Re: [Freevo-users] inscrutible TV_CHANNELS ...
Ok. One more question: Is it possible, with freevo, to watch TV that is
currently airing? I mean ... do I have to record everything and then watch
it later? Or can I just "Watch TV"?

[Freevo-users] cdbackup and coversearch plugins
I've been having a problem with using the cdbackup and coversearch plugins. They used to work, but have stopped working recently, but I'm not sure when. I don't get the option to find a cover from amazon on CDs recently ripped with cdbackup. However, I can get a coversearch for CDs which where ripped in the past, sometime ago. I'm hitting this block in coversearch: except AttributeError: if config.DEBUG > 1: print String(_( "WARNING" )) + ": " +\ String(_( "Unknown CD, cover searching is disabled" )) It appears that maybe cdbackup isn't loading the ID tags? Has anyone been having the similiar problme in 1.5.2 ? Thanks, Jim --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

[Freevo-users] inscrutible TV_CHANNELS ...
Hi,
I've just downloaded and installed freevo.
It looks like a fine project ... only one thing why in the heck doesn't
it scan the tuner for channels? What is this TV_CHANNELS variable all about?
I looked at the wiki ... for hours, it seems ... but I still haven't figured
that out, and I haven't been able to view a single channel in freevo
(although I can use mplayer to view tuner channels, just fine). And it seems
I'm able to do simple things like view MPG files with freevo.
I've installed xmltv and downloaded the listing to /var/db/freevo/TV.xml,
but ... I guess this is not usable by freevo? Help me out here ... the
project knows all the channels, if it can read TV.xml, right? So why can't I
just watch a channel in the listing?
The wiki page at http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/DVBConfig seems ...
incomplete ... at best. The text refers to "The first line" of the
TV_CHANNELS variable, but it clearly should refer to the columns of data, NOT
lines.
Well, maybe not "clearly." I have never set it up, and the author apparently
has, so I'm probably wrong.
I *get* that TV_CHANNELS has three columns of data. What I don't get is WHERE
that data comes from. It seems like the SECOND column of data is the
"friendly-name" that freevo will use on the GUI. And I'm guessing that the
first column somehow comes from TV.xml ... but ... what element? That's a
pretty big file, you know? Some help, here? And whereinaheck does the third
piece come from?
The example in local_conf.py says:
#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') ]
So ... 21 is the channel number? SVT1 is the friendly display name?
Whatinaheck is 'E5'?
I get this from TV.xml
228 MAXP
228 MAXP AL01494:X
228
MAXP
CineMAX (Pacific)
PAY
So ... should TV_CHANNELS look like:
TV_CHANNELS = [('I12508.labs.zap2it.com','228','whatinaheckgoeshere?')]
A link; a manual to read; a script to parse TV.xml into something useful; hey,
throw me a bone, here!
Thanks,
lane

I have the same problem with da_DK.UTF-8 , Danish, however the
idlebar.clock is pretty easily fixed using:
plugin.activate('idlebar.clock', level=40, args=('%a d. %d, %H:%M', ))
The % replacements is identical to those of date so a quick "man date"
will get you a list of all the replacements so you can construct your
own.

cs_CZ
cs_CZ.iso88592
cs_CZ.utf8
czech

POSIX
and everything in freevo is localized to czech except time strings - in
plugin.activate('idlebar.clock') and tv - scheduled recording overview and
recording menu - there is I suggest LANG=C used (ie. at 10:00PM)
Any idea how to fix it? I trye'd to find it from the code, but to be honest I
get lost, or if I uderstand it right comes from some standard python time
library?

Re: [Freevo-users] Recording automatically from favourites
If you don't use the 'freevo tv_grab' helper to grab your xmltv file you have to run the 'freevo schedulefavorites' to schedlue your favorite recordings after you grab the xmltv file. see : http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/Recordserver#head-a384a0ecd443ecbdd32b5c060f7b078d3f7e2e44 Bart On Tue, 2005-02-22 at 00:44 +0800, Justin wrote: > Hi, > > I was wondering if it is possible to set a favourite and have freevo > record it whenever it is on automatically.

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo and VCR_CMD script support
If the VCR_CMD is recording fine minus the audio. Then you can use it
and use VCR_PRE_REC and VCR_POST_REC scripts for the sound, that way you
won't have problems stopping a recording when it is busy, you will when
you use a shell script for recording. see :
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/AnalogueTvTypes#head-8bb79382018da02017296f63f8129d52c5fcf990
Also check that you don't have multiples local_conf.py files
(~/local_conf.py - /etc/freevo/local_conf.py)
