[Freevo-users] HowTo use Lirc with different applications ?
Hello, With my Gen2VDR Distribution I want to use lirc for freevo AND vdr. Both applications are running and if a key is pressed only the foreground application should react.

Re: [Freevo-users] VCRVO project, a note on cables
I do agree using gold cables is a joke. But gold doesn't oxidate as well, thats one of the benefits. Most contact problems of cabling are real mechanical problems combined with oxidation. Oxidation would make the resistance higher and therefore the quality of a signal lower. In coax, higher resistance would result in more signal reflections in the cable, so lower quality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold The best way I know but, not always possible: create a good contact and seal it of from the air, keep it away from heat sources. So it can't oxidate. Heating and cooling of contacts makes the connectors move. For lower power electronics I used a hot glue pistol to seal contacts. Never had any problems any more for contacts treaded this way. Never used gold, but I suspect this would be the main reason. You would only be able to hear the difference between gold an other connectors, if there is already some bad contact. gislain wautriche wrote: I don't believe in ultra-quality cables, and seeing some made with gold, men ! that's a real joke ! To be clear : cable is cable, it's just a piece of metal.( Some people claims they can hear the difference between a gold and a copper cable, come on, let's be serious) BUT cables are build in a certain way, it looks like people are messing a lot, here around. there are different cable types : - coaxial cables are shielded which makes them noise protected - twisted pairs are used when the signal is balanced (balancing signal is a way to protect from noise) when not balanced, this cable type is highly noise sensitive. Cables also have impedance which is extremely important in high frequency range. - video cables are 75 ohms (coaxial type) - phones (and network) cables are 100 ohms (mostly twisted pair types) - audio cables have no impedance ( theorie : 0 ohms) because they carry low frequencies signals (coaxial type) Messing with cable impedance will result in signal loss. Messing with cable type will result in noise gain. When in audio range, the less impedance, the better. So theoretically gold is better than any other metals. But, actually the audio input impedance of every apparels is so high that : - there's no real relevant signal loss. - it must be well shielded (coaxial) because there's an antenna effect when connected to a high impedance input. Conclusion is to use the correct cable type and impedance, use quality cables, but don't go buying gold when it works as good with normal ones. Gis.

Thats why we use it in networking instead of coax, in networks we grew out of coax in the eighties apart from the odd ring of posterity. I wouldn't dream of disputing that. I also think it's entirely irrelevant for the kind of signal that's sent over a typical home theater cable.

Hi, I have both freevo and VDR running in Debian. Freevo outputs through Matrox G400 and VDR through a dxr3-card.

That solution is only for VDR systems without a Fullfeatured DVB Card useful. Most of the user of my distri have a CPU 1 Ghz and a FF DVB card :) Anyway vdr-xine is already enabled, so using only freevo works fine :-) I found a solution for VDR in the meantime. I just write a plugin which does nothing else than switching FreeVo to the foreground and avoids vdr from reacting to lirc keys, until I switched back from FreeVo. No I need exactly such a plugin for FreeVo.

Hi. I have the error from subject when I press select on a show in tv guide. I have defined FREQUENCY_TABLE and TV_CHANNELS both with one channel only, also I have an xmltv file with program for that one channel. What does that error mean? By the way, I had to link xmltv file to the default location /tmp/TV.xml as freevo ignored XMLTV_FILE setting. Thanks for any info.

[Freevo-users] How does MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS work?
Hey, I have a unichrome board and I need to pass the following two options to mplayer: -vc ffmpeg12mc -vo xvmc I have tried setting MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS = xvmc -vc ffmpeg12mc and this kind of works. freevo actually passes -vo xv,sdl,x11,xvmc -vc ffmpeg12mc to mplayer. mplayer seems to choose one of the earlier options before it gets to xvmc though. (CPU usage is way up there.) Anyway, I don't think that I am using this option correctly. How am I supposed to use this option to pass in xvmc, and get rid of the defaults?
