Re: [Freevo-users] 15.4-1.6.1:some problems

2006-12-18 Thread Francisco Eduardo Álvarez Solano

I messed things... But, seeing that 1.6.1 has some bugs too, would you
suggest
me using 1.7.0rc1? It has some interesting features.



Freevo 1.7.0-rc1 works quite well (at least for me), though it has several
bugs: I cannot manage to use imdb plugin, nor the webserver, and I have some
issues with encodings. On the other hand, the encoding server is a very
helpful tool (I have a DVB-T USB card and the recordings are about 1,7GB per
hour), and it works without problem for me (though I haven't tested it yet
with a DVD).

I think in SVN several bugs have been corrected.


Does it work with python

2.4?



As stated in the release post, Freevo-1.7.0-rc1 does require Python-2.4.x.

Works quite well for me too. :)

 though it has
 several bugs: I cannot manage to use imdb plugin

I have noticed this, when it doesn't work:
[('0073486', uOne Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, u'1975', ''),
('0121735', u'Sha da jie fan zhuan feng ren yuan', u'1993', ''),
('0109422', u'Ranma #189;: Ch#244;-musabetsu kessen! Ranma team VS
densetsu no h#244;#244;', u'1994', ''), ('0030223', u'Healthy, Wealthy
and Dumb', u'1938', '')]

It may be because of the #244; like codes, which need converting to
utf-8. Needs to be looked into.

 , nor the webserver, and

I know this is a pain, I plan to reverse the webserver changes until it
works for non-ascii file names and put the new modules as a patch into
the contrib/patches directory.

 I have some issues with encodings. On the other hand, the encoding
 server is a very helpful tool (I have a DVB-T USB card and the
 recordings are about 1,7GB per hour), and it works without problem for
 me (though I haven't tested it yet with a DVD).

DVD's don't work in 1.7.0rc1, but has been fixed in svn.

 I think in SVN several bugs have been corrected.

There may still be some problems with images, as the Python Imaging
Library (PIL) has been replaced by kaa.imlib2. ATM Haven't found any.

 Does it work with python
 2.4?

Yes, The svn version works with python 2.3 and higher, 1.7.0-rc1
requires python 2.4 but the change that caused this has been now removed.

 As stated in the release post, Freevo-1.7.0-rc1 does require Python-2.4.x.
  

The rel-1 svn version should be better than 1.7.0rc1. But I do need
feedback about what is not working.

[Freevo-users] About m3u playlists and mplayer

2006-12-18 Thread Francisco Eduardo Álvarez Solano
I'm trying to play m3u playlists directly with mplayer, as if they
were an audio file like a mp3 or ogg file (I mean without browsing
them).

To achieve this I have in local_conf.py:

PLAYLIST_SUFFIX = [ ]
AUDIO_SUFFIX = [ 'm3u', 'mp3', 'ogg', 'wav', 'm4a', 'wma', 'aac',
'flac', 'mka' ]

But I've found that there is a line in src/audio/plugins/mplayer.py
that prevents mplayer from playing m3u playlist if they are a local
file:

L.128:
 if item.network_play and ( str(filename).endswith(m3u') or
str(filename).endswith('pls')):


I've changed it to
if ( str(filename).endswith(m3u') or str(filename).endswith('pls')):


And now I can play m3u files without problems (freevo appends
'-playlist' to mplayer command line when it detects a m3u file).

I've been using this setting for several days now, and apparently
there are no collateral effects. In fact, if you leave PLAYLIST-SUFFIX
= [ 'm3u' ], freevo goes on with the standard behaviour and again you
can browse m3u playlists.

So my question is, why does this line filter only net playlists? Am I
breaking something changing the code?

I was wondering the same thing too, when I was seeing if is possible to
have a video play list, this allows a series of videos to be played with
out loading mplayer each time.

video
  file id=f1 mplayer-options=-vf crop=704:480:8:40today.pls
playlist/
  /file
/video

The answer is I don't know, but there must have been a reason. :)

[Freevo-users] audio behind on tv recordings

2006-12-18 Thread Elizabeth Dodd

Using mencoder to record my tv i have a variable lag for the audio. At the 
beginning it may be a few seconds behind and then appear to catch up later.

I thought that the cpu load was to blame and reduced the recording video size 
but it doesn't seem to be any better.

What else do i need to check?

It does look like a bug in BeautifulSoup. :(

Having grabbed the page with wget, edited it with vim, it does have 92
bytes in there.

The real problem is Python and it's unicode handling, it's not very good
but the fix is simple. :)

Change line 352 in /usr/lib/python2.4/site.py from:
encoding = ascii # Default value set by _PyUnicode_Init()
to:
encoding = iso-8859-1 # Default value set by _PyUnicode_Init()

 UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position

 Currently I have to use my old box to lookup IMDB info.  Thanks.
 

 It does look like a bug in BeautifulSoup. :(

 Having grabbed the page with wget, edited it with vim, it does have 92
 bytes in there.

 The real problem is Python and it's unicode handling, it's not very good
 but the fix is simple. :)

 Change line 352 in /usr/lib/python2.4/site.py from:
 encoding = ascii # Default value set by _PyUnicode_Init()
 to:
 encoding = iso-8859-1 # Default value set by _PyUnicode_Init()

 it so unreliable?  I am running version 3.0.3 of BeautifulSoap, should I 
 be using a different version?
 
 
 Will you post the error trace?

 I've tried it one a few movies, and no crash so far.

Also I am still getting 'unknown error while connecting to IMDB' on a 
bunch of other movies.  Al that gets logged for them is:

I just noticed that the files that return that error or files that do 
not return multiple pages from IMDB, but instead go directly to an exact 
match.

Also sorry for 'spamming' with so many separate messages.

Freevo 1.x SVN?  Because that is what I am running.

 That's an error in BeautifulSoup that I have worked around in svn, AFAIK
 BeautifulSoup should process the entities eg. #244; as it returns a
 unicode string and says that the encoding is utf-8. The entities are
 latin-1 encoded.

 Anyway the workaround is in svn.

Actually I think Python's unicode handling is fairly good, but it is not

freevo might make it difficult.

I suggest that site.py be bypassed all-together.  This could be done by 
changing freevo startup line from

  #!/usr/bin/python -S

And changing the default encoding by adding 
  import sys
  sys.setdefaultencoding(iso-8859-15)
or perhaps
  sys.setdefaultencoding(utf-8)
because as soon as freevo starts getting Asian users the latin-1 type 
encodings don't cut it any more.

This way it will be specific to Freevo, and not system wide.

Btw. difference between iso-8859-1 and iso-8859-15 is that the latter does 
support the new Euro character: €.

For filenames, perhaps os.path.supports_unicode_filenames should be examined.
From the doc: True if arbitrary Unicode strings can be used as file names

The current SVN version solved the issue.  While we're on the subject of 
IMDB lookups, after completing and update the listing does not auto 
update to show the changes like it use to.  Instead you have to back one 
menu and then re-enter to see the results of the IMDB lookup.  I am 
assuming this is just a matter of calling a menuw refresh.

I just don't know enough about HTTP and how to encode file names so that
they don't get converted.

What I find a problem with python's unicode handling is when a decode
fails it reports an UnicodeEncodingError and visa versa.

decode/encode are not really intuitive as you have to know from which
perspective the decode/encode works. What I mean is string.decode()
returns a unicodestr and unicodestr.encode() return a string, you have
to know that it is from the string.

unicode('ü') crashes with the default ascii encoding.

 What else do i need to check?

Well.. I gave up and bought a DVB-T card.  THis way teh stream comes
interleaved.  I think there are some syncing problems which come from
some clocks on some sound cards.  I think CPU is a synching problem

So, what is your mencoder command?

Have you tried dumping the stream to HD and encoding offline?  (this
takes big HD).

Are you recoding sound off the card directly or sound input through
