RE: [Freevo-users] usb mass storage help please
Is anyone using the mass storage plugin? I'm getting a little frustrated
not being able to work it out..
I've found now there are automounting services that can be hacked to do the
same thing.. Like hotplug on gentoo.
Feel free to offer me some advice on what YOUR doing.. As I'm fairly new to
USB storage and don't know what path to take..
What I really want is for the features that I thought were in usbstorage, to
'add' and 'remove' the given directory when the device is available.
Thinking about this, this would be good for network /smb mounts also.
Maybe I should start ot dig around there..

A little further on..
I can see usb.py is seeing the device..
usb.py: removed device 0402:5621
usb.py: new device 0402:5621
Is anyone using the mass storage plugin? I guess for now a shortcut is to
use usb.py to mount the drives and just hardcode the mount dirs to the video
items..
FYI: This is what my config looks like..
plugin.activate('usb')
USB_HOTPLUG = [ ('0402:5621', 'Mounting USB-1', 'mount /mnt/USB-1
/mnt/USB-2') ]
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='video', args=('0402:5621',
'/mnt/USB-1'))
reading usbstorage.py, it looks like '0402:5621' is the name given to the
menu item, but i left the USB device ID there just in case i'mmissing
something..
Only issue with this is that they don't unmount when they are removed..
Maybe there's sometheing to add to the usb plugin: ie app to call when
device x is removed.. OK. Ive done this now. Send to freevo-develif anyone
interested.

I'm strugling with the usb settings in 1.5pre1.
here are the relavent bits from my config..
plugin.activate('usb')
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='video', args=('USB 1st', '/mnt/USB-1'))
And fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/USB-1 vfatnoatime,users
0 1
It mounts fine with:
mount -v /mnt/USB-1
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/USB-1 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime)
However, i'm not sure what to look for in terms of logs to find out what
stage i'm getting to in freevo..
I have 1 40G USB HDD with 2 Parts each set to 20g. I would like to have
these both automount when plugged in.
Is this what the automount plugin is for? I'm loathing booting up the
laptop to ssh in and mount them manually ATM.
Cheers,
Mick

Re: [Freevo-users] usb mass storage help please
Mick,
Oh sorry i totally misread your post .. you already got it working, heh.
With older version it wasn't needed to use USB_HOTPLUG= and mount the
device with a custom command, it already did it automatically. And i am
fairly sure dischi didn't intended to mount a device semi manually
with the USB_HOTPLUG option.
And not sure what happens if one uses multiple usb storage devices
without the use of the USB_ID.
But i could be wrong of course, again. ;-)

Dischi,
Can you please explain to me how usbtorage.py is meant to funtion with
refference to usb.py?
I can't see any refference to calling mount or umount.. I'm happy to
make this my first contribution, but need your advice as to how its
meant to work..
Its such a simple process that I don't see the need to patch a kernel or
install another dependancy to get it going..

without the use of the USB_ID.
This should be easy enough to hack once I know *how* its meant to work

Re: [Freevo-users] Blocky mencoder... on some channels.
On Fri, 2004-04-16 at 04:53, Victor B. Putz wrote:
OK, after doing searches, looking at faqs, and getting thoroughly
perplexed, I must finally ask the list (apologies; seems like the sort
of problem that's been addressed before).
I'm using mencoder with a Hauppage WinTV board on an Athlon 1400 (or so)
with 768MB ram. The quality of my recordings varies; almost all of them
have two vertical visible wiggly lines down the middle of the screen...
and while some channels are fairly clear (Food Network, of all things,
comes through with about the same quality as a VHS VCR), some are
execrable (Comedy Central is EXTREMELY blocky to the point where
on-screen text is difficult if not impossible to read).
Prbably only 2 options to fix this: add a filter like yuvdenoise to
reduce noise, therefore increasing bit compression efficency; or
increase your bits. Filters chew heaps of CPU and I havn't tried this
on live recording..
Additionally, and this is less important (because we use an external
tuner for live TV), watching TV via the freevo gets choppier and
choppier as time goes on.
OK, I'm stuck on this too, not witht he same isues though. Apparenlty
theres now way to log the mplayer calls.. So you will need to Run the tv
stuff, telnet to you box, run ps -aux to find out what command freevo is
using.
Now, kill freevo and play with the command on its own. What does the
output look like now? Remember, freevo is just a front end to other
apps, like mplayer.. You may be better off using tvtime for live
stuff.. If the direct command still looks bad, tweak it till its
fixed, or contact the mplayer list for some support...
Here's my VCR command line from local_conf.py (the aumix bit is in there
because I was having difficulty with setting record levels; now that
I've switched motherboards to ALSA, it's probably no longer needed):
Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. I'm OK with
320x240 (not sure the hauppage can actually record at better--any
ideas?), but the blockiness is really unacceptable.
I record at 1600 for live stuff. Remember this is not 2 pass encoding
so your bits aren't as efficient as with a dvd rip that you can spend
time doing..
