I am setting freevo up on my iMac (to be moved to to a mac mini when I buy one) though. Nice. Maybe you can add some of your doings to the wiki. 1. Why is the fullscreen option only available with x11? It seems to me that pygame is the abstraction layer and it handles fullscreen just fine on Mac OS X (using the quartz display engine). Because I only had X11 and framebuffer in mind. You don't need it for fb, so we only support X11. :) 2. Why do I have to set the display geometry in the freevo.conf? Again, pygame can determine all of the display modes that work for the depth Freevo is working at (32bits) and then take the highest. That would take some of the manualness out of things (unless people wanted to specifically set that value). Freevo needs to know the resolution. So we set it to make sure both Freevo and Pygame are on the same side. 3. How do I configure Freevo to show the movie posters and description and stuff when browsing movies (a la http://freevo.sourceforge.net/ss/blurr/freevo_ss3_640.jpg)? Use the imdb helper (freevo imdb --help) 4. Is there any more documentation on the picture slide show features? I haven't seen a single thing other than a note in the wiki about ssr files. Ignore the ssr files, better use slideshows in fxd files. Dischi -- C makes it easy for you to shoot yourself in the foot.

[Freevo-users] Installation instructions for Mac OS X
I added instructions to the Wiki about how to install Freevo on Mac OS X. It's under the Installation page, but here's the link anyway: http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/MacOSX Please note that the instructions only cover getting movies, music, and pictures working. I do not have a TV capture card yet (I'm saving up) or a remote. When I get those, I'll update the Wiki to show how to get that working. -- PC Drew --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.

[Freevo-users] Error on startup and shutdown.
Hi, have installed Freevo on a new Slackware 10.2 box. I have tweaked the kernel, which is 2.4.31. Freevo is functioning as expected, but I have a strange error when starting and stopping Freevo. It does not appear in the log (DEBUG and CHILDAPP_DEBUG both turned on) and mailing list/Google search does not shed any light. The output to the screen is : Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/bin/freevo, line 473, in ? start(name, python + proc , bg, check) File /usr/bin/freevo, line 270, in start os.execvp(arg[0], arg) File /usr/lib/python2.4/os.py, line 348, in execvp _execvpe(file, args) File /usr/lib/python2.4/os.py, line 386, in _execvpe func(fullname, *argrest) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/bin/freevo, line 473, in ? start(name, python + proc , bg, check) File /usr/bin/freevo, line 270, in start os.execvp(arg[0], arg) File /usr/lib/python2.4/os.py, line 348, in execvp _execvpe(file, args) File /usr/lib/python2.4/os.py, line 386, in _execvpe func(fullname, *argrest) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Have I removed something from the kernel I should not have or is something else amiss? Many thanks, snickwad.
[Freevo-users] No sound or tunability in tvtime when called from freevo
Hi, I just installed freevo on a Fedora Core 3 Machine. I have a Hauppauge winTV go tv card I can watch tv get sound perfectly when using 'tvtime' as a standalone app. I configged local_conf.py the best I could after reading the howtos on freevo.sourceforge.net. In order to config the channels in the TV_CHANNELS variable, I used a perl script (link) on the xmltv listings (I got a login at zap2it and have a cron job setup that uses tv_grab_na_dd to download station lists into my home directory as /home/daneel/listings.xml. I fired up tvtime it reads the channels from that file well, so I configged freevo to read that as well) and copied the output into the variable at local_conf.py. Nevertheless, when I click on a particular program that's being broadcasted, tvtime shows up blank with no signal on channel 0. I can't change the channels using my keyboard keys or anything. The config files are localted here: http://www.ph.utexas.edu/~daneel/freevo/freevo.conf http://www.ph.utexas.edu/~daneel/freevo/local_conf.py output of xmltv2freevo.pl is : http://www.ph.utexas.edu/~daneel/freevo/channels.conf Which is cut-pasted into local_conf.py I'm new to freevo and it seems to be just what the doctor ordered. I'd really appreciate some advice as to how to get tvtime to work properly within freevo I installed freevo from the rpms in 'freevo' repo for yum in FC3 freevo-1.5.3-1_fc2 Thanks for your attention.
