[Freevo-users] games prematuly teminated?
well I bashed my head enough. HELP!
ALL else works in freevo
the games work outside freevo, but not in freevo.
I know its probably something i'm missing.
i've done the tuxracer example (and emulators)
but i'm STILL missing something
can anyone give me an example of a WORKING
local_conf.py
and the steps to setup a game (ANY i'll emerge it and
test USING that example)
not enough debug info to help.
thanks
Further info
Managed to get tuxracer working (but still dont know
why, everything still the same)
THINK its some sortof time out problem (programs are
being terminated prematuley)
e.g. installed advanced stragegic command
run it from freevo, loading bar at bottoms only gets
to about 1/5 of the way across then reverts back to
freevo)
IS FREEVO prematuly shutting down the game programs
(would account for why I THINK somethings loaded BUT
shuts down straight away :(
just tested 1.5.3 still doing same thing
GAMES_ITEMS = [
('Asc', '/etc/freevo/games/asc/',
('GENERIC', '/usr/games/bin/asc', '', '', [ 'gam' ]
)),
('Head over Heal', '/etc/freevo/games/hoh/',
('GENERIC', '/usr/games/bin/hoh', '', '', [ 'gam' ]
)),
('MISSILE5', '/etc/freevo/games/missile/',
('GENERIC', '/usr/games/bin/missile', '-f', '', [
'gam' ] )),
('Tux Racer', '/etc/freevo/games/tuxracer/',
('GENERIC', '/usr/games/bin/tuxracer', '', '', [
'gam' ] )) ]
am i missing something? or as everyone I asked, they
dont use the game bit.
thanks

-ax whilst it's running shows that freevo has passed
it '-c 0'
The reason for this is as you state a config problem. I used xawtv
fequencies for configuring freevo.
yours:
[5]
channel = 37
capture = on
[BBC2]
channel = 40
capture = on
[ITV]
channel = 43
capture = on
[south.bbc1.bbc.co.uk]
channel = 46
capture = on
[channel4.com]
channel = 50
capture = on
which you must use in the following section of your local_conf.py file:
All channels listed here will be displayed on the TV
menu, even if they're
# not present in the XMLTV listing.
#
#
# Timedependent channels:
#
# The TV_CHANNELS-list can look like this:
#
# TV_CHANNELS = [('21', 'SVT1', 'E5'),
#('22', 'SVT2', 'E3'),
#('26', 'TV3', 'E10'),
#('27', 'TV4', 'E6'),
#('10', 'Kanal 5', 'E7'),
#('60', 'Fox Kids', 'E8',
('1234567','0600','1659')),
#('16', 'TV6', 'E8',
('1234567','1700','2359'),
#
('1234567','','0300')),
#('14', 'MTV Europe','E11') ]
#
# As you can see the list takes optional tuples:
# ( 'DAYS', 'START','END')
#
# 1234567 in days means all days.
# 12345 would mean monday to friday.
#
# It will display Fox Kids from 06:00 to 16:59 and
TV6 from 17:00 to 03:00.
# 03:00 to 06:00 it won't be displayed at all.
#
TV_CHANNELS = [('south.bbc1.bbc.co.uk', 'BBC1', '46'),
('south.bbc2.bbc.co.uk', 'BBC2', '0'),
('itv1.itv.co.uk', 'ITV 1', '0'),
('channel4.com', 'Channel 4', '0'),
('five.co.uk', 'Five', '0') ]
The TV_CHANNELS var above contain the channels in freevo, first is
xmltv id, then a short name for display in osd/web and lastly the xawtv
channel number. Here you'll notice you've used 0 for most channels which
explains why tvtime always starts with -c 0 :) thus your TV_CHANNELS var
should be:
TV_CHANNELS = [('south.bbc1.bbc.co.uk', 'BBC1', '46'),
('south.bbc2.bbc.co.uk', 'BBC2', '40'),
('itv1.itv.co.uk', 'ITV 1', '43'),
('channel4.com', 'Channel 4', '50'),
('five.co.uk', 'Five', '37') ]
hope this help.

[Freevo-users] UK / bttv / tvtime tribulations
Hi, After the last mythtv segfault I could stand in one weekend, I decided to give freevo a trial instead for my PVR project. Thus far I really like it, the whole feel or it is a lot slicker (and being a *nix geek I prefer txt file setup to endless menu systems any day). I have XMLTV setup (using bleb and a grabber I found a while ago that worked with mythtv) and it works in the web interface (although clicking on programs brings up a popup which hangs), and have freevo setup so it can see the listings in the interface. The problem arises when I try to watch or record TV, which is kinda central to the project. I have an old analog Haupaugge WinTV card (circa '98), which I have bttv compiled into my Gentoo 2.6.10 kernel for. I've tested it in xawtv and tvtime and works fine (and tunes). I decided to use tvtime in freevo (using plugin activate), but when it brings up tv it's always got channel 0 selected. This isn't a great suprise, ps -ax whilst it's running shows that freevo has passed it '-c 0' I'm sure my problem is just configuration based, but after several hours of googling and playing around i'm at a loss as to how to fix it. I'm not entirely sure how i'm meant to enter the frequencies into freevo. I know there's a frequency table, but I have no idea how I'm meant to know the frequencies (trial and error could take some time!). In my tvtime stationslist.xml I have the following: list frequencies=freevo norm=PAL station name=BBC1 band=UHF active=1 position=0 xmltvid=south.bbc1.bbc.co.uk channel=108 finetune=0 norm=PAL/ station name=BBC2 band=UHF active=1 position=1 xmltvid=south.bbc2.bbc.co.uk channel=111/ station name=ITV 1 band=UHF active=1 position=2 xmltvid=itv1.itv.co.uk channel=114/ station name=Channel 4 band=UHF active=1 position=3 xmltvid=channel4.com channel=117/ station name=Five band=UHF active=1 position=4 xmltvid=five.co.uk channel=121/ /list and in my .xawtv file: [5] channel = 37 capture = on [BBC2] channel = 40 capture = on [ITV] channel = 43 capture = on [south.bbc1.bbc.co.uk] channel = 46 capture = on [channel4.com] channel = 50 capture = on Clearly xawtv and tvtime use different 'channels' to define what frequency to use. I've tried using the frequency table option in my local_conf.py with these channels, but no luck. All the configuration files I've found posted online have not been uk analog TV, so I haven't been able to crib off other people. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've included my freevo.conf and local_conf.py at the end of this mail, and am happy to provide whatever debugging info needed. My knowledge of python is reasonably limited, but I've used linux for 8 years and don't mind getting my hands dirty :) Thanks Steven --- freevo.conf cdparanoia = /usr/bin/cdparanoia chanlist = us-cable display = x11 fbxine = /usr/bin/fbxine flac = /usr/bin/flac geometry = 1280x1024 jpegtran = /usr/bin/jpegtran lame = /usr/bin/lame lsdvd = /usr/bin/lsdvd mencoder = /usr/bin/mencoder mplayer = /usr/bin/mplayer renice = /usr/bin/renice setterm = /usr/bin/setterm tv = pal version = 2.1 xine = /usr/bin/xine --- local_conf.py: #if 0 # --- # freevo_config.py - System configuration # --- # $Id: local_conf.py.example,v 1.37.2.1 2004/09/06 16:37:33 dischi Exp $ # # Notes: #This file contains the freevo settings.

Hmm. I don't see tvtime defined in freevo.conf? you can run
'freevo setup' to redectect, but by default (without any command line
parameters), it'll set us-cable and ntsc as the TV norms.
'freevo setup --help' should give you some hints.
Alternatively, you can just add a line for the tvtime path to the existing
file.

I guess you're currently just testing the channels so only BBC1 has a
defined channel number, but you'll need to give the channel numbers for
BBC2, ITV 1, etc. to tune them as well. This should be the same as what
you've set for the .xawtv file.
