[Freevo-users] shift tv

2005-02-27 Thread Alberto Hernando
Hi.

I'm finishing the install of my freevo. I'm using 1.5.3. I was wondering about 
pausing tv (shift tv?). Is it possible to do it? Here's a piece of my 
local.conf.py:


TV_RECORD_DIR = '/mnt/video'
TV_SETTINGS  = 'pal television europe-west /dev/video0'
TV_DRIVER = 'v4l2'
TV_DEVICE = '/dev/video0'
TV_INPUT = 0
FREEVO_CACHEDIR= '/home/mythtv/.freevo'
TIMESHIFT_BUFFER_SIZE = 500
TIMESHIFT_ENCODE_CMD = 'mp1e -m3 -c%s -p%s -r14,100' %(TV_SETTINGS.split(
[3],AUDIO_INPUT_DEVICE) 
TIMESHIFT_BUFFER = '/mnt/video/buffer.mpeg' 
TV_CHANNEL_PROG = './chchan %(channel)s %(norm)s %(freqtable)s'

TV_DATEFORMAT = '%e-%b' # Day-Month: 11-Jun
TV_TIMEFORMAT = '%H:%M' # Hour-Minute 14:05
TV_DATETIMEFORMAT = '%A %b %d %I:%M %p' # Thursday September 24 8:54 am
-

I use mplayer for tv, as tvtime doesn't work for me. It works as a stand-alone 
application, but not as a plugin. It just says 'no signal', and I get a blue 
screen with the name and number of the channels. Well, I press space bar and 
the image stops. Press again, and it goes on. But it jumps to real time tv 
again. While stopped, I try to find the buffer file, but I can't find it. I 
have mp1e installed, but perhaps it isn't well configured. Well, that's all I 
can say. I'd like very much to make this work and not having to use mythtv, 
as I think freevor is simpler to use and smoother to run.

Thanks

 Alberto

[Freevo-users] cant get lirc to run

2005-02-27 Thread Andreas Fürtig
hi!

after some time i now get lirc running and i installed pylirc (python setup.py 
install). 
i also have a file named  pylircmodule.so in my python site-package dir. but 
when i start freevo, i cant use my remote and the log sais:

I've tried freevo-1.5.2, freevo-1.5.3, from packages and from source. Always 
the same. The problem might be related to the font configuration. 
In /usr/share/freevo/fonts, I have:
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 65932 Aug 15  2003 Vera.ttf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 63208 Aug 15  2003 VeraBI.ttf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 58716 Aug 15  2003 VeraBd.ttf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 63684 Aug 15  2003 VeraIt.ttf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 55032 Aug 15  2003 VeraMoBI.ttf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 49052 Aug 15  2003 VeraMoBd.ttf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 54508 Aug 15  2003 VeraMoIt.ttf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 49224 Aug 15  2003 VeraMono.ttf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 60280 Aug 15  2003 VeraSe.ttf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 58736 Aug 15  2003 VeraSeBd.ttf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 58716 Feb 27 16:32 verabd.ttf <- this one copied by me

I have even put a symlink skin/fonts->fonts. It doesn't work.
The system is a debian sid, but with X.org from ubuntu, as this is the only 
way to have 3d rendering. The problem is that ubuntu gives another kind of 
problems. So if there is any thing I could (ugly hacks are welcome too)...

Thanks

 Alberto

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo and VNC

2005-02-27 Thread Satana
Wouldn't it be easier to do it with X or Xnest ?
From a remote box, you can issue :

X (or Xnest) :n -query hostname

Where n is the new session and hostname is the name (or ip) of the box running 
freevo.
If you're behind a firewall, you need to open TCP 6002 insted of VNC port (I 
guess it's 5900).

Alternatively, you can use rdesktop...

VNC is heavy, bloathed and unsecure (IMO). Plus it's slow and unstable...
Try Xnest it's really better (and it's linux native) !!!
