I think any and all input is great.  If it helps you learn about
things you are interested then do it.  There are a few websites around
already but they are all dev's or end users with no actual tie to
freevo.org.

Maybe talk to Rob he's a dev who is about to launch a website wich
centers around freevo.

[Freevo-users] A new look

2006-12-19 Thread Jordan
I don't know about much of what is going on in the development of  
freevo (as i am new to freevo) yet I have 2 comments:

Firstly, I think that freevo should have a great installer system,  
maybe compiled with autopackage? This way, people could install it  
and all of its dependancies without touching the terminal.
Secondly, i talked to somebody about this already, i think that it  
would be nice to have a user end website for people to go to and get  
freevo.. i am going to investigate autopackage and see what i can  
come up with..

what do you guys think?

Really by design, the reason is that you may like to try different
encoding options from the same source so it good to keep the master
around. When you happy with the encoding delete the master.

The re-encode plug-in is still under development, not yet finished but
works. I decided to leave the original fxd file alone as the media files
have the same name, just a different extension.

There is still quite a lot of work to be done on the re-encode plug-in,
it needs much more flexibility for the different settings, may be ogg or
mp3 audio, mkv or avi containers, different bit rates, different video
codec. mencoder has so many options it really mind blowing what they all
mean or do.

My highest priority is to make sure that there is a minimum of
outstanding bugs and perhaps prepare a release or two :)

Great ! Great ! GREAT !

I installed the svn version (was a little funny :-) ) and now, the 
encoding server is running nicely !
I just try to start two encoding, and the log file is nice, telling that 
the second job is enqued :- )

Did I telll ??  "GREAT !!!"

Just two questions :

1) The original file is not deleted, thus, instead of gaining place,I 
lost a little ;-) It does make sense, as this encoding is 'hand made', 
so we can think that someone could wish to have a look at the output 
before removing the original file. Is it 'by design' or only a 'rc 
feature' ?
2) The avi file was nicely created in the same directory as the original 
file. Unfortunately, the fxd file was not updated, nor was a new fxd 
file created. Again, 'by design' (I hope not) or 'rc feature' ?

Again, many thanks for all this work :-)

If you're working with a home theater setup, definitely get a sound card
that supports digital output.  I personally use the integrated audio in
my motherboard, which uses digital out.

Seriously, for almost all HTPC use, a whiz-bang card is highly overkill.
The best sound card I ever had for HTPC was my old Creative Sound
Blaster Live MP3 Edition.  It used the emu10k1 driver, which supports
hardware mixing (one of the few or only cards with hardware mixing
supported by ALSA), and it had digital out.  Well supported and all the
features you would need.

Cheers,
Jason.

Re: [Freevo-users] Soundcard for Linux

2006-12-19 Thread Michel Hoogervorst

For my Freevo box, I bought a Terratec Aureon 5.1 card, which costs around
25 euro's in the Netherlands.  It has SPDIF in and out, plus the usual
mini-jack connectors and worked out of the box on my Linux box (Mandriva
2006, now 2007).

2006/12/19, Ignacio - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


All depends on your necessities. Actually, all NEW mainboards has a
onboard soundcard, and those are pretty good. It's important to know
which ports you need, stereo jack, SPDIF and some inputs. Aso it is
important to know in what conditions will be it playing because if you
have a slow pc it is better to buy a good soundcard because you will
unload some % of your CPU; but in standard conditions I don't think it
has too much importance. Just a soundcard with needed ports (holes)
will be ok. ah! I think it is better an internal card. (pci)

^^ Too cheap

Something in the middle perhaps

Audigy 4
http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=205&product=14103&nav=1

That looks like a better card, includes SPDIF and an extra audio input.
Also I can personally vouch for the quality of audio in audigy cards but
not the xtrememusic cards, I've never heard one. Audigy is hellish
quality, crystal clear and will probably out perform your CD player in
quality.

+ It has its own remote, which might work with LIRC

Maybe X-Fi is replacing the audigy range, I'm not sure. 

I'm sure that any and all Creative labs cards are better than your on
board so I suppose it comes down to budget.

A long anser for such short question ;)

I also have an onboard soundcard and true, the sound isn't great.
I'm looking for a soundcard that will give me perfect sound, cause the wife
wants it to be as good as the cd-player.

Looking at the different card from creative I see a 'big' one and a cheap
one. Which of the two would you recommend?

experience?

I have an onboard via 82xxx or something to that effect, but you should find
that any cheap £3 sound card will work well in linux. I think the point
about sound cards is get the features you need, and a chip/card that is
supported.

Good manufacturers of sound cards, well there is only one creative labs.
The rest are pretty much all clones or cheap chips. 

Some cards however will only do 48Khz, which I have found causes some
problems with OSS emulation, choppy sound as an example. That issue can
generally be worked around using a module parameter. However cards like this
(mine being one of them, but its onboard) should be avoided if possible.

I would recommend that you get a creative labs card, one which supports
SPDIF optical/coaxial out and has 7.1 channels. This gives you as much range
as you will probably ever need, personally I'd like a usb device with
multiple sound inputs and creative make one of those too which also works in
linux.

I wouldn't pay over the odds for a good sound card though, budget yourself
sensibly on this, as its not really the most important piece of hardware in
your system.

Hope this helps,

can I achieve the same with xine (I know in xine you can switch the
aspect ratio with 'a')? More generally speaking, is there a

# Teclas para cambiar la relación de aspecto
# Original
EVENTS['video']['0'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg='switch_ratio -1')

# 4:3
EVENTS['video']['1'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg='switch_ratio 1.3')

# Cinemascope

Also, I have several keybindings to access the main menu items (i.e.:

m3u file ends, I'm trying again the next step:  I want to be able to
see the information of each track of the playlist while playing ---or
browse through them--- and still play all playlists without
interruption.

I've been looking around src/audio/audioitem.py, but I don't know how
freevo manage all the items in a playlist, neither what freevo does
when you select play items randomly in the audio submenu.

I have an onboard via 82xxx or something to that effect, but you should
find that any cheap £3 sound card will work well in linux. I think the
point about sound cards is get the features you need, and a chip/card
that is supported.

Good manufacturers of sound cards, well there is only one creative labs.
The rest are pretty much all clones or cheap chips. 

Some cards however will only do 48Khz, which I have found causes some
problems with OSS emulation, choppy sound as an example. That issue can
generally be worked around using a module parameter. However cards like
this (mine being one of them, but its onboard) should be avoided if
possible.

I would recommend that you get a creative labs card, one which supports
SPDIF optical/coaxial out and has 7.1 channels. This gives you as much
range as you will probably ever need, personally I'd like a usb device
with multiple sound inputs and creative make one of those too which also
works in linux.

I wouldn't pay over the odds for a good sound card though, budget
yourself sensibly on this, as its not really the most important piece of
hardware in your system.

Hope this helps,

K,

[Freevo-users] Soundcard for Linux

2006-12-19 Thread Antispam
Hello all,

Just a quick question: Can someone tell me what soundcard they are using.
X-mas is coming and I would like to buy (read get) a new sundcard.

Thanks,
Frank

That will be great, you can use this revision or r8743, which includes
two extra key mappings '[' PREV and ']' NEXT for the detached player.
