Yeah, that junk's causing problems.

Not sure what to make of this mumbo jumbo ;-) Rob can you explain what
you are trying to do here with 16s32s32sLL16x ? Willing to help if you
got some pointers.
Heh.  Ok, start by reading:
http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.4/lib/module-struct.html
We need to turn the results of the QUERYCAP_NO (really a hex number) 
driver ioctl call into something python and understands.

def querycap(self):
val = struct.pack( QUERYCAP_ST, "", "", "", 0, 0 )
r = fcntl.ioctl(self.device, long(QUERYCAP_NO), val)
return struct.unpack( QUERYCAP_ST, r )
That function gives us a list returned by the ioctl.  Also note in the 
struct pack line: "", "", "", 0, 0; a string, string, string, int, int. 
   Well in C these tyles are more complec, and from reading the v4l 
header file you can see the struct returned has members like 16 char 
array, 2 - 32 char arrays, 2 - unsigned longs, and 16 bytes of padding. 
 Ok, so this one probably doesn't ring a bell now because I just 
remembered Thomas was the one who made this file, and I think that was 
based on another project, so, perhaps the interface has changed.  Maybe 
someone should review the v4l or ivtv header files and compare all the 
struct packing/unpacking.  I will take a peek later perhaps but atm I'm 
a bit busy.

Re: [Freevo-users] IVTV-record bugs and problems

2004-07-06 Thread Robert Winder
Hi,

ck ivtv patches are outputting this info when passing a ioctl
QUERYCAP_ST on the video device.

Driver: ivtvrÎàâÒÍó¼Ä
Card: Vanilla iTVC15 card qÎâ[À
Version: 266
Capabilities: 17236019
Enumerating supported Standards.
  0: 0x3000 NTSC
  1: 0xff PAL
  2: 0x7f SECAM

In v4l2.py QUERYCAP_ST is defined like this.

QUERYCAP_ST  = "16s32s32sLL16x"
QUERYCAP_NO  = _IOR('V',  0, QUERYCAP_ST)

Not sure what to make of this mumbo jumbo ;-) Rob can you explain what
you are trying to do here with 16s32s32sLL16x ? Willing to help if you
got some pointers.

Bart, if you set DEBUG to 0 it doesn't try to print out the
QUERYCAP ioctl output and all should work as excpected.

Thanks, maybe I will use another driver if I find one that works well
with 2.6 kernel, 0.1.9 won't compile

And another question, is it possible with the video groups to use more
than one tuner, a searched the mailing list but don't really know how to
set it up. there are three tuners in the pc

1) dvb-s haupage nexus
2) pvr350
3) bttv

didn't really try more than one at the moment because I'm already stuck
with the pvr350. (I got in wortking some months ago in my pc, now it is
in my brothers). the bttv card was working well alone, never used the
dbv-s card with freevo.

The strings are in unicode and unicode should handle all character sets,
your language, too. So by taking one character at the time, it should work.
I have no idea what DBCS strings are and how they are encoded, but it should
be possible the way it is now.

Sorry, I can't help you here. My unicode knowledge in python is very
limited, it works with latin-1. For everything else, we need patches.

[Freevo-users] DXR3 Theme(s)?

2004-07-06 Thread Jason Gibson
I've noticed the text on most of the included themes barely survives
the mpeg encoding, making it difficult to read using a dxr3.  Has
anyone made a theme with larger fonts that survive the encoding better?

I did some experiments on one of the included themes by increasing the
fonts sizes.  It helped readability, but then some of the text areas
were then too small.

Try taking the mplayer command that freevo runs (from
/tmp/freevo/main-501.log?) and run it on the command line. If you get the
same results remove mplayer options one by one (I think there's some post
processing done by default). When your happy with the playback put the

His plugin (and mine in WIP/Dischi, too) uses the xine plugin for
vdr. vdr puts the output to xine. This works even with budget cards.

VDR gets the DVB data and the vdr_xine plugin sends the data via a named
pipe to xine (xine needs a patch from vdr_xine).

It will work with "budget" DVB cards... I use the vdr-streamdev plugin
to stream data from my VDR server to vdr with vdr_xine on my laptop ;-)

I am not sure if VDR or xine makes the OSD but it looks just like a
"full featue" DVB card.

To use teletext you need a vdr plugin called osdteletext.

My vdr-xine.py plugin starts the patched xine with the correct options
and makes the necessary key bindings. VDR has to be started separately
with at least "-P'xine -r'" as option...

2004-07-06 Thread Andreas Fürtig
Hi!

i have a big problem:
i have a pentium III 500 and 192 mb ram, archlinux with 2.6.7 kernel and
freevo version 1.5.0-rc4. when i try to start a video file with freevo
(same error with mplayer 1.0pre4-3.4.0 or xine 0.99.1), the video is
very very slow, its like a slideshow :)

when i try to watch a moove without freevo, only in my x (xfce4), then

How do these ones work together? vdr gets the DVB data and xine reads
the data? Does xine display Teletext information? Will it work with a
"budget" DVB card (i.e. without the MPEG2 decoder and the OSD module)?

Hi,

VDR has support for teletext and teletext subtiles and I have written a
freevo plugin for vdr. It requires vdr with vdr_xine plugin and a
patched xine.

You can download it from the plugin page... it is called vdr_xine.py

[Freevo-users] DVB and teletext (videotext)

2004-07-06 Thread Matthieu Weber
I've just been browsing around searching for teletext (aka videotext)
and DVB. There is an old program called dvbtext which gets teletext data
from a dvb stream and saves it to files.

Then we need a decoder: 
 - AleVT is a teletext browser which uses the /dev/vbi interface, but
should also be able to read teletext data from files.
 - alevtd is a Web server serving teletext pages as html documents,
which should also be able to read from files.

Both come from the xawtv package.

Is there teletext support in Freevo? Someone interested in implementing
something?

RE: [Freevo-users] Blue Screen...

V4L2 should work fine with any 2.6 kernel, do a lsmod see if bttv module
is loaded. Can you view TV outside freevo using xzwtv or tvtime?
