[Freevo-users] PVR350 / Fedora Core 1 / Framebuffer
Hello, I'm currently using a Hauppauge PVR350 on Fedora Core 1. I am using Freevo 1.5.3 and have managed to get most things I require working... i.e. X on Framebuffer, Audio, Web Radio etc. My problem lies when trying to watch live TV or watch a video. It is neccesary to use "ivtvfbctl --nolocalalpha --globalalpha" or "ivtvfbctl --localalpha --noglobalalpha" to switch between X and MPlayer's Framebuffer output. Now, there are config settings...OSD_SDL_EXEC_AFTER_STARTUP = ""OSD_SDL_EXEC_AFTER_CLOSE = "" I've created Bash scripts to run the relevant "ivtvfbctl" command, but nothing seems to happen. When I select a Video item or TV, the Freevo interface closes and leaves me with my X desktop, but the Movie does not appear. However, the video is playing as the Freevo interfaces remains hidden for the exact duration of the video and then reappears. Also, if I manually type the "ivtvfbctl" commands into a terminal, I can get the video to appear. Now, apart from this one complication, I have impressed my housemates and other friends and colleagues with Freevo as it is such an excellent product. I've used my Freevo project as an introduction to Linux. Please can anyone help?Cheers,Louis KingFreemote Developerhttp://freemote.sf.net[EMAIL PROTECTED] ipFour Internet Security Policy --- This email message is intended only for the addressee(s) and contains information that may be confidential and/or copyright.

[Freevo-users] Running Freevo automatically as NON-Root
Hi All, currently this machine (EPIA-M10K) is being used as a standalone box running Freevo on Gentoo. I've made it such that /etc/init.d/local will start freevo during bootup, as in the settings below. Now, I noticed that it's running as root and I don't quite like that. I need some pointers on how to get Freevo to auto-downgrade itself to a normal user. Can it be done? I most certainly think it could, only question is, can someone teach me how? # no: don't start Freevo # yes:start Freevo on startup. You should only use this when the # computer is for Freevo only or you use Freevo with a DXR3 # daemon: start Freevo in daemon mode. The daemon will wait for you to # press QUIT or POWER on your remote and will than start # Freevo. After Freevo shut down, the daemon will wait again. # # You don't need a X server running to start Freevo from init. If # needed, Freevo will start a X server on its own. Make sure your X # server can handle the resolution defined in /etc/freevo/freevo.conf freevo=yes -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
