[Freevo-users] TV out resolution on a ATI AIWonder card? (Was DirectFB help)

2004-01-12 Thread Bill
Does anyone here know what the output resolution is on the AIW card? I plan
on using the s-video out on the card. I am still fighting with a Gentoo
install (first time I ever tried to use Gentoo) but once its working I plan
on installing Freevo and making it a dedicated recorder.

PS - I ended up picking up a KT4VM board with a Athlon 2400+ for the MB.

Re: [Freevo-users] DirectFB help

2004-01-12 Thread Jesper Skov
The magic bit of information that made it all work for me in the end,
was the realization that the TV output on the G450 only does 720x576.

When I grabbed at 758x576 from the TV card, I would get horrible judder
on playback. Grabbing at 720x576 seems to have taken care of the problem
- of course, I don't get max resolution, but it's nothing that I notice
(and it sure beats the judder).

It should, it works for me using X. You need access to all devices
freevo needs (like /dev/dsp0). But for some reasons, framebuffer
output doesn't work for me as user. It's more a SDL problem than a
freevo one.

RE: [Freevo-users] Setting up a freevo box on MSI Hermes 651P...

2004-01-12 Thread Gray, Tim
good luck getting mplayer to play anything fullscreen on any framebuffer
other than the Matrox G400. 

and if you do find a way to get mplayer to play fullscreen on the generic
framebuffer...  please let me know!

I strongly suggest you go the X window route to get mplayer to scale
fullscreen, do not use a window manager as that adds only un-needed bloat,
specifying a single line to start freevo in your .xinitrc should do the job.

use the sis driver in Xfree86.  although the vesa driver also works with
this chipset and still enables the XV playback acceleration on mpeg2 files.

Also cince you have i810 for your audio, you are also suffering with the
chipset limitations... the latest alsa fixes most of those, the OSS drivers
I believe are legacy as alsa is now the standard for linux sound as of
2.4.6..

you MUST set mplayer to record at 48000 if you are recording from the
line-in. and the sound is cleaner if you are able to force the sound output
to 48000.

It sounds like your machine has the same hardware my micro-ATX motherboard
has..(except for the tv out... that is nice that yours has that.)

Hi,
I am currently setting up a freevo box on a MSI Hermes 651P. I would like to
share my experiences, problems and solutions I found out. Perhaps someone is
interested...
Regards,
Thorsten



1. The idea
===

Last year, I began to digtize some old videotapes. I also began to use my
computer as a video recorder and I also collected some shows in divx format.
I did this with Windows XP on a relatively loud box...
I found out that Windows did not let me do exactly the things I wanted to,
so I installed a linux partition. I decided for Debian Woody. I muddled
around with mythTV a little bit, but it never really worked as desired
(sorry, Ben...). Eventually I came across freevo 1.3.4. That looked really
good. I learned a little bit about python which also turned out to be really
cool and very readable.
What I liked most with freevo was that it uses specialized software for each
task. So I could (e.g.) test mplayer alone without invoking the whole thing
first. 
But my box was very loud and very big. So I started to think about building
a specialized box for all the freevo tasks. I decided for a MSI Hermes 651P.
In the magazin C't, they wrote that this box had a very good TV-Out and I
like how the box looks.

2. The hardware
===

Ok, that's what I put into...

1. CPU Intel Pentium 4, 2,66 GHz
2. 512MB Kingston Value Ram (ECC)
3. Harddisk Seagate 160 GB, 7200 RPM
4. DVD LiteOn 

All the components are relatively silent, except the DVD. 

I have also bought a chep keyboard. Currently, I am using an old 15''
screen, not the TV


3. Installing the system
 
 
After putting everything in the box, I installed a basic debian woody
installation. I created a special 50G partition with reiserFS for the
multimedia data. As kernel, I started with 2.4.18 and switched to 2.4.20 a
little bit later. Everything went very fast and smooth in this stage. 
I also set up the network, so I could use my old box (aka loudbox) as an
internet gateway for the new box (aka silentbox). I muddled around with the
kernel on loudbox, so I had a hard time seeting up this, including ifconfig,
iptables etc.


4. Installing freevo


Because I wanted to do the installation via apt, I have changed the
sources.list file to point to a debian distribution site (ftp.de.debian.org)
and to the sites mentioned in the installation doc of freevo. I then
realized that marillat.free.fr does not contain the packages any more. I had
to switch to hpisi.nerim.net.
Most of the parts of freevo (and mplayer) need packages at least from debian
testing, so I changed apt.conf to look after testing first. My apt.conf
looks like this:
APT::Default-Release "testing";
APT::Cache-Limit "12582912"; 
The second line is needed because of some problems when updating from more
than one source (on my machine...)

Then I did 
 apt-get update 
to get all the package information.
Afterwards, 
apt-get -s install freevo
to simulate the installation of freevo. 

This lead (among others) to some problem with package KDE. I want to use
freevo from console in frame buffer mode directly and I am not really
inetrested in X-based things on this box, so I did
apt-get remove kde
to get rid of that problem.
(This should also work when you are actually using kde. The package is only
a virtual one without files in it.)

In the end, I did apt-get install freevo a few times. If have only an ISDN
connection and especially the things from hpisi.nerim.net needed a few
tries. In the end, all the freevo files were installed. 

5. Starting freevo the first time, getting to

Today I tested my Nec ND1300A (DVD+- RW) in my freevo box and it slows down

It sounds silent but I should get a psu fan that is more silent because it

5. Starting freevo the first time, getting to work the video output
===

After typing 
freevo
freevo did not really start. It seemed that freevo tried to run with a resolution of 
800x600, which the generic fbdev driver did not really like. So I set the resolution 
in /etc/freevo/freevo.conf to 640x480 just to make it work. Then, freevo really 
started. 
But it seems that there were not that much colors...
This was the time when I realized that I had to watch out for a better driver for the 
graphics adapter of my box. I googled around a little bit, but I was not able to find 
really good things about my graphics chip. This was last Saturday, late in the 
evening...

The next morning, my head was a little bit clearer and I searched after "SIS 651" 
instead of "SIS651" and found the page of Thomas Winischhofer 
(http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsisvga.shtml). So I learned, that the graphics part 
of SiS 651 is compatible to the graphics adapter SiS 315 series, which is supported in 
the 2.4.20 kernel sources. A few kernel compiler runs later, I've got the little 
penguin in the corner of the screen while starting up... 
I could also switch the video mode using fbset. I inserted the line
append="video=sisfb:mode:800x600x32,mem:12288,rate=60" 
This seems to be the best mode for th

Hi,
to track such things on my system, the following approach works fine...

First, find the file config.py. Change the line 
DEBUG = 0
to 
DEBUG = 1  (or something > 1)

Run freevo and do whatever is not working.
Shutdown freevo.

Have a look at the directory /tmp/freevo. There, you should find a file named 
main-0.log or main-1000.log or something similar. You should find the calls freevo 
tried to perform in order to play your CD. (For example something with mplayer 
cdda:)
Try to execute this call directly from your command line. mplayer should give you some 
hints.

Regards,
Thorsten

RE: [Freevo-users] Firebird.py update.

2004-01-12 Thread Robert Parker
This may be a bit off-thread but Opera browser has a "kiosk" mode that runs without 
any window decoration (and uses "spatial nagivation" i.e. shift+cursorKey movement 
jumps to the nearest hyperlink in that chosen direction). Could Opera be launched from 
freevo and do what you want ?

Opera seem quite keen on the TV/browser combination (see their iTV link)

Yes, I posted about the same problem last week.  But I didn't get any
replies or hints about how to track it down.  I presume as you can rip the
tracks that, like me, your installation of cdparanoia works fine from the
command line.  I tried it on a CD-RW drive and a CD-ROM drive.

I wondered if it could be related to the drives being accessed through
ide-scsi, but I thought that would be such a common configuration that
others would have had the same problem if it was that.

I presume the answer lies in the /var/log files, but it's not obvious to me
how to track it down.  If you get any replies offlist, or work it out for
yourself, please let me know!

If typing 'freevo' makes it start, then 'which freevo' will tell you where
the binaries are.

If you have locate installed and running, then 'locate freevo' will give
you a listing of all files with 'freevo' in the title.

If all that fails, try 'man find' to read the manual for the find command,
it lets you do a brute force search of the entire drive (or /usr or
/usr/local or whatever you specify)

Yes, mplayer may not have cdda support compiled in. Set DEBUG=1 in
your local_conf.py to get the string mplayer is started with. Try this
outside freevo and see the error message.

No, that's strange.

Re: [Freevo-users] Firebird.py update.

2004-01-12 Thread Mark Benson
I am looking at using firebird too. I have worked on various 'TV' based
systems and the most common solution I have seen to this problem is (and
this is what I am attempting when I have the time) is to run the browser
(firebird in our case) without borders or any menu bars and simply have it
load up a HTML interface that is TV Safe and that allows you to navigate
(i.e. provides a URL bar at the very least and can include anything else you
need or want for fast browsing).
