 Hi all,

 Is any body here good at graphics?

 I thought I would update Tanja's great plug-in diskfree so that it would
 show a bar, similar to volume plug-in, of the amount of disk space that
 is free, instead of the pie chart.

 Attached is the updated plug-in and the original photoshop graphic.

 At one stage I copied the volume plugins graphic and tried to do the
 same.  But, I couddn't work out how to get rid of the speaker behind
 the bar..

There are two graphics, one for the background and one for the bar. The
bar is blitted onto the background. Only part of the bar is blitted into
the background, in fact a ratio of the percentage used (0.0-1.0). In the
case of the free disk space there are three colour bars, green, orange
and red.

 However, it's not so self explanatory when you have both plugins
 activated. Having two bars that look the same but one with a speaker
 behind it.  What does the other bar mean??  This needs to be thought
 about.  Also, NO RED PLEASE.  Sorry for the shouting.

The bar only goes red when you really need to do something about your
disk space, red when there are only 8GB left and orange when there are
20GB left. What I should do is make this configurable.

 But that one little red icon really distracts the user.  It would be
 better to have the icon flash or go organge or a combination of both.
 Red is a horible contrast to the blue background on most plugins.
 
 Which raises the iea of skins..  Maybe skins shold have the ability to
 change this graphic also?  Not sure how of it possible but food for
 though.

I must be possible and a good idea.

 Mick
 It's a bit hard-coded, but this can be changed, when the free space is
 less than 8GB then it displays a red bar, when it is less than 20GB it
 displays a orange bar otherwise it displays a green bar on top of a grey
 bar. I thought of using percentages but recordings tend to use disk
 space so I thought that gigabytes are better.

 If someone would like to do so graphics, I would be absolutely delighted.

 that could be the difference?

The TV is connected to the second head and a PC monitor to the first

In fact the TV isn't really a TV but a acer AL1931 monitor with

Re: [Freevo-users] update on parallel recording

2006-11-29 Thread Paul Sijben
Duncan,

I have changed my recordingserver so it now also creates lockfiles with
the video dev appended.

I have looked at upsoon and that needs some work to make it work with
parallel recording, it does not need to kill the TV viewing if there is
another card available for recording (the policy I put into my patched
recording server is that it will take the last item in VIDEO_GROUPS
first and then work to the start to give TV viewing the best chance of
working).

So the test should be something like is there a recording coming up? If
so, check if there is an equivalent video device available from
record_groups, assume the recordserver will use that one and do nothing.

That is more work than I can put into it right now. I'll look at that later.

 conflict resolution is now as follows:

Re: [Freevo-users] update on parallel recording

2006-11-29 Thread Paul Sijben
Euhm, thinking a bit more

Wouldn't it be simpler to let the TV viewing app write a lockfile of the
device it is using (so in practice something like viewing.video0).
Then let ivtv_record test for that file when it wants to use that video
device.  If the device is needed for recording, send a STOP to the TV
viewing thread and use the device.

BTW: I can not find any checks for recording lockfiles in ivtv_xine_tv
where is checked if you are not ruining a recording in progress by
starting to watch TV?

 Ideally, you *have* to have spidf or optical out for sound as well.
 All decent amp's have spidf or optical sound inputs.  This also

 The Asus board bellow is the only one of the two have that..

Well going forward what you'd really want is hdmi output. Most decent 
new amps and tvs have this and it'll carry your digital video and audio 
signal for you in one cable. So the PS3 might be a good candidate for a 
next gen platform for freevo v2. It's got hdmi and apparently you'll be 
able to install linux on it. At €640 this doesn't look like a bad option 
given you're getting at gaming console too but it remains to be seen how 
well it works in real life.
 Asus and MSI have some good candidates - boards with onboard Geforce
 6150 w/ tv and hdtv-out.

 http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2model=1138l1=3l2=101l3=0

 http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K9NGM2-FIDclass=mb

 The asus comes with the tv-out bracket, the msi site says theirs is
 'optional'.

 the geforce6150 has enough xvmc oomph for mpeg2 ad HD resolutions. no
 mpeg4 support in hardware, but that probably shouldn't be an issue. On
 the other hand, I have no idea what it takes to decode h.264 at HD
 resolutions - but at SD resolutions, my athlon-xp 1600 does just fine.

 both support spdif out at 44.1 and 48khz, the msi board also does 96 and
 192khz and at 20 and 24 bits.

 Asus warns that their DVI connector does not support the common dongles
 that convert DVI to RGB for analog monitors, and that you cannot use the
 VGA port and TV-Out ports simultaneously. This is odd, but probably not
 an issue for htpc use. The MSI board probably has the same restrictions
 - I'm guessing it's a chipset thing.

 athlon64 processors are as quiet as you make 'em. My 2-year-old 3500+
 runs quite cool, so it should be possible to make a very quiet,
 feature-rich system with either of these boards.

 They both retail for about $90. The cheapest AM2 sempron is about $40
 and may or may not be enough for HDTV. the cheapest full athlon64 is
 about $85, and is certainly enough for HDTV. The cheapest dual-core
 athlon64 is about $150 and probably massive overkill.

 Other motherboard makers may have similar boards. Looks like good
 hardware to me.

 Then let ivtv_record test for that file when it wants to use that video
 device.  If the device is needed for recording, send a STOP to the TV
 viewing thread and use the device.

upsoon was written for when there is only one TV card in a machine.

IIRC what it does is to open the device and then try to read from it, if
it can't read from it then something is using the device so it sends a
stop event. While you won't be watching two things at the same time then
it sends a stop event which causes the player to stop and allow
recording to work and at the same time writes a lock file to show that
something is recording and prevents the player from playing again.

This means that there may be nothing to do.

In VideoGroup it has a index pointing to the recording device, if not
already this should be the preferred device and switching to the playing
device when there is a conflict. For simplicity, it may not be worth
while trying to allow playing on the other device.

I don't think that you can remove the input from VideoGroups because
this can be used to set a different input device, such as the S-Video.

Also you should be aware that it may not be a desirable feature if two
cards come from two different sources, such as Analogue and DVB-S, so
there needs to be a way to turn it off. I think using the record_group
is the best way.

Here's an example:
  VideoGroup(vdev = '/dev/video0',
vvbi = '/dev/vbi0',
adev = '/dev/adsp',
input_type = 'tuner',
input_num = 0,
tuner_norm = CONF.tv,
tuner_chanlist = CONF.chanlist,
desc = 'PVR-500 Play Group',
group_type = 'ivtv',
record_group = 1),
  VideoGroup(vdev = '/dev/video1',
vvbi = '/dev/vbi1',
adev = '/dev/adsp',
input_type = 'tuner',
input_num = 0,
tuner_norm = CONF.tv,
tuner_chanlist = CONF.chanlist,
desc = 'PVR-500 Record Group',
group_type = 'ivtv',
record_group = None),

In the second entry the record_group is None, it this was 0 then
multiple recording will be activated.

You may have noticed the vvbi which is the video vbi device, I use this
in vbi2srt_record.py for the teletext data to grab the subtitles and to
use it's VPS signal to start and stop recording.

 BTW: I can not find any checks for recording lockfiles in ivtv_xine_tv
 where is checked if you are not ruining a recording in progress by
 starting to watch TV?

ivtv_xine_tv is new on 1.6 and may never have been implemented.

Hope this helps,
Duncan

that was not what I meant. I meant I can not pick it from videogroups

You may be right but at this point I am confused. Could you explain to
me the current definition of record_group (and the context of
video_groups) and in the in the case of a setup where one may have a
PVR-500, used for parallel recording on analogue and a DVB card.

An example of video_groups in that setting would also help me a lot I think

 able to install linux on it. At €640 this doesn't look like a bad option
 given you're getting at gaming console too but it remains to be seen how
 well it works in real life.
  Asus and MSI have some good candidates - boards with onboard Geforce
  6150 w/ tv and hdtv-out.
 
  http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2model=1138l1=3l2=101l3=0
 
  http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K9NGM2-FIDclass=mb
 
  The asus comes with the tv-out bracket, the msi site says theirs is
  'optional'.
 
  the geforce6150 has enough xvmc oomph for mpeg2 ad HD resolutions. no
  mpeg4 support in hardware, but that probably shouldn't be an issue. On
  the other hand, I have no idea what it takes to decode h.264 at HD
  resolutions - but at SD resolutions, my athlon-xp 1600 does just fine.
 
  both support spdif out at 44.1 and 48khz, the msi board also does 96 and
  192khz and at 20 and 24 bits.
 
  Asus warns that their DVI connector does not support the common dongles
  that convert DVI to RGB for analog monitors, and that you cannot use the
  VGA port and TV-Out ports simultaneously. This is odd, but probably not
  an issue for htpc use. The MSI board probably has the same restrictions
  - I'm guessing it's a chipset thing.
 
  athlon64 processors are as quiet as you make 'em. My 2-year-old 3500+
  runs quite cool, so it should be possible to make a very quiet,
  feature-rich system with either of these boards.
 
  They both retail for about $90. The cheapest AM2 sempron is about $40
  and may or may not be enough for HDTV. the cheapest full athlon64 is
  about $85, and is certainly enough for HDTV. The cheapest dual-core
  athlon64 is about $150 and probably massive overkill.
 
  Other motherboard makers may have similar boards. Looks like good
  hardware to me.

[Freevo-users] xine speed patch

2006-11-29 Thread Paul Sijben
attached is a quick patch I did for xine. It allows the playback speed
to be changed with the skip and prev keys on your remote.

this may be useful to others too ;-)

BTW: I have got a similar patch for mplayer (1.0rc1) but I am only be
able to speed up the sound with that, not the video. Is that supposed to
happen???

 Ideally, you *have* to have spidf or optical out for sound as well.
 All decent amp's have spidf or optical sound inputs.  This also

 The Asus board bellow is the only one of the two have that..


   For whatever reason it's not mentioned on the msicomputer.com site,
but on the msi.com.tw site, the specs say it has an spdif header on the
board. 

   Usually an spdif-out header is 3 pins - one signal, one ground, one
+5v. You can hook up an RCA connector directly to the signal and ground.
If you want optical, the +5v is to power the optical head.

   Might be good to contact MSI and ask them whether or not it's really
there on the current version of the board before jumping, in any case. 

   fwiw, I used to have a biostar board that had a completely
undocumented spdif header, which worked just fine.

Do you really need a patch for mplayer?

Adding this to local_conf.py does fast play back.

EVENTS['video']['PLAY'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, \
arg='speed_set 1.0')
EVENTS['video']['FFWD'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, \

You can't have reverse playback, shame, but it is possible to slow it down.

Re: [Freevo-users] update on parallel recording

2006-11-29 Thread Paul Sijben

 Do you keep track of the VideoGroup index? IFAICS this is all you need,
 with this you have the video device and hence the lockfile name.

   

actually I keep track of the device too. So returning the vdev chosen
back to the record server was no problem
 Also you should be aware that it may not be a desirable feature if two
 cards come from two different sources, such as Analogue and DVB-S, so
 there needs to be a way to turn it off. I think using the record_group
 is the best way.

   
   
 You may be right but at this point I am confused. Could you explain to
 me the current definition of record_group (and the context of
 video_groups) and in the in the case of a setup where one may have a
 PVR-500, used for parallel recording on analogue and a DVB card.
 

 The record_group is an index into the VideoGroup list, starting at 0. If
 the record_group is not None then it uses this VideoGroup to record. The
 first group, by default, is the play-back group but this can be
 overridden in the TV_CHANNELS list.

   
 An example of video_groups in that setting would also help me a lot I think
 

 I gave you one, but here is again, this time adjusted.
   

the reason I asked was because I got really confused when you threw in
the DVB card too. I agree it is a reasonable scenario, I was just
wondering how you propose to describe that.

   VideoGroup(vdev = '/dev/video0',
 vvbi = '/dev/vbi0',
 adev = '/dev/adsp',
 input_type = 'tuner',
 input_num = 0,
 tuner_norm = CONF.tv,
 tuner_chanlist = CONF.chanlist,
 desc = 'PVR-500 Play (2nd Record) Group',
 group_type = 'ivtv',
 record_group = 1),
   VideoGroup(vdev = '/dev/video1',
 vvbi = '/dev/vbi1',
 adev = '/dev/adsp',
 input_type = 'tuner',
 input_num = 0,
 tuner_norm = CONF.tv,
 tuner_chanlist = CONF.chanlist,
 desc = 'PVR-500 Record Group',
 group_type = 'ivtv',
 record_group = 0),

 VideoGroup[0] is the play-back group, the record_group points to
 VideoGroup[1] and in this example it points back to the first group (At
 the moment it would be None)

 Clearer?

You only need the index, vg[index].vdev gives you the video device.

Almost the same, just that group_type changes to dvb (I think) and
record_group are both set to none. I don't know anything about DVB as I
don't have or use them but I know it's possible as dischi uses dvb.

 
   VideoGroup(vdev = '/dev/video0',
 vvbi = '/dev/vbi0',
 adev = '/dev/adsp',
 input_type = 'tuner',
 input_num = 0,
 tuner_norm = CONF.tv,

 video will speed up, so what I saw earlier was a unichrome issue.

 able to speed up the sound with that, not the video. Is that supposed to
 happen???
 
 
 Do you really need a patch for mplayer?

 Adding this to local_conf.py does fast play back.

 EVENTS['video']['PLAY'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, \
 arg='speed_set 1.0')
 EVENTS['video']['FFWD'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, \

 You can't have reverse playback, shame, but it is possible to slow it down.

It is now part of cvs.  You can manually install it by downloading it

The python version you have may not be 2.4 so double check when you

  Hi all,
 
  Is any body here good at graphics?
 
  I thought I would update Tanja's great plug-in diskfree so that it would
  show a bar, similar to volume plug-in, of the amount of disk space that
  is free, instead of the pie chart.
 
  Attached is the updated plug-in and the original photoshop graphic.
 
  At one stage I copied the volume plugins graphic and tried to do the
  same.  But, I couddn't work out how to get rid of the speaker behind
  the bar..

 There are two graphics, one for the background and one for the bar. The
 bar is blitted onto the background. Only part of the bar is blitted into
 the background, in fact a ratio of the percentage used (0.0-1.0). In the
 case of the free disk space there are three colour bars, green, orange
 and red.

  However, it's not so self explanatory when you have both plugins
  activated. Having two bars that look the same but one with a speaker
  behind it.  What does the other bar mean??  This needs to be thought
  about.  Also, NO RED PLEASE.  Sorry for the shouting.

 The bar only goes red when you really need to do something about your
 disk space, red when there are only 8GB left and orange when there are
 20GB left. What I should do is make this configurable.

Commision a commitee to design a solution ;-).  Just kidding.  My
opinion is drop red altogether for anything on a TV.  TV's just don't
do bright red well.  At least the ones in my price range.

Also, i'm currently using vdr for my recordserver.  vdr keeps the disc
full, and only deletes old stuff when space is required (like I notice
freevo can now do).  Which means many users will keep the disc full
and just let freevo take care of making new space for itself.

Which means constant red for my usage patterns.  I *really* like the
idea of a percentage bar..  But I still can't see how to differenciate
well from the volume bar.  Even if you make them look different it's
still hard to infer the function of the HD space.  I still really also
like the idea of when its full, it flashes instead of going red...

Having a disc full isn't something to alarm on..  Having a disc fail..
no thats a different story.

But your doing the work so i'm happy with anythin that looks nicer
than what we have now.

Mick
  But that one little red icon really distracts the user.  It would be
  better to have the icon flash or go organge or a combination of both.
  Red is a horible contrast to the blue background on most plugins.
 
  Which raises the iea of skins..  Maybe skins shold have the ability to
  change this graphic also?  Not sure how of it possible but food for
  though.

 I must be possible and a good idea.

 Duncan

  Mick
  It's a bit hard-coded, but this can be changed, when the free space is
  less than 8GB then it displays a red bar, when it is less than 20GB it
  displays a orange bar otherwise it displays a green bar on top of a grey
  bar. I thought of using percentages but recordings tend to use disk
  space so I thought that gigabytes are better.
 
  If someone would like to do so graphics, I would be absolutely delighted.

 +5v. You can hook up an RCA connector directly to the signal and ground.
 If you want optical, the +5v is to power the optical head.

Might be good to contact MSI and ask them whether or not it's really
 there on the current version of the board before jumping, in any case.

fwiw, I used to have a biostar board that had a completely
 undocumented spdif header, which worked just fine.

Apparantly there are two types of spidf.  One inside the PC runs on 5v
whereas the one outside the PC aka between amps etc runs at much lower
voltage.  You should use converters when plugging between that
inside spidf and like a coaxial digital input on a amp.

But I agree with the comments about the ps3.  I pre-ordered mine in
australie before they pushed the date back.. Hopefully I will  be one
the first people in perth to try the ps3 as a freevo box yay!!

Re: [Freevo-users] freevo does not kill X in 1.6.x, bug or feature

2006-11-29 Thread Evan Hisey
Davin-
  I would start with openchrome and xvmc then. I run a bare bones
setup with just enough to get X and network support on a slackware
box.

 I too have seen this. I start freevo with the -fs option. If I select
 Shutdown from the main menu, Freevo closes, but the blank X server is
 left running and I do not get back to a prompt.

 I know Paul and I are both using ubuntu, openchrome, and xvmc, so
 perhaps one of those items has something to do with it.

 Thanks,

  Is this a bug or a feature?

Re: [Freevo-users] Mmpython lsdvd problem

Yes,
I use gentoo. I currently use mmpython version 0.4.10 and lsdvd 0.16 - latest 
available.

Are you using Gentoo? There is a small issue with having to unmask
things to get the right lsdvd and mmpython versions

From the stack trace I don't think your using mmpython-0.4.10.

if len(data)  2:
File /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mmpython/disc/lsdvd.py, line
148, in lsdvd

Should be line 202.

What is the $Id: at line 4 say? It should say:
