[Freevo-users] freevo on UNichrome (was: Re: ivtv and via unichrome tv-out interference???)
Small addition: make sure you select the right hardware accelerated vo devices for xine and mplayer, in local_conf.py: MPLAYER_VO_DEV = "xvidix" XINE_VO_DEV = 'xxmc' and put colorkey=0x00 in your .mplayer/config file (haven't been able to make that work from local_conf.py but this works just as well).

[Freevo-users] VIDEO_GROUPS in 1.6
I am expecting my second capture card today (also ivtv) and have been reading up on the Wiki on how to configure that to get two shows to be recorded at the same time. The text in the wiki did not help me much so I looked at the source. fc = FreevoChannels() if DEBUG: print 'CHAN: %s' % fc.getChannel() (v_norm, v_input, v_clist, v_dev) = config.TV_SETTINGS.split() v = tv.ivtv.IVTV(v_dev) v.init_settings() vg = fc.getVideoGroup(self.prog.tunerid, False) if DEBUG: print 'Setting Input to %s' % vg.input_num v.setinput(vg.input_num) if DEBUG: print 'Setting Channel to %s' % self.prog.tunerid fc.chanSet(str(self.prog.tunerid), False) This suggests to me that the capture device is tied to a channel and not allocated dynamically based on availability. Is that correct? Or am I simply missing something and can I get what I want with a suitably crafted VIDEO_GROUPS construct?

[Freevo-users] [Announce] Licence change for Kaa Media Repository
Hi everone, I want to announce the licence change from GPL to LGPL for some modules of the Kaa Media Repository. What is Kaa Media Repository? The Kaa Media Repository is a repository of more or less independed Python modules that have something to do with media in general. It is the base for Freevo 2.0, maybe MeBox (similar to Freevo) and possible smaller helper applications. If you want to write a media player in Python, an EPG browser and a Media Library Browser, kaa is the place where you should start looking. What is LGPL, what stays GPL? I tried to make as much as possible LGPL. Not everything can be made LGPL because of GPL dependencies or because some parts are copied from GPL projects. kaa.base LGPL, every kaa module depends on it kaa.beacon Server is GPL, client API LGPL kaa.canvas LGPL (will be replaced by kaa.candy and also LGPL) kaa.cherrypy LGPL kaa.displayLGPL kaa.epgLGPL kaa.evas LGPL kaa.imlib2 LGPL kaa.metadata GPL (mmpython, depends on GPL code) kaa.mevas GPL (could be LGPL, but kaa.mevas is deprecated) kaa.popcornGPL (maybe generic API LGPL and some backends GPL) kaa.record GPL (has xine and VDR code in it) kaa.xine GPL (libxine is GPL) There is code from me now in LGPL modules. That should not happen. My goal was to ask all people writing code for the modules before making the change. But some parts are copied from Freevo and maybe I missed an author. If that has happen, please send me a mail and tell me either that you agree to the LGPL change and I add you to the AUTHORS file or if you don't agree, tell me what your code is and I will remove it.

Re: [Freevo-users] freevo 1.6 miss reading DVDs
Duncan- Seems I am having trouble reproducing that zip error again. As far I can tell nothing has changed on my software. It may have been a race condition that caused it.I will keep trying to find it again. Also there is an issue with using versions of Xine that are not compiled with lirc spport. Freevo assumes it is there and sends the -nolirc option to xine which crashes if lirc support was not compiled in. This is really an xine bug. Should it be listed as a known problem or do you want to try to code a freevo side fix. There is a work around that I have been using that involved editing teh xine.py plugin to remove the -nolirc option from the command line. Maybe set local_config.py switch to turn it on or off?

there is an issue with using versions of Xine that are not compiled

This is really an xine bug. Should it be listed as a known problem or
do you want to try to code a freevo side fix. There is a work around
that I have been using that involved editing teh xine.py plugin to
remove the -nolirc option from the command line. Maybe set
local_config.py switch to turn it on or off?
Personally I think the xine developers are not being logical, I don't
see why they should disable --no-lirc when lirc has not been built-in.
I really doesn't make much sense to have a xine built without lirc and
then use freevo with lirc enabled. So I would suggest that xine is
rebuilt with lirc support.
From the freevo side: if lirc is not being used then the code in rc.py
checks for config.LIRCRC it the file that this points to doesn't exist
then PYLIRC is FALSE.
In video/plugins/xine the following is defined:
if not rc.PYLIRC and '--no-lirc' in command:
command.remove('--no-lirc')
I which case the --no-lirc option is *not* passed to xine.
Seems reasonable to me, don't you think?

[Freevo-users] How can I do to handle my plextor convertX(livetv(pause, etc...record...)
Hi guys, I'm running freevo v1.5.4. I want to use it as follow: 1/ look TV 2/ look TV and record it at the same time 3/ record only tv 4/others freevo cool things :) step 4 is ok... but don't know how to handle step 1,2,3 :) To watch tv I can use this command in console mode: ./gorecordmod -input 0 -mode secam-l -bitrate 4000 -stdout /dev/null 2/dev/null | bfr -m 80 -b 1 -p | mplayer -vo gl2 -delay -0.3 -vf pp=mcdeint=3 - /dev/null 2/dev/null ./gorecordmod is the apps that initialize my convertx and grab the video stream to stdout bfr is my 'livetv' buffer (here 100MB) mplayer - my tv viewer to watch tv and record it I can with this comand(!): ./gorecordmod -input 0 -mode secam-l -bitrate 4000 -stdout /dev/null 2/dev/null | tee -i grabbed.avi | bfr -m 80 -b 1 -p | mplayer -vo gl2 -delay -0.3 -vf pp=mcdeint=3 - /dev/null 2/dev/null to record only: ./gorecordmod -input 0 -mode secam-l -bitrate 4000 -duration x grabbed.avi How can I manage to make freevo call these commands ? Can I define new menu entry? As freevo a a TV menu perhaps I can do something with it no? I know this is not the usual ways to use freevo but the convertx is only supported by mythtv and I WANT FREEVO! :) (some python hacking don't afraid me :) so... ) If it works perhaps we should had support to the convertx for a future release of freevo?

Re: [Freevo-users] freevo 1.6 miss reading DVDs
Duncan-
Personally I think the xine developers are not being logical, I don't
see why they should disable --no-lirc when lirc has not been built-in.
Agreed, but that is what theyhave done.
I really doesn't make much sense to have a xine built without lirc and
then use freevo with lirc enabled. So I would suggest that xine is
rebuilt with lirc support.
This not really needed as Freevo is handling the lirc commands for
xine. Given that Freevo has to send a --no-lirc to xine to disable
built in lirc support adding lirc support to xine just get it disabled
is what seems odd.
From the freevo side: if lirc is not being used then the code in rc.py
checks for config.LIRCRC it the file that this points to doesn't exist
then PYLIRC is FALSE.
In video/plugins/xine the following is defined:
if not rc.PYLIRC and '--no-lirc' in command:
command.remove('--no-lirc')
I which case the --no-lirc option is *not* passed to xine.
This would work in cases where lirc is not used at all, but still
fails in cases like with where lirc is used but xine is not build with
lirc support. Not in front of *nix box at the moment, but maybe
freevo can test the xine binary for lirc support during 'freevo setup'
and have it determine an lirc enabled or disabled build and set it in
freevo.conf.
Becuase this maybe an edge-case, I still think an option like
XINE_LIRC_DISABLED=0 or 1 in local_config.py with the default
setting to be true would be the simplest and fast solution to the
problem. So then you end up with something like this:
if XINE_LIRC_DISABLED = 1
command.remove('--no-lirc')
This leaves the command as is for most installations, which seem to
work, butprovides a fix for edge cases. This also looks simpler to
implement. My python is not very good,but I could try and code this
check in to the plugin.

Re: [Freevo-users] PVR 250 vs. PVR 500
Alberto- No TV-out on the 150. As a capture card though it works great. No more work to set it up than for the 250/350 cards and I am guess a bit less than the 500. For tv-out I am just using an old Nvidia card wtih Tv out. Evan On 11/2/06, Alberto Hernando [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi. Freevo rel-1 in svn has the encoder server, which I'm still working on, which will encode DVDs and MPEGs to divx/avi files. I would prefer it to use mkv and ogg audio as the compression is that mush better. Ah, yes. I think I tried the encoder server with my first contact with freevo (1.5.4), but I didn't manage to make it work. Many formats to choose would be great. The 250 doesn't has a mpeg decoder, it's the 350 that has one, all the ivtv cards have an mpeg encoder. I think the main differences is the chipset that are used between the 150 and the 250. Hmm... I still don't know what do to then. If the driver supports 150 well, I think I'll go for it. But many times you read works well and it does after a lot of pain... It has tv-out, right? Does it work well? I have an asus pundit-r, with a graphical ati igp9100 chipset. The free driver provides 3d, and if the 150 can give me tv-out, I'd have nearly all what I want.
