[Freevo-users] directfb matrox Mplayer horizontal splitting
Hi, I’m setting up my Matrox G450 with directfb. I’m running Gentoo 2004.2 Kernel 2.6 and freevo 1.5.0 (trying to upgrade to 1.5.1 off portage but it wants the new version of Perl which then fails to complile, its another story anyway). Whenever I play a movie though it plays it fine apart from in high action parts it starts to show horizontal splits in the screen where the top half is a third of a second faster than the bottom half of the screen with a definite line between the two. I have tried putting –double and –framedrop in but that is not helping, it just slows down a lot. Putting –vop pp has helped slightly. I have applied a directfb fullmemory patch to the kernel for matrox cards but the fusion patch I cannot apply to kernel 2.6 as there is not a recent one available. Is it needed? My freevo box is nearly perfect, so this is my last hurdle. What parameters to other g450 users make freevo send to mplayer and does anybody have any suggestions for fixing this problem. Is is known? Thanks, Nicholas
Re: [Freevo-users] Something happened, freevo not starting anymore...
Just in case anybody's interested I fixed this by deleting the (obviously stale) file '/var/run/freevo-0.pid'. Don't know how it got there but it prevented freevo from starting up. I think this could be considered as a bug, no? juhis On Mon, 2004-09-20 at 17:41 +0300, Juha Pahkala wrote: > Hello, > > I'm using debian testing and the freevo debs from freevo.sf.net. > Suddenly starting from Saturday I guess, freevo won't start for me > anymore, and I don't know what I've done.

Grab the output of the xine command. Try to run _that_ from the cl. Get _that_ command to run fine from the cl then modify you variables to suit. Also, the XINE_COMMAND you made will never work, maybe thats why the plugin was removed.. Try this: XINE_COMMAND = '%s --hide-gui -pq -g -B -s --no-splash' %conf.XINE Mick --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.

[Freevo-users] playing DVD with version 1.51
When I start to play a DVD using the "Watch a Movie" menu, I receive a XINE error message "The amount of dropped frame is to high". It redirects me to a faq on the xine website. The errors are visual by means of a non-fluent video play. When I tried to play the same DVD directly from XINE, everything works normal. So it had to be something with the command past from freevo. When modifying the following line in local_conf.py XINE_COMMAND = '%s --hide-gui -pq -g -B --geometry %sx%s+0+0 --no-splash' % \ (CONF.xine, CONF.width, CONF.height) towards something like XINE_COMMAND = '--hide-gui -pq -g -B -s --no-splash' which works from the commandline (xine --hide-gui -pq -g -B -s --no-splash') I've get a warning ERROR: 'xine-ui' version too old, plugin 'xine' deactivated You need software xine-ui > 0.9.21 Instead of starting up the DVD, it shows a playlist wich can be selected and played seperated. some specs about the xine install (fedora core 2 on epia Nehemiah 1Ghz mobo with custom kernel) [EMAIL PROTECTED] freevo]# rpm -q xine xine-0.99.2-1.1.fc2.fr [EMAIL PROTECTED] freevo]# rpm -q xine-lib xine-lib-1.0.0-0.14.rc6a.1.fc2.fr [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -q xine-lib-devel xine-lib-devel-1.0.0-0.14.rc6a.1.fc2.fr The error seems to be related with the following file /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/video/plugins/xine.py but this becomes on the python level, which becomes black magic to me. Anybody has some usefull tips/hints on improving the xine playback? Geert --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.

The window doesn't start in the upper left corner.

You can set the geometry (size) of the window using i.e. # freevo setup --geometry=800x600 It _should_ always start in the upper left corner, however, there's no set standard for this if you don't use a window manager (assuming you use X11 in the first place) I dont know how to position the window however.. This is something I find missing in FreeVo. Since my TV either underscans or grosly overscans the picture from my gfx-card, being able to shrink the size and move it would be really nice. Right now I either have about 2cm black border or miss about 100px of the picture all the way around :/ some x-like similiar to --geometry=600x400+100+100 would be very nice! :) - Styx --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
