[Freevo-users] WG: Problems when downloading files with freevo webserver
Hi,
I have just encountered some problems when trying to download files with the freevo
webserver.
When clicking on the download link, it did load about the first 64k, but not further.
In the webserver log file (/tmp/freevo/webserver-1001.log) I found
...Warning! request.finish called twice
and two lines down
...Failure: exceptions.RuntimeError: Producer was not unregistered for
/library.rpy/mm/Videos/...
I have changed some lines in /usr/share/freevo/htdocs/library.rpy as given below.
It seems that the server needs the result of File().render to know that it has to keep
the connection open.
request.finish is called inside File().render, so you won't need to do it yourself.
Regards,
Thorsten

[Freevo-users] MPlayer catches keypresses instead of slave mode?
Hi, I have come across a problem I could not track down yet. It seems like mplayer does not really run in slave mode when playing movies, bit it does when playing music. Normally when playing a movie with freevo, I could use the + and - keys on the numpad to increase or decrease the volume. Since a few days, I have to press * and / to do so. When playing music, + and - works fine. It just seems that (when playing movies) mplayer catches the keyboard commands directly instead of freevo catching them and sending the commands to mplayer. (This is what I assume now, I am not sure if my theories are correct.) I have switched on the debug output for mplayer. The command line being called contains -slave. (I have installed freevo a week ago using the debian package.) In case nobody knows about this problem: Could someone point me in the right direction to track down this problem?

RE: [Freevo-users] ATI R128 Considered Harmful--recommendations?
Note: those calibration discs are only to set your TV to the DVD's output. your dvd player is very likely not putting out a perfect NTSC/PAL signal and can only be measured with a video waveform monitor. I mention this as I have 2 DVD players, one of which is darker than the other, and both are darker than the HD cableTV box. how close is the freevo output to a cable tv or sattelite box output? finally, you can avoid all of that by simply buying a cheap TBC (time base corrector) to adjust your frevo's output to match that of your other components. I used a cheap no brand one sold to dub video tapes that had 2 knobs to adjust brightness and hue to decrease the video out of the cable box. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Victor Putz Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 12:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] ATI R128 Considered Harmful--recommendations? Hmm, sounds like a fairly strong recommendation for the G400, even without the cable (I built my own LIRC reciever, so I don't mind having to make the cable if I need). One thing I've heard is that the TV-out-enabled second display on the G400 is unaccelerated, whatever that means (not sure if it meant no overlay support, no xv support, what). I'm using the freevo for recording, playback, and Mame under X--is the G400 unimpaired with all these? Also--and this is fairly important to me--is the TV-out on the G400 adjustable in terms of saturation/color balance/etc? I'm unable to adjust the R128 (as far as I can tell) and it's far too bright (the TV is set correctly according to my Avia calibration DVD, but the TV-out from the R128 has no idea what black is). Thanks; I appreciate the help. All things considered, setting up the video for the Freevo is fairly confusing (X11? dxr3? Framebuffer?) even without the driver issues. I *did* get the R128 working, by the way (a debian update silently wrote over my compiled driver), but if the G400 is well-supported, I'll watch auctions for it.

AW: [Freevo-users] startup failure
Hi,
the two messages do not mean anything harmful. The first is only an information. The
second just tells you that your remote control won't work (if you have one...).
You also do not need a TV card to make freevo work.
Freevo always writes some log files. On my system, they can be found in /tmp/freevo
and they are called main-0.log, main-1000.log or similar.
To make freevo more verbose, find the line
DEBUG = 0
in config.py and set it to
DEBUG = 1 (higher numbers mean more output)
config.py is in /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo on my system, but that may
differ.
Kind regards,
Thorsten

[Freevo-users] Re: ATI R128 Considered Harmful--recommendations?
how close is the freevo output to a cable tv or sattelite box output? VERY washed out. There is a noticeable difference when I tune my VCR or cable box to a channel (both of which look about the same) and switch to the Freevo. This is particularly noticeable in dark scenes (where the freevo's black seems quite grey but the scene has lower contrast) or brightly colored pictures (such as the channel guide or any animation). I can adjust the TV tuner overlay with some app or another (xvidtune, maybe--can't remember) but the problem is with the tv-out signal, I believe, since it looks fine on the monitor... although about the only time I notice it with non-video items is during any MAME gaming (vector games are INCREDIBLY hard to view on the TV, although that may just be a problem in general). finally, you can avoid all of that by simply buying a cheap TBC (time base corrector) to adjust your frevo's output to match that of your other components. O! Ok, that could be the answer I'm looking for. Of course, to a great extent, me worrying about such niceties as color balance and saturation is a bit silly since this freevo is running on a celeron 300 overclocked to 450 MHz connected to a circa 1992 Sanyo TV through a composite cable (not even S-vid!). When my recorded video is 320x240 with compression artifacts... well, saying the black level just doesn't look right just doesn't have much oomph. Many thanks for the help, folks. I think I will monitor ebay auctions for a cheap G400 just in case, but other than that will continue plugging along with the current setup. --VPutz --- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.

RE: [Freevo-users] Re: ATI R128 Considered Harmful--recommendatio ns?
this sounds like a unterminated video problem. if you are handy with a soldering iron and made your own cable, put a 75 ohm resistor across the video signal pin (center of the RCA cable) to ground. Or modify a RCA cable to have a 75 ohm resistor across the center and outside.. this will either correct the problem or simply darken the video to the point that it's too dark. I get that on my professional video equipment in my edit suite when I forget to install a terminator on my video wiring. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Victor Putz Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 10:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Freevo-users] Re: ATI R128 Considered Harmful--recommendations? how close is the freevo output to a cable tv or sattelite box output?

That is like saying you want Freevo to draw outside of the tv signal which doesn't make sense. Your dxr3 (or any tv output method / encoder / xserver / drivers) is responsible for actually overscanning the picture. Many xservers that support tv-out also have an overscan setting for this, the same is true for some framebuffer drivers, and some just overscan a certain amount automatically. So, if your tv-out is overscanning 30 pixels horizontally and in Freevo your OSD_OVERSCAN_X is only set to 20 then freevo will draw things outside of your visible tv border, outside of the safe action area. You would need at least a value of 30 (probably a bit more) for OSD_OVERSCAN_X to make it look right. Our overscan settings really determine what Freevo thinks is the safe action area. so yes it works, except that the freevo GUI is overscanning too far. It sounds like your dxr3 is overscanning too far and you need to tell Freevo just how much.

RE: [Freevo-users] dxr3 and libSDL
and freevo using the dxr3 output happily put's things right up to the edge of the video. the clock and other things including the idlebar needs to be moved in and down significantly. I.E. it's easier to simply make them positionable.. and allow overscan setting to move them in or out + or - 20 percent. on my lcd projector looking at the ntsc signal, freevo uses every inch of the video frame and put's the clock right at the edge. so on a television it will be 1/2 off or more. -Original Message- From: Rob Shortt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 11:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] dxr3 and libSDL For everyone, this is an important read: http://scanline.ca/overscan/ Mark Benson wrote: If you are going to use overscan, then the interface should be designed to take into account the TV Safe area.

If your tv encoder is overscanning ~20 pixels we must make sure not to draw that close to the 'edge' of the tv signal. - Original Message - From: Gray, Tim [EMAIL PROTECTED] snip yes I have, and I also need to make the GUI image smaller somehow. So, you want to make the safe action area smaller - that is what Freevo's overscan settings do. overscan settings will not take negative numbers so those are useless (I want a -20 setting!) That is like saying you want Freevo to draw outside of the tv signal which doesn't make sense. Your dxr3 (or any tv output method / encoder / xserver / drivers) is responsible for actually overscanning the picture. Many xservers that support tv-out also have an overscan setting for this, the same is true for some framebuffer drivers, and some just overscan a certain amount automatically. So, if your tv-out is overscanning 30 pixels horizontally and in Freevo your OSD_OVERSCAN_X is only set to 20 then freevo will draw things outside of your visible tv border, outside of the safe action area. You would need at least a value of 30 (probably a bit more) for OSD_OVERSCAN_X to make it look right. Our overscan settings really determine what Freevo thinks is the safe action area. so yes it works, except that the freevo GUI is overscanning too far. It sounds like your dxr3 is overscanning too far and you need to tell Freevo just how much.

Re: [Freevo-users] DirectFB help
I have the same problems as you, but i can not seem to find a directfb and libsdl combination that works for freevo. With lidsdl 1.2.6 i get unsupported pixelformat, with a cvs copy from november i get crashes in pygame. The latest cvs snapshot of sdl does not configure for me, the autogen.sh script fails. Did you checkout the latest version from cvs or did you use a cvs snapshot tar ball? I you used a snapshot, when is it from? Mplayer works fine with any directfb version that i have tried.

I've had the same on pal. My sollution was to change the res e.g. 720x576. So try some res's. If someone had a good sollution for this i'd like it too, 800x600 is a bit better in the menu's for vid's it's not better since pal doesn't do 800x600 as far as i know. Also does anyone knows what's the best value for buffering? i see alot of tearing :( I've applied the tripplebuffering patch and the :buggermode=tripple value (i belive it was that option) but it only made it worse as far as i can tell.

[Freevo-users] Re: MPlayer catches keypresses instead of slave mode?
I had the same problem. I ended up rebinding the mplayer keys using the mplayer input.conf file to match the freevo bindings. This ways, the keys always work the same regardless of whether or not a video is playing. Jim Pferdekaemper, Thorsten [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi, I have come across a problem I could not track down yet. It seems like mplayer does not really run in slave mode when playing movies, bit it does when playing music. Normally when playing a movie with freevo, I could use the + and - keys on the numpad to increase or decrease the volume. Since a few days, I have to press * and / to do so. When playing music, + and - works fine. It just seems that (when playing movies) mplayer catches the keyboard commands directly instead of freevo catching them and sending the commands to mplayer. (This is what I assume now, I am not sure if my theories are correct.) I have switched on the debug output for mplayer. The command line being called contains -slave. (I have installed freevo a week ago using the debian package.) In case nobody knows about this problem: Could someone point me in the right direction to track down this problem?
