That was the idea, when there only enough disk space to one film then the colour bar turns red, when the disk space is getting low then it is orange and when there is plenty of disk space then it is green. I think the traffic light metaphor is a good one. What I have now done is to make the levels configurable so that it is possible to set both DISKFREE_LOW and DISKFREE_VERY_LOW to zero, so that there is only a green bar. May be I should add some more alpha channel to the graphics. Do we have a tools in Freevo that allows us to play with graphics without having to run freevo each time, this would speed up development of graphics.

[Freevo-users] freevo & unichrome SOLVED
Ok you have been seeing the problem I (and others had with unichrome and freevo). I seem to have got the solution now. A good compile of mplayer 1.0rc1 (for a certain definition of good) and the attached patch for video/plugins/mplayer.py will do the trick (the patch is against freevo 1.6.1). Note I am using a recent unichrome build. Actually the attached freevo patch works for all kinds of video outputs that require a different vo setting for different classes of movies. So if you have a unichrome system (possibly an EPIA board) put this in your local_conf.py in the mplayer section and apply the patch. It tells freevo to use the vo device "xvmc:deint-bob" with option "-vc ffmpeg12mc" when playing mpeg2 (the bob deinterlace option I found to be necessary, it will play with less CPU usage without it but the image will be flickery sometimes, so you may try simply "xvmc" if you want even less CPU usage). For all other movies it will use "xvidix" using a different kind of hardware acceleration. MPLAYER_VO_DEV_HWACCEL = "xvmc:deint-bob" MPLAYER_HWACCEL_SUFFIX=["mpeg","mpg","vob"] MPLAYER_VO_DEV = "xvidix" MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS_HWACCEL='-vc ffmpeg12mc' of course as well as having "mpeg","mpg","vob" in the VIDEO_MPLAYER_SUFFIX list. and put colorkey=0x00 in your .mplayer/config (it always failed when I tried to put it on the command line but this works too) and put libviaXvMC.so.1 in /etc/X11/XvMCConfig Now coming to the point of a good build of mplayer may be simple or hard for you. In all cases you will need some patches. Some exchanges with Davin Desborough and myself have resulted in the following recipe. The first three lines are relevant if you are on Ubuntu or some other debian derivative, of you are on another linux flavour, you need to resolve it in another way. add deb-src to /etc/apt/sources.list if you don't have it sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get build-dep mplayer #OK so we now have all the dependencies sorted wget ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/unix/X11/multimedia/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0rc1.tar.bz2 wget http://wiki.openchrome.org/pipermail/openchrome-users/attachments/20061023/6cdd63fd/mplayer.tar.obj tar xvf mplayer.tar.obj bunzip2 MPlayer-1.0rc1.tar.bz2 tar xvf MPlayer-1.0rc1.tar cd MPlayer-1.0rc1/ patch -p1 -i ../mplayer/MPlayer-1.0rc1-openchrome_xvmc_vld.patch patch -p1 -i ../mplayer/MPlayer-1.0rc1-remove_bobdeint.patch patch -p1 -i ../mplayer/MPlayer-1.0rc1-openchrome_bob.patch ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-xvmc --with-xvmclib=XvMCW make sudo make install OK, you now may be set, or you may be not. Try to play some audio with mplayer. If it sounds good, you are ready. If it sounds horrible you are likely on a VIA C-2 or AMD CPU. There appears to be a bug in mp3lib that is triggered on CPUs with MMX or some such speedup tech. This is fixed in the svn build of mplayer. so check that out in the way indicated on the mplayer site. I tried applying the unichrome patches manually to the svn tree but that failed, so I ended up configuring that tree too with the same options as I built 1.0rc1. When it is configured copy over the mp3lib directory to the 1.0rc1 tree as well as mpcommon.mak . Now build your 1.0rc1 tree again (a make clean before doing that make might not hurt, I guess). I found that the resulting mplayer works just fine. At this point I am using just some 25% of total CPU power on my 600Mhz EPIA board while playing a recorded TV prog (recorded with ivtv). Using mplayer I can stop the show and can resume playback later. Also I found that mplayer is far more responsive to input from the remote control than xine. So after all the hard work I am a happy camper. So I hope this will give you what you need to! BTW: Davin offered to put all of this in a more verbose version in the Wiki so I'll gladly let him have the honor of doing that :-) BTW2: I suggest this patch to be included in the main freevo tree as many people are running freevo on EPIA and other unichrome setups. -- Paul Sijben mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Amersfoort, NL http://www.sijben.net tel:+31 334557522 fax:+31 33 4557523 --- mplayer.py 2006-11-30 17:45:33.0 +0100 +++ mplayer.py-orig 2006-11-28 12:46:11.0 +0100 @@ -53,8 +53,7 @@ def __init__(self): # create plugin structure plugin.Plugin.__init__(self) - if not hasattr(config,'MPLAYER_HWACCEL_SUFFIX'): -config.MPLAYER_HWACCEL_SUFFIX=[] + # register mplayer as the object to play video plugin.register(MPlayer(), plugin.VIDEO_PLAYER, True) @@ -110,13 +109,6 @@ self.item_length = -1 self.item.elapsed = 0 - #XXX PS - VODEV=config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV - VODEVOPTS=config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS - if item.mimetype in config.MPLAYER_HWACCEL_SUFFIX: - VODEV=config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV_HWACCEL - VODEVOPTS=config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS_HWACCEL - if mode == 'file': url = item.url[

Apologies for the brainfart - I actually knew this, but somehow it didn't come to mind at the moment. fwiw, the biostar board i referenced was used with a digital-out dongle that had both coax and optical in a molded connector. But yes, spdif is 0.5v, and the motherboard is probably transmitting at TTL levels, closer to 5v. You should stick a hex inverter between the motherboard header and the coax port. For best results, you'd also want to isolate the computer's ground rail from the signal ground with a good pulse transformer. This will prevent the s/pdif link from creating a ground loop between the computer's earth-ground and the receiver's signal-ground, if it turns out that the s/pdif input on the receiver is not isolated itself. This is basically the reason why home a/v gear isn't grounded - that's the easiest way to avoid a nasty ground loop that might insert a 120hz overlay into every signal. Hobbyists can pull good pulse transformers off of old ethernet cards. From an audio perspective, the only advantage of the optical connection is that it's really, really easy. Optical heads with integrated-everything are available for a few bucks from mouser, digikey, etc. Anyhow.

It only works with ivtv cards. I think that this is because they have hardware mpeg encoders built in so it's easy to pause and play back the recording. Duncan - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Freevo-users] Question about support for pausing live tv
Is it possible to pause tv with any card? I have a USB DVB-T (Redbell TDT2Go) card that works perfectly (both for watching and recording) but i cannot manage to pause live tv within freevo (it does function in kaffeine, by example). I'm using freevo.1.6.0, though i have downloaded and installed 1.6.1 and 1.7.0rc-1. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

I've applied some changes to freevo svn rel-1 that will allow the levels to be specified in Gigabytes.
