those cards as well. Among the features I would like to have added to record_server: -The ability to control an in progress recording. You should be able to stop recording at the click of a button and it would be nice to be able to extend a running recording lets say your favorite sports event is running overtime and you don't want the end to be chopped off. -have record_server be able to talk to Freevo main. For example if you are watching TV through Freevo and record_server wants to record then it should let you know and give you a choice of what to do. Right now it just works the other way around - if you are recording it won't let you watch TV. -polish off favorites support. -handle the task of grabbing XMLTV listings. -leverage the power of sqlite! All kinds of possibilities here. OK, so to my point here. :) Right now in CVS there are two files on a branch tag (new_record), src/tv.py and src/tvguide.py. These files are needed to have Freevo main talk to record_server. I would like to merge these files to the head and have this the default recording interface. If there are any concerns or suggestions I would like to hear them, also it is possible there is something that I have missed. Oh yeah, I will also write a how-to document for users and developers for record_client/server.

Re: [Freevo-users] Problem with 1.3.4 Install
Jim, It's a known issue. You need to use the system python package to compile *.pyo files (done by the make install step). if you change the variable passed to --compile to 1, then it'll only generate *.pyc files and that should work fine with the runtime supplied freevo_python.

[Freevo-users] Strange playback issues
Hi folks, When trying to watch the TV, I cannot understand why freevo sometimes uses mplayer and sometime another player (the one that matches the help screen). Sometimes, I will switch on TV and will press the '+' key to turn up the volume, but I get mplayer's A/V sync prompt. Other times, it works. Pressing the up arrow (normally changes channels) in mplayer causes a 10s delay (by design). Why is it random which player it uses? What is the other player? TIA! -- Cheers!

Traceback (most recent call last):

[Freevo-users] Audio madness! Please help me understand
OK, folks, I'm not a newbie to linux, nor am I especially dumb. However, I'm having a real hard time understanding the audio needed to get all this stuff working. In using the latest CVS version as of 9/3. System: 1.1G Intel Celeron (256K cache) with 512M memory Mandrake Linux 9.1 ATI TV Wonder VE Here's part of my problem: I have a USB Radio that comes in through a jack on the audio card. Right now, I have it coming into the LineIn jack (so XMMS can play it and control the volume), and I have the output of the TV card going to the MicIn jack (I know that is less than ideal -- I'm open for suggestions). That system has some nice speakers attached, and I use it as a music server and web server in the house. I also suffer from the sound delay issue: The sync is about 1s off, and very annoying. So, I basically use Freevo as a tape recorder, to record my favorite shows. I would like to watch live TV, but can't until we get that resolved. I guess my big question is regarding the relationship between /dev/dsp, amixer, Capture and IGAIN controls, and where to set up everything. Specifically, there isn't much documentation on how to adjust the local_config.py to handle strange circumstances. For instance, what is the difference between /dev/sound/dsp and /dev/dsp? If I want to record from the microphone, how do I note that in local_config? If I figure out what amixer commands to use, how do I insert them into freevo? I found some indication in one email chain that the IGAIN control (or was it Capture?) was reset after certain operations. Has that been fixed in CVS? Here's my current portion of local_config.py (relevant portions). AUDIO_DEVICE = '/dev/sound/dsp' # e.g.: /dev/dsp0, /dev/audio, /dev/alsa/? AUDIO_INPUT_DEVICE = '/dev/sound/dsp' # e.g.: /dev/dsp0, /dev/audio, /dev/alsa/? MAJOR_AUDIO_CTRL = 'VOL' # Freevo takes control over one audio ctrl # # 'VOL', 'PCM' 'OGAIN' etc. CONTROL_ALL_AUDIO = 1 # Should Freevo take complete control of audio MAX_VOLUME = 90 # Set what you want maximum volume level to be. DEFAULT_VOLUME = 40 # Set default volume level. TV_IN_VOLUME = 60 # Set this to your preferred level 0-100. VCR_IN_VOLUME = 90 # If you use different input from TV DEV_MIXER = '/dev/sound/mixer' # mixer device -- Cheers! Mike

[Freevo-users] Timeshift/mp1e -- a/v sync problems after v4l2 upgrade.
Dave, I've spent a lot of time trying to get mp1e to record properly outside of freevo. I've never been able to get the a/v sync correct in mp1e. If you look at the chatter on nvrec-devel on sourceforge, you'll find this has always been a problem. The claim is that if you ever get a/v sync to work, you're just damn lucky. I have a post in there and the developer gave me some pointers as to where in the code things could be hacked. I struck out. I did find that using ALSA instead of OSS had some improvement, but it eventually when out of sync. Did you ever get mp1e from CVS to have good sync? If you were using an older version of mp1e, my only suggestion is to go back. I starting using nvrec from CVS instead of mp1e, and the a/v sync is perfect. Too bad because mp1e is really fast, has good quality, and the file sizes are small relative to other encoders.

[Freevo-users] Timeshift/mp1e -- a/v sync problems after v4l2 upgrade.
Hello, I spent some time upgrading my rig to v4l2, which involved upgrading the bttv module from 0.7.107 to 0.9.11. This resulted in some good news and some bad news: the v4l2 interface seems to work to allow channel selection from timeshift.py, but the audio/video sync in mp1e when using the new driver is awful. I've tried to isolate the problem by dumping mp1e output to a file with the old driver, rmmodding it, modprobing the new driver, and repeating, and with 0.9.11, the video seems quite a bit ahead of the audio. Any ideas? Googling around, I saw some chatter about Alsa's OSS emulation being problematic and what not, but the fact that the A/V sync is near-perfect with the old bttv and terrible with the new bttv leads me to let Alsa off the hook. BTW, I'm using a recent CVS version of mp1e. -Dave --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ___ Freevo-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
Re: AW: [Freevo-users] Problem getting freevo to recognize that a CD- ROM has been inserted - solved!
The documentation seems to suggest that you need to have root authority to access the TV card. I haven't tried it myself. See section "2.3.11 Booting into Freevo" of the Wiki where it says this and suggests using sudo to start freevo. Maybe the docs need to be corrected? Or maybe I'm not reading them right. "After freevo has been installed correctly and verified to work when run from the command prompt, the system can be configured for standalone operation where freevo will startup automatically without the need for entering a username and password. Standalone operation implies that the system will be somewhat 'insecure' as freevo needs root priviledges for mplayer to access TV Capture cards properly."

[Freevo-users] German TV listings and how to get them...
Hi, currently, the servers for german XMLTV listings (www.szing.at and yasd.cc) seem to be not working. So I am searching for alternatives to tv_grab_de. Ben Buksch has written something which should be able to get the TV listings from TV-Movie in XMLTV format (see http://www.bucksch.com/1/projects/various/xmltv/). Perhaps I will give this one a try in the next few days. Has anyone tried any XMLTV grabbers for german listings? Are there any experiences about thst?

It seems that mencoder does not change the rate, but only assumes that the sample rate matches the one you entered in the command line. Perhaps you should play around with this.

Re: [Freevo-users] Problem getting freevo to recognize that a CD-ROM has been inserted - solved!
Last night I figured out what was wrong by studying the source code. I don't know Python, but the code was easy enough to follow. My problem was this: there is a thread that reads the device file (/dev/hdb) to determine if a CD has been inserted into the drive. On my Mandrake box anyone can do this, but on the SuSE box you need to be root. I guess few people have had this problem because they implemented the TV watching module, which requires freevo to be run via sudo to access the TV card. Since I removed that module (I just want to watch my DivX and VCD collection on TV) I didn't need to run freevo as anything more than an ordinary user. I logged in as root and changed /dev/hdb to allow all users to read from it and that did the trick. Another good thing I discovered by browsing the source is that you can define DEBUG=2 in your local_conf.py and get lots of helpful messages sent to the system console. That helped me figure out that freevo wasn't even trying to mount my CD. Everything works great now. Freevo is exactly what I needed! Thanks to the authors and to everyone who helped. James Simmons Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri wrote: Next relase should deal ok with supermount devices, because now it try to recognize drives based on mount points too (/mnt/cdrom[0-9]*) Also, freevo mount/unmount devices itself.

If you have display=x11 set, Freevo will start mplayer with -vo xv,sdl,x11, When you don't have X running, xv will fail, but sdl should also work on framebuffer. So it works for X and framebuffer. Aber the display=vesafb. We should add some extra checking there. This is _not_ the display setting for mplayer, it's for Freevo. Freevo doesn't know about vesafb so some stuff will be created wrong. Current CVS will auto switch between fbdev and x11 so the problem should be gone.
