[Freevo-users] ivtv config problem - 'tuner_num'
Hello, and thanks for your time
I am trying to get freevo to work with my WinTV-PVR 250. Per instructions
from various sources, including the documentation on the Wiki site, I added
the following to my local_conf.py file:
..
plugin.remove('tv.generic_record')
plugin_record = plugin.activate('tv.ivtv_record')
..
IVTV_OPTIONS = {
'input' : 4,
'resolution': '720x480',
'aspect': 2,
'audio_bitmask' : 233,
'bframes' : 3,
'bitrate_mode' : 1,
'bitrate' : 400,
'bitrate_peak' : 400,
'dnr_mode' : 0,
'dnr_spatial' : 0,
'dnr_temporal' : 0,
'dnr_type' : 0,
'framerate' : 0,
'framespergop' : 15,
'gop_closure' : 1,
'pulldown' : 0,
'stream_type' : 10,
}
..
VIDEO_GROUPS = [
VideoGroup(vdev="/dev/video0",
adev=None,
input_type='tuner',
tuner_num=4,
tuner_norm=CONF.tv,
tuner_chanlist=CONF.chanlist,
desc='Cable',
group_type="ivtv",
recordable=True),
]
When I execute freevo, I get the following...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/main.py", line 85, in ?
import config
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/sitepackages/freevo/config.py:, line 499, in ?
Execfile(overridefile, globals(), locals())
File "/etc/freevo/local_conf.py", line 924, in ?
Recordable=True),
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'tuner_num'
So, when I comment-out the line:
tuner_num=4,
freevo works...kinda. Freevo will come up and work fine except when I try
to watch TV, it will only go black for a few seconds and then re-display the
guide. Everything else works. Also, my card works perfect when I tune a
channel from the command line and then issue "mplayer /dev/video0"
I'm using Freevo 1.5.0-rc3 and MPlayer 1.0-pre4 and ivtv 0.1.9
Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Oscilated

[Freevo-users] No sound when playing back movies
Im having a problem with sound in freevo 1.5 rc 3 (mplayer version
1.0pre4-3.3.3) on gentoo.
I have mplayer as the default player for both sound and videos. Sound
is working fine for music but not for videos. Also, when i launch
mplayer from the command shell it plays back videos with sound with out
problem. My log file (snippet is below) does not seem to provide me with
much in the way of problems so im not sure where to be looking. Also,
I have tried to use freevo -trace to do some debugging but it when i try
and play a video freevo complains about "No Action defined for this
choice". Any ideas would be great,
brock
Freevo start at Wed Jun 30 18:01:34 2004

[Freevo-users] a bug in rc4
I'm using the debian packages of freevo and I've had the following problem since I updated to rc3 release. The new rc4 seems to have it as well. When ever I try to watch a movie (I'm using mplayer plugin) freevo process dies. nothing is printed on the console. Playing the movie goes on since the mplayer process doesn't die, but I have to kill it by hand since it doesn't register the lirc events from freevo (obviously) anymore. In the freevo log files there's nothing useful for solving this problem. I've tried to debug it using 'freevo -trace', but when I use that, freevo doesn't start playing a movie, but instead brings a dialog saying: "No action defined for this choice!". I'm using directfb as output, and just found out that when using x11, the problem doesn't occur so it might be somehow related to that. Has anybody else seen this? Or does anybody have a suggestion on how I could debug what's happening? Thx, juhis --- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.

Re: [Freevo-users] Using PAL geometry
Hi John Hello, Is it possible to set geometry to the standard PAL resolution ( 720x576 ) instead of 768x576 ? If yes what do I have to to for it ? Would it be sufficiant to do a global change from 768 to 720 in the sources ? For Freevo 1.5 RC3 Possibly edit ~/.freevo/freevo.conf Set tv = pal Set geometry = 720x576 This may not be what you want though (I'm not clear from your post), this will set freevo to run in 720x576. You may instead want to change the below settings. Thanks - that did the trick. I was unsure doing so, because this resolution was not in the list of valid resolutions, but it works ! -- Helmut Auer, [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.

Would that really be necessary? I was just looking at the re-skin-ability of the MVP and while it would be easy to create a skin for the MVP that looks like (the default) freevo skin, the remote codes are still an issue - I have found out a little more about this and it just appears to be server side calls... will try to find out some more useful info on this... > > I was just curious if it was possible as I was using freevo with a dxr3 and > > from what I understand freevo transcoded everything for the dxr3 (which I > > guess means mpeg streams - including the menus).

I have cat 5 in every room in my house (usually near a TV) and have just bought two MVPs but the hauppague interface sucks... the gbpvr interface is nicer but lacks the feature I would like. Freevo and the MVP would be the 'killer app'. What I would like to see is the MVP playing ripped DVDs and even movies straight off the DVD. A Basic web browser might be nice too - sometimes I just don't wanna go to the PC to find something out quickly...

They're not in local stores here yet but I could order one online within Canada for $133. I'm not sure exactly what it would entail as its a fairly limited little box. It is based on a PPC with hardware mpeg1/2 chip that reads streams from the network. At first thought it would involve network booting or embedded kernel, mount everything using NFS, SDL support for Freevo menus, a video output driver for mplayer or xine, or just DirectFB support. Most of that work is probably already done by another project. I know people already running VDR on the MVP. I was just curious if it was possible as I was using freevo with a dxr3 and from what I understand freevo transcoded everything for the dxr3 (which I guess means mpeg streams - including the menus). If that is the case it wouldn't be a hugh step to stream that stream over the network to the MVP. I would say this is definately doable. The cost of the MVP is low with many vendors carrying it @ GBP £50 and its small (smaller than a video cassette) and its quiet (no noise at all).

[Freevo-users] Freevo on Hauppauge Media MVP
Has anyone thought of supporting the MVP with freevo? I'm not sure exactly what it would entail as its a fairly limited little box. It is based on a PPC with hardware mpeg1/2 chip that reads streams from the network. I was just curious if it was possible as I was using freevo with a dxr3 and from what I understand freevo transcoded everything for the dxr3 (which I guess means mpeg streams - including the menus). If that is the case it wouldn't be a hugh step to stream that stream over the network to the MVP. What I know about the MVP: Apart from the PPC, hardware mpeg1/2 chip. It is running linux, it has a bit of firmware that enables it to search for the MVP on the network (At this point it appears to be searching for an TFTP server, which then uploads the rest of the OS (a file called dongle.bin (screaming out for someone to hack it)) which then loads menus from the MVP server (these are just html - but I think they are sent using some sort of VNC like process (as you can view the menu on the PC). As for the remote return commands, I don't know much about that. There is a project (www.gbpvr.com ) that has implemented this, but its media support for the MVP is limited. The original MVP software from Hauppauge leaves a lot to be desired even with the beta software that adds wma/wmv and divx support. The transcoding is inefficient as when I try to play a divx movie thru the MVP from my dual 1G PIII it says it isn't fast enough... with freevo playing divx thru the dxr3 (transcoding to mpeg?) on a dual celeron 400MHz it could just about cope. The cost of the MVP is low with many vendors carrying it @ GBP £50 and its small (smaller than a video cassette) and its quiet (no noise at all). And to top it all off the video output is great, as good as the dxr3 on TV. Anyway - what do people think?

Re: [Freevo-users] Problems with /dev/mixer
Firstly, Keep these types of questions on the user list, Secondly, Looks like you have an issue with /dev/mixer, not freevo.. Try the mplayer command on its own, does it work? Do you use alsa or oss? Try aumixer or alsamixer to see is th mixer exists.. Mick On Wed, 2004-06-30 at 14:46, Thomas Buchmann wrote: > Hello everyone, > > > > freevo 1.4.1 worked fine until today.
