Re: [Freevo-users] cover and imdb data
regatta a écrit : Hi 1. Where does freevo store the imdb data and the amazon covers ? should be in the same directory than the movie (music) itself. Data are stored in .fxd files (using xml formating). 2. Another question , how can I make Freevo always search for covers for all my music and all imdb data for all my Movies and also create a thumbnail for them automatically ? (I'm thinking about creating a cronjob for that) Cronjob is the best solution. If you don't understand python, it won't be that easy, though. 3. Is there any way I can setup special keys (not a normal key, for example the Mail/Home/Search keys in the Multimedia keyboards) ?

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo and MythTV
I have both working. But didn't much play around with Mytthv for now. Depending the default user I choose during startup either freevo or mythtv launches. A few differences - Freevo's screen layout looks better to me, specific since I'm using the mediaportal theme you'll find in the links page of the WIKI. (I don't like the themes supported in Mythtv...) - Mythtv looks more feature complete. You should expect some of these features to appear in a next release of freevo (picture in picture...) - Freevo is better documented. Mythtv uses a mysql database to register settings. If you're not have a excelent knowledge of mysql, you need to jump trough hoops to make it work decent. Specific for countries which aren't supported by standard install (xmltv). - Both are mainly using the same tools So mainly, my personal opinion: Freevo has a better layout, looks better and has better documentation.

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo and MythTV
I tried out myth once, and my experiences were as follows. - Myth's implementation of LIRC is total Scottish pants, using irxevent instead of lirc proper. OK, I pressed the button, nothing happened, waited a few seconds, pressed it again, FCS IT DID IT TWICE!! - The Myth interface is confusing, Do I press right to go to the next one in the lower right or do I press down? - The inbuilt configuration interface was impressive in some ways. However mysql is a beast and not really suitable for a set top box running on a 400Mhz arm chip. So freevo is definitely the way to go for the STB. - Myth has tv timeshifting, and picture in picture, we should be getting to this fairly soon in freevo thanks to the great work the developers are doing. - Freevo lacks and inbuilt configuration interface, however it shouldn't be too difficult to write one, and that is something I'd like to spend time on as soon as I've learned python (which I keep putting off) - Freevo could do with an on screen arrow key keyboard for renaming files and searching tv guides. I don't even think myth does that, but its something that would be cool. - Myth is built on QT and is compiled from source, even though its a binary application it still feels much slower than python/freevo, especially on remote control. - Requirements for myth include QT and many more libraries than freevo, QT is fairly large and if you're looking to put it on a small 2Gb hard drive you'd have little space left over for movies/music/pictures etc... - The themes are gayer than Brighton/San Fransisco. - Myth sucks - Freevo rocks - Vive la freevo wh00p!

Simple Interface (GOOD) 2. Very nice with slow PCs (GOOD) 3. Simple to install if you compare it to MythTV (Good) 4. No much themes available (BAD) 5. Not very will documented , you need to search the net for every step even if you expet in Linux, you have to search for every information , sorry this is what I think, please don't talk about wiki, it's has very small basic data (BAD) 6. Not easy to setup or add settings (you have to modify local_conf.py by hand) MythTV: 1. Can cut the Ads from recorded programs (GOOD) 2. You can use Picture on Picture (GOOD) 3. Slide Show built-in (GOOD) 4. Very will documented , check http://www.mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythInstall (GOOD) 5. It use the slowness libraries in the world !!, QT and not GPL (BAD) 6.

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo and MythTV
Not going to argue here, but I know mythtv is not well documented. at least not to a basic technical level when you have to tweak/adjust configurations. Just had to google a lot (a week, and I'm experienced linux user) to make tv working for the frequencies apropriate to my country. Generaly spoken, if you live in the U.S. or another supported country, you install without tweaking. I remember the setup in freevo was easier on this particular part. The user level doc is good. So it depends of a point of view and which type of docs you're looking at. So probably for you installing mytthv might be a peace of cake due to having a supported country.

Surely somebody else will not agree. But this is a personal opinion without flaming. Hi everyone, I just installed Freevo before 2 days and it was fun, but since I have more than one option (Thanks to the open source community) I was thinking about MythTV, (I don't want to start a war here , PLEASE) my question is there any Article or a table that compare Freevo and MythTV ? -- Best Regards, -*- If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem -*- --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by OpenProtect(http://www.openprotect.com), and is believed to be clean. http://gedeco.no-ip.org -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by OpenProtect(http://www.openprotect.com), and is believed to be clean. --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users ___ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo and MythTV
Citeren regatta [EMAIL PROTECTED]: | | MythTV: | 7. not good for slow PC since it will use QT and MYSQL (BAD) Not entirely correct: Freevo's TV section is not that fast either. Proper use of MySQL (o.a. indexed tables and smart queries) can result in a faster response than just parsing flat (xml) files. Though I'd rather seen that postgreSQl was supported too.

[Freevo-users] weather plugin hangs for non-root users
Hi, I installed freevo 1.5.3 with apt-get on my Debian system and I am quite happy with it. Only one problem, when I try to use the weather plugin as a non-root user everything works fine untill I want to update the weather. I sais Fetching weather for ... and returns to the weather screen but freezes afterwards. Even doing a kill -9 has no affect. Funny thing is, if I do everything as root it works fine. Anybody?
