Re: [Freevo-users] changing a dvd while running freevo
This link in the wiki is related to this discussion http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/MovieUsage I believe the point is due to distributions which have automount working by default for the CD/DVD device. In my case I had replace it by submount. So disabling any mounting of the DVD/CD should work fine. At least I'm gonna try that. The only way were submount should be effective: you use the computer for multiple purposes (Desktop). So somewhere in the WIKI there should be a statement to drop automounting systems for dvd/cd in order to avoid possible issues. Or is there a way to disable this default behaviour in freevo? Most linux distributions will include (actually they do) more and more auto mounting systems. BTW Evan: Greet is a christian name for female. My name is Geert.

Re: [Freevo-users] changing a dvd while running freevo
All I know is that if I have a disc mounted then start and stop freevo it is no longer mounted. Freevo must have some internal mounting already built in because when I put in a CD or DVD it automatically "mounts" it (I don't know if it is officially mounted or if it's just some internal trickery) and when I press the eject button on the drive itself it is unmounted and ejected automatically. I think the real problem that should be addressed is: If this is not working for you without supermount/submount then what is wrong with the freevo configuration you have as it SHOULD work like you want it to WITHOUT external automounting facilities. 2005/7/28, Evan Hisey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Greet- > I would say, preformance issue are the big thing.

Re: [Freevo-users] changing a dvd while running freevo
Greet- I would say, preformance issue are the big thing. Freevo has not need to have any disc's mounted to play and the eject buttons work fine on my drives. As understand it Freevo handles that part in the background. Running a second system to do the same thing, is going ot add alot of undeeded over head with the potential of race or confilcts between the two systems. Lastly it just makes installing freevo that much harder Evan.

Re: [Freevo-users] freevo can't find python version with installed freevo
Micheal-
My guess, WHen you did the build world, for whatever reason Freevo
did not rebuild agaisnt the new version of python. I had this happen
when I upgrade the python on my slackware box, but did not recompile
freevo for the new version.

Thank you for this package for slack, I was searching for one of this month ago, now I'm using cvs version, but this is a nice idea.2005/7/27, Evan Hisey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Shawn - that would be becuase I goofed up the URL, try :http://tgz.eng.ua.edu/slackware-10.1/freevo-meta-0.1-noarch-1ft.tgz It is the 1.5.3 release of Freevo. as soon as 2.0 gets in to a goodbeta stage I will start playing with it.Sidenote this is also a swaret repo, so you can just pick and choose stuff also.EvanOn 7/26/05, Shawn Dowler < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:> The link doesn't work for me.

Re: [Freevo-users] changing a dvd while running freevo
Evan, Could you be more specific? I don't see why you find this a bad idea. > Greet- > I think using something like submount/supermount is just a bad idea > in this case. Freevo handles VCD/CD/DVD just fine without any kind of > mounting madness outside of freevo. I added submount to make my freevobox pass the housewife :) test. Normal users will push the eject button. Like they use to do with CD players. They expect the devices behave like this. Intuitive behaviour. Creating a application where the user has to read a phone-book size manual full of exceptions doesn't make much sense to me. Mounted CD's needs to be umounted first before ejecting. Anyway, thnx to submount CD's get ejected using the eject button instead of issuing the eject command from the keyboard/remote control. adding a new CD to the tray gets automagicly detected and applied into freevo. So far I didn't see any problem with it. Perhaps this could raise performance issue with slower processors? Mandriva users using freevo should already have this feature thanks to supermount.

[Freevo-users] freevo and netblock
Hello freevo-users, I have one question - how made work freevo and netblock device instead real dvdrom drive? For example: i have two computers connected by network cable - one have dvdrom device and on another start freevo (1.5.3 + mmpython 0.49). If freevo used local device all work fine(thanks for developers!), but if used device over netblock don't work autorecognition and freevo deside that device have no disk. However lsdvd and mplayer work fine with dvdrom over netblock device. This my configuration: 1) (computer that have dvdrom) kernel - 2.4.26 dvdrom - /dev/hdc command for start netblock server - # enbd-server 4004 -m -r /dev/hdc 2) (computer on which start freevo) kernel - 2.4.26 netblock driver - 2.4.32 (there is no corelation between kernel version and netblock version) freevo - 1.5.3 (mmpython 0.49, python 2.3) command for start netblock client - # enbd-client 192.168.7.98:4004 -n 4 /dev/nda command that work fine # lsdvd /dev/nda # mplayer dvd://1 (i have symbolic link /dev/dvd -> /dev/nda, /dev/cdrom -> /dev/nda) Could you help me? Or just explainme why this set don't work? Thanks a lot! -- BTW, Александр пишите: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
