RE: [Freevo-users] Problem with MPlayer failing to play media
Hi, Thanks for that! Someone suggested XINE, which I was using for DVD playing! It appeared to work with no configuration! I'm not sure if this will give me problems in the future! I hope not!

I also use MPlayer1.0pre6 on a debian system, no problems here... You can get more debug information if you set the following in your local_conf.py DEBUG = 1 CHILDAPP_DEBUG = 1 Maybe you find a hint there. Moreover you can find the exact line which freevo uses to start mplayer with all options in the debug output. Try that command from a shell. Maybe it is one of the options freevo uses, that is responsible for your problems... Good luck Tanja freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net schrieb am 14.03.05 15:49:41: Hi, I have googled about a bit to find out about gmplayer! I can not find much. I did not install mplayer from source. I think that the freevo debian install did that. Is there anyway to add gmplayer to my current installation?

I have installed Freevo on Morphix (debian) I used the apt-get to install freevo. The problem is that mplayer will not play! It also does not give an error message. This is the same for both MP3 and AVI. Mplayer works fine from the command line. I have also looked at what is passed to it from freevo. This looks ok too. Freevo is the latest version and MPlayer is 1.0 pre 6. Have you installed mplayer from source? It sounds like mplayer works but gmplayer doesn't. Maybe you had gtk installed when compiled, but for some reason you have upgrades/uninstalled some important libraries and gmplayer doesn't work anymore. It won't popup a window complaining about this. To get some more info, just launch anything from console. You will see more error messages.

[Freevo-users] Setting Video Player Preference
Hi All,
I have another issue. Finally xxmc is working for Xine and I can get to
play DVDs with ~20% CPU w/ interlace and it's nice and all.
However, when I revert to playing AVI (DivX), I get the stutter and
jerkiness. If I revert to using XV, it works fine.
In /etc/freevo/local_conf.py
XINE_VIDEO_DEV = xxmc
I also tried
XINE_VIDEO_DEV = xxmc xv
XINE_VIDEO_DEV = xxmc,xv
XINE_VIDEO_DEV =
# XINE_VIDEO_DEV =
and I tried hacking the xine.py code to
elif item.mode == 'dvd' and hasattr(item.media, 'devicename'):
# dvd:///dev/dvd/2
[0] command.append('dvd://%s/%s' % (item.media.devicename,
item.url[6:]))
[1] command.append('-V xxmc')
[2] command.append('-V xxmc' 'dvd://%s/%s' % (item.media.devicename,
item.url[6:]))
[0] = Org
[1] = Putting this before the org invocation
[2] = putting the xxmc part inside the org invocation.
Neither [1] nor [2] worked.
self.command = [ '--prio=%s' % config.MPLAYER_NICE ] + \
config.XINE_COMMAND.split(' ') + \
[3] [ '--stdctl', '-V', config.XINE_VO_DEV,
'-A', config.XINE_AO_DEV ] +
I also tried changing [3] to only read [ '--stdctl',
but this didn't work either.
After all this, noticing that I could specify which media player were to
be used to play which type of files, I tried
XINE_VIDEO_SUFFIX = [ 'vob' ]
Didn't work either.
There must be a way to specify which player should be used to play which
type of media. Either that or someway to specify that if the media to be
played is to be DVD, then I should be using XINE and using the xxmc
video driver instead of XV.
PS : reading the xxmc readme, noticed that it says it will try the xxmc
and if it fails, it will fall back to using XV. I guess it's not really
failing (since it's able to locate the driver). It's just that it's
choppy.
in README_xxmc.html.gz, there's the option
video.device.xvmc_more_frames:1
How do I turn this on and will it help??
PS : Please CC me directly as List mail isn't getting to me for some
unknown reason.

[Freevo-users] channel switching and volume control problem...
Hi
My freevo is upand running, but there is still something wrong...
I use only keyboard.
Hauppauge WinTv PCI (analog)
Matrox G450
vga-scart cable
directfb
I get tvguide working just fine, but channel switching wont work. I
even tryed to put EVENTS['tv']['UP']=Event('TV_CHANNEL_UP') and
EVENTS['tv']['DOWN']=Event('TV_CHANNEL_DOWN') in my local_conf.py
file...that doesnt help.
So now i need to chance the channels pressing esc and select it from
tvguide...
Volume adjust wont work from keyboard eather. Controls 9 and 0 gives a
volume-adjust-picture to tv-screen, but volume-bar is'nt moving...
However i can adjust a volume in local_conf.py.
Other controls seems to work pressing help h while watching tv
screen goes messed up, like it loses the singnal... In tvguide or
everywhere else in menu control-h is working.
Tv picture is reasonably good, but it flash too much...
Can you give me a hint what could be wrong?
Hope you understand my english...
Thanks in advance V.S

[Freevo-users] ability to pause/ffw/rew ?
Hi, Does freevo give you the capability to perform these functions, and if so, is it only available for pre-recorded content, or can it also be done with live TV? Does anyone know any dvr software for linux that is capable of pause/rew live TV?
