Re: [Freevo-users] hacked tivo for mpeg card

[skeeterskip]

Interesting.  I suppose I will stick with my regular
media box until someone gets a simple fix for Tivo.

I have neighbor that has nice mod card for Xbox and he
can stream video media from his computer to his Xbox
and quite a few nice things. But unfortunatly it has
no TV tuner in it.

At their low prices of $99 and $150 it seems like Tivo
and Xbox will make nice affordable media box systems
to those willing to tinker with them.

[Fwd: Re: [Freevo-users] Re: CVS install problem, Crash ValueError pygame support miss]

[john.molohan]

Yeah, it's not finding pygame.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pyimlib2]# python setup.py install
pygame extention disabled
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
running install_lib
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pyimlib2]#
   

Add some debug in lib/pyimlin2/setup.py and try to find out what the
reason is. 

 

Not knowing python and more to the point not being a programmer is a bit 
of a drawback here but I can give some feedback. It's failing at the 
os.path.isdir(inc) check;

[EMAIL PROTECTED] pyimlib2]# python2.3 setup.py build

That should work.
 

I am actually using X11 and adding this setting got things moving on
(slightly). Next up was an issue with mbus. The hostname returned by
gethostname was not resolvable resulting in the following as
gethostbyname failed.
 File
"/home/john/apps/freevocvs/freevo/site-packages/mbus/entity.py", line

Try to add your pc to your /etc/hosts. It looks like you can't connect
to a nameserver.
 

Exactly, adding to /etc/hosts had done the trick.
So that's sorted now the next one is a sqlite problem. Think I must
have missed something in my rush.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] freevo]# freevo

Try to remerge pysqlite. Maybe sqlite below pysql changed.

Yes, it looks like you are correct about writing

Read permissions should be fine for me right now. I

Try to recompile pyimlib2. When running setup, you see a message if
pygame is found or not. If pygame is installed and not found, please
send me the following 'sdl-config --version'.

If you use X11, you can also use imlib2 output by setting
OSD_DISPLAY='imlib2'.

Oh yea... my bad.  Did that.  Everything seemed to work.  Freevo ran but I
am getting a message "The Recordserver is down".  I think it's a
configuration issue though not an installation issue.  But since the

Thanx for your help!

It looks like it worked.  I installed freevo with the direction not
using yum so when I type

yum install freevo

it downloaded the files and said that there was nothing to update.

Re: [Freevo-users] IMDB plugin

[den_RDC]

The patch i posted to the dev-list was compatible with 1.5.x afaik, and 
probably is compatible with a lot earlier versions too.

I have to disagree on the outsourcing though. Imdb doesn't break very often (i 
think max once a year) and outsourcing the imdb stuff doesn't mean the TTP 
(Time To Patch) will decrease dramatically. And afaik, a 1.5.3 release of 
freevo is sheduled to solve this problem (and some other small bugfixes).

DVDs and CDs don't work in freevo. They do work in mplayer,xine,or

in it. CDs won't even have a name, and of course with 0 items in it.
I do have links to dvd and cdrom, making them work in mplayer and the

Re: [Freevo-users] mobile USB drive and Freevo

[Justin]

I use autofs for this.  i have a multi-card reader that I use for
digital still and movie cameras.  Autofs works extremely well, I even
use it for network mounted drives.  But for usb sticks and other memory
cards it works a treat.

As an example, on of the options under my view pictures menu is
ram-cards.  Navigating into 'ram-cards' will only show additional
directories for each device that is plugged in, otherwise it shows an
empty directory.

google for autofs and I can share some configs if you like.

wrote:

The patch i posted to the dev-list was compatible with 1.5.x afaik, and

maybe. i don't know the sourcecode very well and for some reason the patch 
didn't apply properly against my cvs checkout. so i patched by hand, 
because the changes weren't a lot. for that reason i patched against a 
version that i knew would work with my 1.5 version.

I have to disagree on the outsourcing though. Imdb doesn't break very
often (i  think max once a year) and outsourcing the imdb stuff doesn't
mean the TTP  (Time To Patch) will decrease dramatically. And afaik, a
1.5.3 release of  freevo is sheduled to solve this problem (and some
other small bugfixes).
well...to me it feels more something like at least twice a year. you are 
definately right about the TTP. you are really quick with that. the problem 
is that freevo tends to change a lot internally and in the past it really 
was a lot of work to backport an imdb patch to an old freevo version, 
because the imdb parser still depends on freevo classes. it would be easier 
to replace a file/imdb-parser-class with no dependencies, but with a well 
defined interface which doesn't change. thats basically what i would _like_ 
to see, because i don't want to wait for an updated freevo-bugfix-release 
which might take weeks or months before it is ready after the imdb patch is 
done when i use the script regulary. i don't care whether it is freevo's 
(your) own code or imdbpy. i just care about how easy it is to make it work 
again asap.

Does it do it not show up dvd's for all dvd's or just some. I had a 
problem with one dvd where it did that. Check lsdvd package is installed 
correctly. Perhaps try removing it and installing it again. This package 
is required for viewing the chapter listings in dvd's.

VIDEO_ITEMS should only contain 'real' directories, which are located on your

So put the directory there where your ripped DVDs are...
But even if you let this empty (VIDEO_ITEMS=[]),
your drive should appeare in that menu.
Do your drives appear in the audio menu?
I hope at least that part of your freevo is running, as it should.
Just to be sure, set HIDE_UNUSABLE_DISCS = 0 in local_conf.py.
That should not be the reason, but who knows.
Did you change anything in freevo_conf.py? (You should not!)
Have a look at the output of  " freevo plugins -l".
Is the plugin rom_drives.rom_items marked as active?
Tanja
Ps: You can get more output by setting DEBUG = 1 in local_conf.py.
Maybe you find some hints then.

Hi,

--device-map=/boot/grub/device.map
echo "ShutDown"
reboot

My computer reboot and halt. After while computer wake up.
I found (nvram-wakeup patch, 2nd run) but I get following error:
File to patch: shutdown.py.orig

Re: [Freevo-users] mobile USB drive and Freevo

[Jesper Mathiassen]

RTFM! :)

This have been discussed earlier on the list, and seemingly autofs is
the best way to go. I use it myself.

There's a guide for setting up autofs in the old wiki at:
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/TipsAndTricks#head-43a377864db7b3c37be43cbaa6fde4961b60685d

As for only showing icons in freevo for attached drives, the usb plugin
should do the trick. Info here:

http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/DocumentationPage_2fPluginInfo#head-09716c44992b8bceefcd6d77921ff9ec06e2764d

Neither pages are in the new WiKi though.. I could make a page about USB
and remote drives configuration?

Can you share your config file? I just installed

Re: [Freevo-users] mobile USB drive and Freevo

[Simon Allcorn]

Hi Skeeter,

unless I've missunderstood you:

1) mount the usb stick (probably as root)

mount -t filesystem_type /dev/sda1 /mnt/my_usb_stick

2) configure freevo with /mnt/my_usb_stick

3) that's it !

btw you should be able to build some kind of automount for 1) so that
every time you insert the stick it get's mounted.

AFAIK NTFS can only be read with linux, not written (bad stuff (tm)
happens) although I may be wrong about this. I believe the best (for
best read most portable) format to use is fat32.

   There are hacks to play music and display still images on series 1
tivos. The series 1 tivo has a very weak 50mhz ppc CPU and a hardware mpeg
codec. You will never get it to do any sort of video but mpeg 2. 

   The series 2 tivo has a very fast NEC Mips cpu and afaik does it's
encode and decode in software, but i know nothing at all about hacks for
it. They have a 'home media option' that will play music, display stills,
etc. Dunno if it'll play video files. Costs money. I don't have a series 2
anyway. Probably won't unless the HDTiVo DTV receiver falls from it's
current $1000 price tag to something that isn't absurd. 

   There is in fact a "tivo service emulator" hacked up by some canadians
that can feed your tivo with guide data for free - but the price of freedom
is eternal vigilance and you don't sound like you're prepared to set up
this fairly complex piece of software. 

   Freevo can do what you want, too, without the wonderful TiVo UI, but,
see above.

[Freevo-users] hacked tivo for mpeg card

[skeeterskip]

I've heard of Tivo hacks for bigger hard drive, but has anyone hacked 
Tivo to allow for playing of digital music, videos, and other stuff?

I used to have Tivo but sold it. I would like to replace Tivo tv 
scheduler which costs  $299 or $12 a month with a free  one and be able 
to upload digital movies and music.

   Freevo is the wrong tool for what you want to do. You could probably
just use mencoder.

   Sounds like more of a gentoo issue than a freevo issue. Dunno what to
tell you. I have no experience troubleshooting SANE issues because SANE
always just works for me.

[Freevo-users] Philips SAA7130

[David Miller]

Hello
I am new to video capture.
I have a 2200+ Athlon running Fedora Core 3
I have a video capture card, EasyMaker that has a SAA7130
The hardware browser says it is using Driver saa7134
If I hook my cam corder to the card, I can watch just fine with tvtime.
I want to be able to record the various video clips from my cam corder 
and burn to DVD.
I ran yum to install freevo. but I don't seem to be able to make it work.
I seems to talk mostly about cards with tuners, which I don't have and 
don't need for what I want to do.
It complains about a record server not working.

The other problem I discovered is that my Epson Perfection 1260 scanner 
no longer works.  I open gimp and select acquire and it seems to wait 
forever saying looking for device then gives a list of both my video 
capture card and my scanner.  When I select my scanner it complains 
about being busy.  If I select the video capture card with my camera 
attached, clicking acquire preview the window flashes and nothing happens.

Things have gotten worse instead of better.
Anyone have any ideas.
David Miller

[Freevo-users] Feature Request: Advanced recording

[Jesper Mathiassen]

Hi
A thing which bothers me, I think could be implemented rather easily, 
would be a little more control of your recordings.
First of, I rarely (never) use the freevo box for viewing tv. the 
quality of my tuner isn't very good, so I prefer using the tv-set 
internal tuner. Howevre when I decide to record a show which just 
started, or starts soon, the tv-guide shows me the tv instead of 
offering me to record the show. I considerd two sollutions to this. 
First of is disabling the tv viewing part, and making the tv-guide work 
the same for all shows (like in the webversion). Secondly a submenu 
(enter-key) for shows could be brought up, forcing recording, or, as 
another feature, automaticly switches to tv-viewing on the time of the 
show. (Say you're mark a show for watching, then put on some music, and 
when the show starts, freevo turns of the music and switches to 
tv-viewing on the given channel.. )
Secondly, I'd like to be able to break down scheduled show recordings to 
manual records.. allowing me to alter start and stop time etc. often on 
my xmltv-guide, the last show of the evening doesn't have a stop time, 
and so lasts till the first show the next day.. and so a recording of 
family_guy can last for 7 hours... also, when recording movies, I'd like 
to manually pad the start and stop time to make sure the entire movie is 
recorded..
Lastly, I'd like to be able to use recording "profiles". Say I like 
recording alot of show I dont really watch alot of.. (reruns, backups 
and such) and I prefer recording those directly to vcd format for later 
export to cd/dvd. however when I record a movie, I'd like to switch to a 
3-4Mbit Divx recording instead, which is a quality worth preserving 
movies in (of-course, later a two-pass mpeg2enc reduces the size and 
applies crops and noise filtering..). I suggest having a default profile 
for shows, and then having an extra property of manual recording to set 
the profile (or quality? ) of the recording.

oh.. and one last thing.. the am/pm vs. 24h clock isn't done very well.. 
I run 24h system here, but several places timeis listed in am/pm format 
instead.. (recording overview, webguide to name a few)

[Freevo-users] WinTV PVR-250, IVTV & G450

[oschista]

I've recently bought a WinTV PVR-350 and am planning to use this on my freevo 
box instead of my low-end analog tuner. Since my current setup has been a right 
nightmare to get working, I'm trying to collect as much information beforehand 
before I start recompiling kernel modules and messing with the freevo config.

I have a couple of questions that someone on the list will hopefully be able to 
answer.

1: Regarding IVTV - Does the ivtv plugin for freevo work out of the box? Does 
it use the hardware encoder on the PVR?

2: Regarding TV-out; currently I use a matrox G450 and dfbmga for TV-out. I am 
very happy with the image quality with this, but I presume that the Hauppauge 
card's builtin TV generator is also of excellent quality. My question is; does 
the TV-out work reliably on the Hauppauge card in 2.6.X kernels, and would it 
be recommendable to use it, or should I stay on my proven configuration (which 
has been a nightmare to get working with kernel patches, mplayer patches, 
directfb patches and documentation issues).?

3: Does the remote control work with lirc out of the box?

4: Audio: My freevo box is connected to my surround receiver using an optical 
sp/dif cable. I would prefer to keep this unchanged. Will this be possible when 
using livetv or accelerated playback of movies? Specifically, is there ALSA 
support in ivtv?

Before purchasing the Hauppauge I did some checking and I did find a discussion 
specifically on freevo and how to set this up, but dumb as I am I forgot to 
bookmark this and now I can't find it. If some kind soul has valid info to 
share that would be much appreciated. There's a lot of info in the ivtv driver 
itself, so I am confident I will get the driver working, but the freevo and 
matrox integration is in the blue right now.
