[Freevo-users] DXR3 Wiki page
I've just gone through the process of getting my DXR3 card working with Freevo, and there are a couple of things that seem to be incorrect on the Wiki page. Specifically, the paths to the SDL patches seem to have changed -- I don't see the patches at all in the runtime package, and they're in contrib/rpm in the 1.4.1 source tarball now. Also, there's no gcc3 patch that I can see, and one does not seem to be needed any longer. Finally, for me at least the first run of autogen.sh for SDL spat out lots of errors and didn't correctly create the Makefiles. I almost gave up at that point (C I'm fine with, but autoconf is not something I've spent any time working with beyond running ./configure), but on a whim I ran it again and then it worked -- nothing changed that I can see. Anyway. I'm not sure what the etiquette is with respect to modifying Wiki pages, and I'm also not sure if my experience (particularly with the patch paths) is Gentoo-specific or if it applies regardless of distro. Advice on both counts?

[Freevo-users] Sorry - Record Problem in 1.4.1
I assumed the /etc/freevo/freevo.conf location of mencoder was the one that was used. Then I saw /usr/local/bin/mencoder in the logs I sent to you all. Sorry that I didn't notice that before. /usr/bin/mencoder is the ticket. Now I have to figure out how to make non-silent movies :) Apparently, /dev/dsp isn't cutting it.

Turned out to be the -autosync stuff in MPLAYER_ARGS_DEF. Pulled that out, and now I have what appears to be correct playback of MPEG-4. Stuck the same bits in for MPEG files (I record from a DVB-T card, so I've got lots of lovely MPEG-2 floating around with wacky bitrates that the DXR3 isn't too thrilled about) and those play more or less correctly now, too. The only downside to this is that the prebuf thing really slows down skipping. But given a choice between buggered AV sync and slower skipping, I know which one I'm taking...

I used MPLAYER_ARGS['avi'] instead, and it inserted the -vo stuff correctly. It still also inserted "-vo dxr3", but mplayer seems to take the last instance of -vo it finds so it works anyway. However, there seems to be something else being added by Freevo which buggers up the sync anyway -- need to sit down and go through all of them to figure out what exactly is interfering.

[Freevo-users] RecordServer not recording in 1.4.1
I am running the record server from inittab with the respawn option as root. Shows are being scheduled but no video files show up in the DIR_RECORD directory.

[Freevo-users] mplayer-options in video segment of fxd file, broken??
I'm sure we all struggle with the jungle of image formats, especially if you own a widescreen TV. With the inclusion of a per-filetype option in the local config a lot has improved, but I still findmyself in need of setting a specific set of crop and resize and/or aspect ratio options for a given movie and so far I've been forced to change the global option to get this working. Looking at the fxd file spec, there is an mplayer option tag which ought to allow for the use of local overrides of which parameters get sent to mplayer, but it appears to be ignored by the parser. I'm sure that this should work if I just set the tag correctly, unfortunately the wiki page for fxdfile doesn't explain this option properly at all. Hopefully someone will know how to help me out on this? Cheers, Ole Andre --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials. Become an expert in LINUX or just sharpen your skills.
