Re: [Freevo-users] Re: Input Gain on SBLive
Hi Zeratul, quick question for you. What is the source you record from on your SBLive? On mine Aux seems to control the output volume (like line1 did in oss) but I haven't been able to find the magic combination of captured channels to make my recordings have sound. I tried turning capture on for both the capture and the aux channels, but it didn't seem to make any difference. Thanks in advance. .--[ Zeratul wrote (Wed, Dec 03, 2003 at 04:19:42PM +0100) ]-- | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: | | I have the same problem with the overdriven sound actually.

You need to get the patches from bytesex.org for the kernel (v4l2 patches), and the saa7134 drivers. Please note that currently the patches are for 2.4.22-pre7 so I don't think they apply well to 2.4.20. You should go with the latest snapshots for saa7134 for your card, 0.2.8 has some issues. I don't have a saa7134 card so I can't say for sure. My saa7130 based card works fine with 0.2.8 though. Also, after you've managed to get it working with xawtv, you should check your mplayer version, older mplayer versions don't mute/unmute the audio properly. Your mplayer should be compiled with v4l2 support, and you should modify the arguments for mplayer to use v4l2 instead of v4l. T.C.

RE: [Freevo-users] What's the best hardware to use
your cheapest and easiest route would be to use a VGA to video converter. I have one that is powered from the usb bus and does quite well for video and freevo display. I've switched to this to avoid the nightmares that are TV out under linux. dxr3 has the best tv out, but it takes quite a bit of processing power unless you are recording in mpeg1 or mpeg2 only, and games are not an option this way. but then I'm trying to find a solution that I can reproduce 100 times for friends, family and co-workers, so a little drop in tv out quality is not a problem. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gordon Staines Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 11:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Freevo-users] What's the best hardware to use Hi, Im thinking about putting together a multimedia PC to use as a TV and DVD Player etc. I want to connect this to my TV just like my regular VCR etc. My current PC has a TV out, but the signal doesnt appear to stretch to the edges of my TV screen and looks rather ugly.

It should be trivial to create a basic player but I don't have the hardware to work on (not that I have lots of free time either!). Indeed :) but the way i see it is that the ivtv-fb driver runs in OSD mem of the pvr-350 card. Meaning display manager is loaded in the framebuffer and due to it's limitation's as it is not a grahpic card it hasn't got enough umph to playback any other video format like divx. The only way to support this is to load freevo in OSD, no problem, then when encoder/decoder kicks in OSD must be disabled and let it flow through the tv-out. When exiting, OSD is enabled again hence the window manager. IIRC this is how Myth does it. Is this what you meant Rob or are there other approaches ? Yes, this is how we'd handle it. Freevo/pygame/SDL would run using the framebuffer or framebuffer+fb X server. The video player would be mpeg only and we would feed mpeg data to /dev/video16 (or whatever the decoder is).

Re: [Freevo-users] What's the best hardware to use
I find the quality of my G400 excellent under directfb - i got one of ebay for ~20 bucks or so and made the cable myself. It takes some hassle to set up directb, and the screen goes blank when mplayer initializes it etc, but the main thing is that it outputs at true tv res, 720x480 (ntsc) not scaling 800x600 or 640x480 like most graphics cards and converters do. It also overscans perfectly, just like a dvd player would do. I'm only using a p2-400 with it, but performance is fine playing back divx's, passing ac3 audio (where available) out through a cheap-o trident 4mx card. Most divx's are using 30% cpu or less, as mplayer directfb offload a lot of the work to the matrox card. The only thing is your limited to directfb apps - and in the case of xmame, which can use it - won't scale things, it will try to use a modline to adjust the resolution, which won't work with the fixed resolution the directfb tv output is working at (mplayer scales perfectly). Also factor in that from what I've heard xine's directfb output is broken, so dvd's are via mplayer only, which doesn't support dvd menus.

SV: [Freevo-users] DVD Crash and Channels incorrect
I have noticed that if one or more of the channels are configured wrongly, freevo (or something) gets stuck on one channel all the time. Try to define jsut two or three (that you're certain of) and see if you can switch between them. You can also try TV_CHANNELS = None, to let freevo try to grok for itself which you have. You should also check the dox pages for sample scripts that eats TV.xml and prints (hopefully :) a TV_CHANNELS entry which you can copy/paste. /PS -Ursprungligt meddelande- Från: Matthew Carpenter Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: 2003-12-04 21:46 Ämne: [Freevo-users] DVD Crash and Channels incorrect Hello- I recently turned my rough media pc into a more Refined Media Center with the help of Freevo. Freevo's lynx-install worked great and with the exception of us-cable being detected instead of us-bcast we were good to go. Xine and MPlayer were already installed so video-playing, audio-playing, and picture viewing have been great! TV however has been a serious issue. I have not installed tvtime, that is compiling right now. I installed XMLTV, which would be a nice option for the Freevo installer, which gave me the channels and programming. First off, it appears that my tuner is consistently one channel (+-) off, eg CH3 shows up as CH4, CH8 as CH9, etc... which makes scheduling recording times difficult. This is across the board (KWinTV, xawtv, zapping, etc...) Secondly, Freevo doesn't seem change the channels for me. It just stays where it was last?? DVD's have also been a problem. Sticking in a DVD after loading Freevo, or starting Freevo with a DVD in the drive causes Freevo to crash without fail with a stack trace including many threads and one dvdinfo.pl? Does this ring a bell? Thanks in advance! Freevo does, after all, rock :) Matt --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program. Does SourceForge.net help you be more productive?

[Freevo-users] Freevo 1.4 with Debian Woody
Using the instructions from the Freevo web site, I installed Freevo 1.4 and the Freevo runtime under a non-root user on my Debian Woody machine. Under X (freevo.conf: display=x11), while logged in as the non-root user, freevo comes up fine. Using the framebuffer (freevo.conf: display=fbdev), however, I get the following exception when trying to execute freevo as the non-root user: ... File .../freevo/freevo-1.4/src/osd.py, line 405, in __init__ pygame.display.init() pygame.error: No available video device Thinking this was because of some permission problem trying to access the framebuffer device, I added the non-root user to the video group (which is the group assigned to the /dev/fb* entries). No change. Then, I noticed that the video group did not have read permission on the /dev/fb* entries, so I added those. I was still unable to get freevo to work, but I got a little bit different exception: ... File .../freevo/freevo-1.4/src/osd.py, line 405, in __init__ pygame.display.init() pygame.error: No I/O port permissions At this point, I had no idea where to look next (I actually looked at the SDL source code for the initialize function involved, but didn't have time to really study it). So, I tried executing freevo as root. This worked, but the screen looked awful (like it was not enough color depth or something). Thus, I have two questions: 1. Why, using fbdev, can't I run freevo as a non-root user? 2. Why, using fbdev, does the screen look so rough? Brad --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.

[Freevo-users] Jerky TV with ATI TV Wonder and Freevo
I am thrilled to have Freevo all installed and working nicely. My system consists of a Intel Celeron 1.1A Ghz with 256 MB RAM on a VIA motherboard. The tuner card I am using is an ATI TV Wonder (not the VE)with B878 chip. There are couple of problems that I have no clue on and I thought some of you can enlighten me on: 1. I can use xawtv to watch tv and its works flawlessly, albeit in a smaller window. TV reception is smooth when in xawtv. But when I want to watch TV in Freevo, the full screen display is jerky with dropped frames and stuttering. What is the reason for this? 2. I have an external sound cord connecting the sound-out of the TV Wonder card to the sound-in of the integrated sound of the motherboard. Sound works fine in xawtv, but when I am in Freevo, I do not hear any sound with TV reception! What am I doing wrong? I will appreciate any help or suggestion you guys can provide.
