[Freevo-users] How to remove autoplay/playlist or whatever this is?
Hi, I have a quite strange problem with freevo and I don't know how to solve it. I'm using freevo 1.5.0 on gentoo linux and I mainly use freevo to play movies. For that, I created a directory containing all the videos (no .fxd file in it!) and added it with VIDEO_ITEMS = [ ('movies', '/MEDIA/Video/') ] so that it it is displayed in the movie directory. When I enter the directory , I can play every movie without any problem. However, pressing the 'q' or 'ESCAPE'-button doesn't exit but plays the next item (until the last item is reached; only then it exits)! I set DIRECTORY_CREATE_PLAYLIST = [] DIRECTORY_ADD_PLAYLIST_FILES = [] DIRECTORY_ADD_RANDOM_PLAYLIST = [] and also tried plugin.remove('audio.playlist') plugin.remove('playlist') so normally there shouldn't be a playlist I thought. I also switched from mplayer to xine but it was the same. So I think that there must be a kind of playlist made by freevo. But where can I find and remove it? Or is it something else (wrong option in local_conf)? Do you have any idea how I can disable this? The log doesn't show any error...

[Freevo-users] mounting remote fs's
Just a poll to gather opinions.. What would you guys usefor this scenario: I have a (windows) laptop which holds some music and video files, and then I have my freevo box connected via remote. I'm looking for a method to mount the laptops shares as readonly when it is available, and then remove the mount when it is not.. The optoins I have found are: i) a cron job ii) automount + autofs (I tried and failed last night, i can't seem to find any documentaiton for mounting a not NFS share??) iii) supermount (seems just as hard a automount.. need to path kernel.) iv) your suggestions or comments welcome ;-) Mick --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

[Freevo-users] Freevo 1.5.0 and gphoto plugin
I am having trouble with the gphoto plugin. First it didn't load, it was missing _pygphoto. I believe this comes from the fact that I installed all the deps.

RE: [Freevo-users] Re: BUG: freevo crashes on flac tags
Hi, I don't know whether this is related or not but my Freevo crashes with the same error (see below) when trying to play MP3s from recursive directory. By recursive I mean the same name of the directory as parent directory. I have The Cure directory and within that are the albums. Now the latest one is called The Cure as well. When trying to play that, it crashes and produces the log below. Renaming the album directory to The Cure (CD) helps.

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo 1.5.0 and gphoto plugin
Justin, I have tried getting the gphoto plugin to work several times. I think there was a change in the libgphoto API recently that the swig code does not account for since it was written against a previous version of the API. Rob Shortt is the last person I know to get this to work but I believe it has stopped working for him as well.

[Freevo-users] Record server memory usage
After about 5 days of uptime, the recording server process was using 429 MB of RAM. The only reason I even thought to check was because a number of recent recordings were screwed (i.e., after a few minutes the image would freeze or there would be hiccups in the recording, or it would simply stop recording altogether, leaving file sizes that are way too small to be 1-hour video files). Anyone else observing this? Thanks, Ducson --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
