[Freevo-users] PVR-250 tv help
I've used Freevo for quite a while, but I just now purchased a pvr-250 and am trying to get tv watching working... it's not going well. From what I have read using a pvr-250 should just basically work, so perhaps I'm doing something stupid. I am running FC3 and Freevo 1.5.3. When I try try to view a channel from the tv guide, I get a black window for a moment and then I return to the guide. If I manually run the mplayer command I see: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# mplayer -vo x11, -fs -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100 -screenw 800 -screenh 600 -fs -slave -nocache tv:// -tv driver=v4l:freq=77.250:device=/dev/video0:input=0:norm=NTSC:width=640:height=480:outfmt=yuy2 MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.4.3 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel Celeron 2/Pentium III Coppermine,Geyserville (Family: 6, Stepping: 6)Detected cache-line size is 32 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Opening joystick device /dev/input/js0 Can't open joystick device /dev/input/js0 : No such file or directory Can't init input joystick Playing tv://. TV detected! ;-) No such driver: v4l Exiting... (End of file) I also tried v4l2 as the driver with the same result. xawtv does not appear to wrok either. In my xorg log I see: (II) LoadModule: "v4l" (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/linux/v4l_drv.o (II) Module v4l: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 6.8.2, module version = 0.0.1 ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.7 and if I run v4l-conf I see: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# v4l-conf v4l-conf: using X11 display :0.0 dga: version 2.0 mode: 1024x768, depth=24, bpp=32, bpl=4096, base=0xe000 /dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support So it seems like I have vl4 loaded ok. If I run mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0 mplayer will get video off the pvr 250, so the card is functional. Basically I am stumped. Searching the mailing list and google has failed to turn up anything I can identify as a solution. Any ideas out there?

Re: [Freevo-users] Re: Sorting Music?
Slightly offtopic, but its good prctice to prepend your music files with the track number, padded with zero's to 2 chars if needed. This keeps your mp3's in order in a pretty application agnostic way. jake Quoting Karl Lattimer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Would it not be possible for freevo 2.0 to also take a look at the path to the current folder and search for albums with that folder name, the reasoning for this would be that you could do a meta data search (as we do for retrieving album covers) and create an m3u list for an album, as in some albums its best to listen to them in their original order I think adding this feature to sorting would be pretty cool. Also it may be a good idea to add this data back into the mp3 track id3 tag, maybe even syncing the album art back onto the tracks. As I listen to music on a number of devices including an ipod photo it would be excellent if freevo could maintain id3 tags for files so other devices can get the correct data.

Hi Guys, Can anybody download any of the addons on the freevo website? I've tried with IE and firefox and I can't get to the files. Is this just me or does this happen with everybody ?

But for 2 displays (monitor and tv), is is a good idea to let freevo always run on tv and use the normal X on the monitor. Dischi -- "I've not lost my mind.
