Re: [Freevo-users] Accumulating audio delay with EMU10k1

 I have this weird problem. I used to use two SoundBlaster awe64 using

 another so I could play audio and games while recording, since the 1371
 doesn't support full duplex. (And besides, the D/A on the output isn't
 very good... )
 I changed it for a single Soundblaster Live! which seems to work
 perfectly for both recording and watching live tv etc. However with
 longer recordings, it seems to accumulated an audio delay which wasn't
 present before with the ens1371.. this happens even if I dont use the
 computer for anything else during the recording and my mencoder process
 uses between 50-60 and shows no signs of framedrops.

 Has anybody else observed this problem? do I really have to ditch my
 Live! card?
 I'll try using alsa for input, but this hasn't been successfull in the
 past..

I use a similar setup, but with a emu 10k2 and I do not observe the same
problem. What driver do you use? ALSA or OSS. I use ALSA which was buggy
when I started but is stable now. What might be different with my freevo box
is that I use suspend to RAM and I unload/reload the emu10k module upon
suspend/resume.

Hi again!

Yes, it's an audigy.

 I use oss. I haven't investigated alsa since I got confused the first
 time, however with your recommendation I'll give it another go. Can you
 possibly recommend som options for mencoder?
 for now I use: adevice=/dev/dsp0:audiorate=44100:buffersize=64
 using oss emulation and alsa drivers.

I let mencoder read directly from the tv card. My config is

 adevice=/dev/dsp2:audiorate=32000:forceaudio:forcechan=1:buffersize=64

where /dev/dsp2 is the audio device from the second analog tv card (i
actually use 2 to support live tv and record at the same time). Note, that
if you do that (it should work for at least bt8x8 and saa7134 based cards)
you are tailored to a small set of sampling rates you can choose from (usually
32000 and 48000). I've chosen 32000 as there were some problems with 48000
and analog tv audio bandwidth is at 15000 here in Germany anyway, so 32000
should be fairly enough. Note that direct sampling from the tv card should
result in synchronized audio and video, whereas the usual pass-through
cable adds some delay.

[Freevo-users] Re: nvram-wakeup integration status ?

2005-03-17 Thread Rene Schroeder
Hi Georg,

 P.S.: Can anyone provide detailed info about grub setup for nvram-wakeup
 reboots ? I'd like to add this functionality to the script.
I am using grub and the following works for me. You need
grub and the oneshot patch¹.

My  grub.conf looks like:

#
# boot my favorite linux
#
title Gentoo
...

#
# the PowerOff section
#
title PowerOff
# take care to boot Gentoo the next time
savedefault --default=0 --once
halt


You need the following command to activate the PowerOff section:
echo savedefault --default=1 --once quit | /sbin/grub


Hope that helps
René

 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?

No problem with pre-recorded things!
Freevo uses mplayer, xine or tvtime for watching TV, so anything which is 
possible with 
those applications should also work in freevo.
Thus as far as I know there is no pause/rew of Live TV available. 

 Does anyone know any dvr software for linux that is capable of pause/rew
 live TV?

I don't know. Sorry!

Tanja

[Freevo-users] Mplayer DirectFB hanging -- meethinks its a fusion problem

2005-03-17 Thread Matthew Goeden
Howdy ya'll,
I have finally gotten my g400 directfb gentoo system working.  I am  
using the DirectFB CVS and linux-fusion CVS.  Mplayer looks and works  
great from the command line.  Freevo (CVS) looks looks and works great.  
 However, when I try and play a movie from the Freevo menu, the freevo  
menu fades out and the blank screen remains.  I can press 'Esc' to get  
back to the menu, but no matter what I do, the video won't play.  I  
turned up the debuging and here are my mplayer log files (below).  Can  
anybody help me?

I think my multi-app directFB fusion stuff ain't workng?  Where do I  
start?

   I'm curious why you're using CVS versions? I am quite successful using
0.9.21 and 0.9.22 with similar hardware. 

   I see you're attempting to play '2 fast, 2 furious'. Perhaps the
computer is objecting to a request to play such an awful movie? Maybe you
should try something that doesn't involve riced up cars and Vin Diesel?
(sorry, it's a cheap shot, but i had to take it)

   More seriously, I see that your mplayer is an old version and appears to
have been compiled with runtime cpu detection, or at least on a different
cpu than the one you're running it on. 

   This would indicate, perhaps, that your mplayer isn't compiled against
the version of directfb you're running. 

   Tried compiling 1.0pre6a? 

   I also have to admit some ignorance as to what the linux-fusion package
is supposed to be. I just applied the fusion and mga kernel patches
included with the directfb source.

[Freevo-users] Movie/Video catalog Plugins

2005-03-17 Thread Kang Khoon Seang
Hi all,

I am new to this list, and FreeVo :)

May I know if there is any FreeVo plugins that allow me to do something
like, maybe that work with MySQL, and I have to catalog the movie tracks I
have in my HDD by artist, title, gendre, etc.

So, when I would like to play back the movies I have, the plugin menu will
let me choose by either category, and retrieve the movie from the HDD (if
possible, I will do it NFS way :) )

Thanks for any recommendations.

Cheers!

Best regards,
Kang

Re: [Freevo-users] Mplayer DirectFB hanging -- meethinks its a fusion problem

2005-03-17 Thread Matthew Goeden
   I'm curious why you're using CVS versions? I am quite successful 
using
0.9.21 and 0.9.22 with similar hardware.

I don't exactly remember.  But, i think it was because I had to use the 
CVS of the fusion patch (for some reason -- I wish I could remember).


   I see you're attempting to play '2 fast, 2 furious'. Perhaps the
computer is objecting to a request to play such an awful movie? Maybe 
you
should try something that doesn't involve riced up cars and Vin Diesel?
(sorry, it's a cheap shot, but i had to take it)

That's a good call!!.  Unfortunately, that movie was only selected 
since it appeared at the top of my list (instead of my undying love for 
crappy acting)


   More seriously, I see that your mplayer is an old version and 
appears to
have been compiled with runtime cpu detection, or at least on a 
different
cpu than the one you're running it on.

   This would indicate, perhaps, that your mplayer isn't compiled 
against
the version of directfb you're running.

well, mplayer was just whatever was current in the portage tree.  I 
don't think anything is wrong with my mplayer because it works fine 
from the command line.

   I also have to admit some ignorance as to what the linux-fusion 
package
is supposed to be. I just applied the fusion and mga kernel patches
included with the directfb source.


the linux-fusion package I was talking about was just the linux fusion 
patch -- sorry for the confusion.

 any other idea?

Apart from if freevo's dependencie's are met and your config is fine, I
have no idea, but touch to make the file is noy the way:
 /var/cache/freevo/record_schedule.xml:0:0: No top-level Nodes in
 document
Start with an empty dir.
I have a similar setup and never ran into (that kind) of trouble.
I saw you don't have Pylirc, that has nothing to do with this (I think)
but maybe your missing some other dependencies as wel.

   You should check out the Sejun Suzuki classic Branded to Kill some
day. SS worked for a company in japan that had actors and crew on salaried
contracts, and wrote scripts by committee. He had no film experience when
he was hired, and in fact had only seen five or six movies. 

   He believes that every shot has the right to be treated as a work of
art in and of itself, and that outside of that, it didn't matter, for
example, if two people talking to each other in a scene were actually both
sitting down, or even in the same room, or if perhaps one of them was
sitting at a bar and the other one was standing outside, as long as one of
them was facing to the right and the other was facing to the left - people
would understand that they were having a conversation. 

   He was extremely efficient. Most movies were shot in a week, and editing
took him one day. He takes the best version of each shot and splices them
all together in order, and applies soundtrack. 

   The leading man in most of his movies, Jo Shishido, had noticed that
most successful actors in japan have some sort of physical feature that
sets them apart, and had his cheek bones enhanced by a plastic surgeon. 

   (This is still largely true - One of the best actors in japan in the
last 10 years is Takeshi Kitano - who's face is paralyzed on one side from
a motorcycle accident. You may recognize him from Spike TV's Most Extreme
Elimination Challenge game show, called Takeshi's Castle in japan.)

   He'd made something like 60 movies in 11 years working for this company
when he cranked out Branded to Kill. After it was released in 1967 he was
called in for a meeting, where he was told Your movies make no sense, and
make no money. You're fired. -- he successfully sued for breach of
contract. 

   BtK is so inexplicable as to be pure art. I was never able to say Huh?
with such conviction. 

   More than a cult classic, people have been ripping it off ever since,
sometimes a couple shots, sometimes entire scenes. 

 
 More seriously, I see that your mplayer is an old version and 
  appears to
  have been compiled with runtime cpu detection, or at least on a 
  different
  cpu than the one you're running it on.

 don't think anything is wrong with my mplayer because it works fine 
 from the command line.


   Well, it's just a guess, because mplayer has to link against directfb
when it builds, and unless you built it after directfb, it's not linked
against the version of directfb you're running. Which wouldn't prevent it
from working, but might prevent it from working perfectly. 

   Are you sure you don't have muliple versions of directfb floating around
your system? 


 
 I also have to admit some ignorance as to what the linux-fusion 
  package
  is supposed to be. I just applied the fusion and mga kernel patches
  included with the directfb source.

   Yeah, I figured that out. Did you apply the matroxfb-g400-clock patch
and the matroxfb-full-memory patch? (I forget if both of these exist for
2.6, I know the irq patch isn't required since about 2.4.22) 

   More to the point, what does your directfbrc look like? And the mplayer
options in your freevo config? 

   I wish i could be more specific, yesterday i installed a new motherboard
in my freevo system and it's not actually plugged in at the moment, so i
can't ssh into it and poke around.

Re: [Freevo-users] nvram-wakeup integration status ?

2005-03-17 Thread Tanja Striepling
Hi Georg, 

I am playing around with your script at the moment...

I am not sure yet, but there might be a problem with taking the wakeup time from
/var/cache/freevo/upsoon.
It seems as if this file is only updated, when a user opens the TV-Guide inside 
of freevo.
That would mean:
1.) It is not updated, when one has run freevo schedulefavorites
2.) If you leave your freevo box unattended for a few days,
 things from the This Week part of upsoon, never will become Today or 
Tomorrow,
 and thus freevo won't wake up for them

Maybe my assumptions are wrong here, I will investigate this more.
Any comments? 

Regards
Tanja

Re: [Freevo-users] nvram-wakeup integration status ?

2005-03-17 Thread Georg Künzel
 It seems as if this file is only updated, when a user opens the TV-Guide
 inside of freevo. That would mean:
Damn, you're right. I didn't run into that because of my daily freevo use.
So there is one more problem we can't solve the native way. But we
_can_ solve this (bash supports socket communication), again not very 
stylishly:

Enable Freevo network remote access:

ENABLE_NETWORK_REMOTE = 1
REMOTE_CONTROL_HOST = '127.0.0.1'
REMOTE_CONTROL_PORT = 16310

Add something like this to the bash script right before it starts reading the 
upsoon file:

# show main menu 
echo -e -n 'MENU' /dev/udp/127.0.0.1/16310
# go up, 10 times should be enough even with all main menu plugins activated
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
do
echo -e -n 'UP' /dev/udp/127.0.0.1/16310
done
# open TV menu, upsoon file gets refreshed
echo -e -n 'SELECT' /dev/udp/127.0.0.1/16310

I'll update the wakeup-script tomorrow. Good night.

Georg
