The rsync-freevo script fetches only some ebuilds to use with the dxr3 and the freevo and mmpython snapshots (they won't be in CVS). To all user: please try the new gentoo ebuilds, you can delete all stuff the rsync freevo script added to the local portage tree. To Max: We need xine-ui 0.9.22, 21 is too old, I made some needed patches for Freevo. There is also a new mmpython version out, please make a new ebuild for this, it fixes some bugs (and you don't need the patch in the portage tree anymore).

[Freevo-users] Help (was: xine not playing DVD's,Mplayer instead?)
Hi, I take this posting as a mail I want to write for a long time now. It's not personally :-) keir johnson wrote: I actually tried using 1.3.4, but it doesn't execute properly---hangs, so I had to install only other version I had downloaded which was 1.3.2. One common problem. 'It hangs' doesn't help much. If I don't know what happens, this will never change. I'd like the dvd menu support that xine is supposed to use, but I'm getting sick of 'fixing' each component that is necessary for freevo (already worked alot to make mplayer work right). A second common problem: Freevo has good support for the hardware the developers have, they take care of it. But since I don't have more than one graphic card (and don't need to), users have to help users. You fixed each component. Good, than share your results with the rest. _Everyone_ has write access to the WiKi on the homepage. If each user shares the resultions they have, it would much easier for new users, Freevo could integrate this knowledge. In the future, I like to have some sort of auto detection. Freevo knows what cards you have and will setup correctly, no need to change the deatils. But right now, I get nearly no feedback for help requests. Here some examples: o I developed a way to detect if a disc is a DVD, VCD or SVCD. I send a mail: please test and send results. I only got 1 (!!!) answer. Lucky for you all, this answer helped to solve a bad bug. o A asked for all to write a small doc for plugins. Even if you don't know much about Python, you can document the plugins you use. I got 0 (!!!) answers. o A asked for a slashscreen. OK, I got one answer, but a little bit more would be great. o And skins, this has nothing to do with Python. Help us here, we are no designers. Someone wrote a howto for Freevo. He asked for help to make it better. I guess the answers are below 10. I (and the other developers) write some code. Documenting is a pain in the ass, I know, that's why most features aren't documented. I'm still facing a problem with my capture card (BT878-based) where I'm only getting garbage in top inch or so of picture and no real picture---that will I'm sure burn-up countless hours researching and fixing whatever the problem is. Ask here. If you know the answer some day, please add it to the docs to avoid that the next one has the same problem. (Hope that doesn't sound ungrateful, but frustration is setting in--sorry) Same here. Dischi -- Please do not complain about the coffee.

1.3.2 support for xine...I guess it did, I've made no mods to any files and
it (freevo) is trying to launch xine when I select a DVD. I actually tried

only other version I had downloaded which was 1.3.2. I don't have any
experience with CVS and making sense of the changelogs while not being a
'developer' is no easy task.
Does xine work without freevo ?
And for freevo you need at least xine-ui 0.9.22 and grab latest xine-lib
From personal experiences i think you better want to try out 1.3.4.
remove the cache files before starting the new version in
/var/cache/freevo.
I'd like the dvd menu support that xine is supposed to use, but I'm getting

Well aren't we all sometimes but no need to express that here,
devel-people are spending a lot of there spare time to make this working for you.
Not every specific hardware can be tested and from a software standpoint most
things have to be very recent.

capture card (BT878-based) where I'm only getting garbage in top inch or so
of picture and no real picture---that will I'm sure burn-up countless hours

Again does this work without freevo.
I wish someone would answer my original question (I've posted it twice
now)...can I simply tell freevo to use mplayer instead of xine with respect
to DVD's? (Hope that doesn't sound ungrateful, but frustration is setting
in--sorry)
plugin.activate('video.mplayer')
plugin.remove('video.xine')
for mplayer
plugin.activate('video.xine')
for xine. (default IIRC)

Lucky for you all, this answer helped to solve a bad bug. Hmm keep in mind that testing new cvs code isn't that easy for a user who want to give some feedback at this moment. Anoncvs is behind in fact a week ago i found out it was more then 6 days behind. But found my way to a snapshot but even that is 24 hours behind and sometimes missing important updates in the last 24 hours. But i understand your point. Dischi wrote this plugin as a small python script to test out and posted it to the list, so EVERYONE was able to test it right away... Anyway, I'm glade, I could contribute to freevo in this simple way for the first time and CVS should come back again soon (so SF told all project admins) and then I'll come back to CVS again and maybe I could help a bit more in testing again (need to get tvtime to work smooth and fiddle around with xine support :) Cheers, Manuel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.matronix.de - http://www.elektronik-kompendium.de/public/borchers 19:19:41 up 1 day, 1:34, 1 user, load average: 0.10, 0.04, 0.01 --- 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
[Freevo-users] tvmoviefetch (german clone of xmltv) and TV.xml
Aloha, i want to use tvmoviefetch to get the tv data for geramany, because xmltv doesnt supply them at the moment. so far so good. data is found and TV.xml is generated. if i shorten the xml data to only one station and one day, everything wents fine. if i use the whole generated output, i get the message on the on screen display preparing the programm guide and after a while: tv data is corrupt. on the console where i started freevo this is displayed: Couldn't load the TV Guide, got an exception!
