[Freevo-users] Freevo 1.5.0 and the Web Interface...
Just wanted to pick people's brains a bit regarding the freevo web interface. I am currently running 1.4 (rc4, I believe) and the web interface can be very slow at times. I'm sure part of that has to do with my setup... I pull 8 days of xmltv information down on a weekly basis (the extra day just gives me overlap coverage if it fails to pull properly). The piece that is really slow is, of course, Scheduled Recordings. Part of the reason that I pull down a week's worth of data is because I schedule a lot of favorites. MacGyver, Pretender, Stargate SG1, Sentinel, etc. By this time I have most of the episodes (or in some cases, already have some of the season sets on DVD) for those shows-- so every Sunday I go through, check my lists of what I have, and unschedule the episodes I already have. This takes a considerable amount of time. After I remove one from the schedule, it has to reprocess the schedule and list all the other scheduled episodes. It starts to speed up towards the end, when I've winnowed out somewhere around half the episodes, but it's still slow. I'm wondering if 1.5.0 has improved the speed of the web interface or optimized the code. I have a CPU applet in my GNOME panel that gets pegged at 100% when I hit the Scheduled Recordings page, and stays there until it's finished. If this code got optimized, that would mean a bit of difference for me. Also, failing a significant improvement in that code, does anyone have any recommendations as to how I could go about writing a clone of the Scheduled Recordings page which would have a checkbox by each episode and allow me to delete multiple scheduled recordings at once? Under that framework, I would just be able to check off all the ones I wanted removed, hit the button and grab a cup of coffee, ignoring however long it took. I'm not familiar with python (I'm a perl/php/C guy), but I can find my way around by leveraging the similarities of other languages to my advantage. For example, I dug into the code to add a column to that page which lists the episode name as well as the description-- much handier for me to look up on TVTome that way. :) (Btw, if others would like that in patch form, I'm sure I can dig it out pretty easily.) -- Nathan P.

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo statup error on ArchLinux
Hi Greg I got exactly the same error on the weekend. It (obviously) has something to do with the real time clock. I've tried the new enhanced as well as the genereic real time clock, but nothing works. I would love to get this working as it is my only stumbling block to using my new tv card. Maybe someone can help us here. Thanks dudes.

[Freevo-users] Key mappings problems in 1.5 and CVS
I'm having the same problems using both CVS and versions 1.5 with key mappings. 1) I want to map the 'x' key to the MUTE function. If I define this in local_conf.py KEYMAP[K_x] = 'MUTE' I get this crash on startup.

KEYMAP[K_x] = 'MUTE' NameError: name 'K_x' is not defined 2) I want to map the CH+/- keys to the LEFT/RIGHT input functions. I place this in my local_conf.py file. EVENTS['input']['CH-'] = Event(INPUT_LEFT) EVENTS['input']['CH+'] = Event(INPUT_RIGHT) When I drill down an attempt to delete a file, I get the popup window for OK/CANCEL, however, I cannot use CH-/+ to toggle between the two for LEFT/RIGHT.

[Freevo-users] Recording to vfat broken due to invalid characters (:) in filename
I've seen this touched upon earlier but it looks like nobody found the cause. The reason why freevo cannot record to a fat32 (vfat) partition is that it uses illegal characters in the filename when creating a recorded TV show - the colon (:) character is not allowed on a FAT32 filesystem. At the moment I've written an external record command which amongst other things replaces the colon(s) with underscore(s), and this allows me to record to a vfat partition. Unfortunately, freevos database of recorded shows still refers to the original filename, and this has the inconvenient effect that all recorded shows are listed twice, once by name and description and once by filename, and of course only the latter actually works since the former filename is nonexistent. I haven't looked very hard at the relevant portions of freevo (my python skills are at pidgin level) but I have a nasty suspicion that the HH:MM:SS format may be there for a good reason and that changing it may break things, but for what its worth it would be great if someone would consider a workaround - I'm sure there are lots of people using shared partitions or filesystems mounted from windows hosts who may benefit from such a fix. If I were more familiar with the code I'd at least do an honest attempt at fixing it myself, and may still do so, but it may not happen soon... :) -- Ole --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo/mplayer fails, console/mplayer works with DVD??
Thanks, but i don't think so, because i have to select the vob-files in freevo (although i don't like this), and tried out the first 6 files or more if it doesn't work.
