[Freevo-users] Hints on using DVB-T
Hi, i recently had to switch to DVB-T. I managed to get my Hauppauge Nova-T working with Xine. Watching TV there is no problem, so next step is freevo integration. I searched the web for tips but found nothing. So i'm asking you for some tips or links on the following: - What has to be included in my TV_CHANNELS - Can i use the EPG data from the DVB stream? Or should I use something like NextEPG? tv_grab_** is not available in germany.

I ended up using the vdr-xine plugins to get vdr to do the dvb stuff as an extension of freevo. However, CVS versions of freevo seem to have really good dvb integration. Either check out cvs and see what it does for you (I think its not ready yet, but i'm not sure whats missing), or use the vdr-xine plugin, or, search the list on dvb, there's been plenty of posts on the topic in the past..

Re: [Freevo-users] Hints on using DVB-T
Hi there, we are using dvb-t for almost a year now, and it is working great. so maybe I can give you a few useful hints. As you managed to watch TV with xine, the difficult part is already done. That means you have a valid channel.conf in .xine (.mplayer). For freevo integration: 1.) Put the following in your local_conf.py VIDEO_GROUPS[0].group_type = 'dvb' 2.)TV_CHANNELS is not really different from analog TV, I guess. Something like: TV_CHANNELS = [ ( 'ard.de', 'ARD', 'ARD' ), ( 'zdf.de', 'ZDF', 'ZDF' ), ( 'wdr.de','WDR','WDR')] 3.)EPG: Unfortunately there is no programm for fetching the dvb-epg. And with a budget dvb-card without mpeg-decoder you can not use next-epg, as far as I know. (Please tell me, if that is not right anymore!) But tv_grab_de_tvtoday is working! You must use the cvs version, because tvtoday changed there interface a week or so ago, so that the older grabber is not working anymore. 4.) Recording: We are just dumping the dvb-stream to disk without any reencoding, because our hardware is not very fast, but we have lots of disc-space. We watch most of the recordings soon after the recording, and delete them afterwards. Our recording command is: VCR_CMD = CONF.mplayer + ' -dumpstream -dumpfile %(filename)s dvb://%(channel)s' TV_RECORDFILE_SUFFIX = '.ts' recording command is: Files are around 1GB for 1 hour recording. NOTE: You will need to copy your channel.conf to .mplayer for this to work. 5.) Watching recorded shows: You must add 'ts' to the list of filename suffixes that should be played with xine/mplayer: VIDEO_XINE_SUFFIX = [ 'ts','avi','vob','mpg','mpeg','rm', 'divx', 'ogm'] Greetings Tanja freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net schrieb am 10.08.05 11:19:35: Hi, i recently had to switch to DVB-T.

[Freevo-users] Audio selection
Hello, I have two dvd disk: - 5 element - i,robot Each of them have it's own set of audio tracks - 5 element (ru - ac3(normal), ru - dts(normal), en - ac3(normal)) - i,robot (en - ac3(normal), de - ac3(normal), de - dts(normal), en - ac3(2 channel comments1), en - ac3(2 channel comments2), en - ac3(2 channel comments3)) I set DVD_LANG_PREF = 'ru,en,de' in local_conf.py When I load any of this disks in dvd drive and start playing from freevo menu without any changes (from any chapter) all work fine. BUT if first I change in Audio selection audio track and after that start from any chapter I lost all sound track! I made some little detection of problem and found it: 1) if I choose any audio track freevo add in command line of mplayer parameter '-aid n'(where 'n' is a number of audio track i listing order); 2) if start up mplayer standalone with command line # mplayer dvd://1 -chapter 2 -ao alsa -v test.log then in test.log I found strings with right aid parameters! In my case it must be - 5 element: 128 for ru - ac3(normal) 137 for ru - dts(normal) 130 for en - ac3(normal) - i,robot: 128 for en - ac3(normal) 129 for de - ac3(normal) 138 for de - dts(normal) 131 for en - ac3(2 channel comments1) 132 for en - ac3(2 channel comments2) 133 for en - ac3(2 channel comments3) (audio track with remark 'comments' - is a actors comment track for movie) 3) if this aid number was substitute in command line of mplayer all work fine. Can you test this features and tell what changes must be done for right audio selection?

[Freevo-users] EPG and DVB-T
Hi again, ok some questions regarding EPG data remain. As I said, i am using a Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T card. Xine is working and showing my TV channels. So I recently heard (Thanks Tanja ;) ) that EPG is not available with budget dvb-t cards. I am getting EPG data with windows, so there should be a way to get them. Maybe with another software? I could even code something myself, but i'm not very proficient with linux device drivers. Any further tips here? Second alternative was the new tv_grab_de_tvtoday. With the old version, some months ago, i had the problem, that a scan over 3 days and about 15 channels took me about 2 hours. Is that the usual time? And I was unable to find a compiled version of the new grabber. I don't know about compiling these grabbers (the CVS i found contained only a tv_grab_de_tvtoday.in file?) Any links here? My third alternative would have been NextEPG. Complete EPG data is sent over some hidden pages inside VideoText wich I can use under windows. Has anyone tried something in this direction?

Complete EPG data is sent over some hidden pages inside VideoText wich I can use under windows. Has anyone tried something in this direction? scaning with NextEPG takes also some time. I guess it is not much faster than tv_grab. But you don't need a working internet connection, so this might be the better option if you have an analog tv card.

[Freevo-users] xmltv config for satellites
Hi, If I have my card hooked up to a satellite (say DISH or DIRECTV), how do I configure xmltv for that? Also, can I hook up a VCR output to the card and then use freevo to capture and record that output? I would simply watch tv, but then how do I record the content?

[Freevo-users] watch live tv?
Hi, I thought that watch tv also allowed me to watch live tv, or whatever is being captured by the card. However, when I click on watch tv I just get a screen that says No recordings are scheduled. Also, I have a question on XMLTV. I've run the tv_grab_dd to grab the listings, but how do I tie that in with freevo? Do I create a file and where do I save that file (is there a global location where the xmltv listings file needs to be)?
