Re: [Freevo-users] freevo crash on audio cd
I tryed to debug any further: (Pdb) n /usr/bin/mminfo(89)?() - medium = kaa.metadata.parse(file) (Pdb) n python: stack smashing attack in function PyEval_EvalFrame() Aborted So that didn't help, back to adding print statements to audioinfo.py At the bottom I added: mediainfo.EXTENSION_DEVICE gives: device mediainfo.TYPE_AUDIOgives: 1 AudioDiscInfo gives: kaa.metadata.disc.audioinfo.AudioDiscInfo I have no idea or this is good or not but mminfo didn't crash, so it has to be somewhere in processing/formatting the returned info.

[Freevo-users] Picture quality with xine and DVB-T broadcasts
Hi all, sorry I seem to be asking a lot of questions recently. Picture quality on my xine playback of digital TV broadcasts has always been a bit rubbish. Lots of motion blur etc. Now until I get my DVB card actually working, I cannot record TV, and pause in xine doesn't seem to work. I was looking at the xine command and discovered that it is using post processing with --post=pp:quality=10. Increasing the number seems to improve the quality, but takes more CPU time up. However I am already streaming a reasonable MPEG2 stream out of the DVB usb tuner, which is designed to be watched on my standard TV (which my media centre plugs into). so I wondered what would happen if I just removed the pp post module altogether. Early tests seem to show less CPU, and much better picture quality, and much smoother playback. Can anyone confirm that I am correct / wrong in my assumption, and if these is really a sensible thing to do? cheers :) - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Freevo-users] Direct record
Pascal- I do not believe VCR like recording is supported at the moment. I am adding a feature request for this myself.

Really nice, thanks ! But a dumb question ? I would have a way to do a 'direct record', that is, I'm showing a very good show, and want to record it on the fly. On a 'legacy scope' I just would press the record button. And now, freevo is recording everything I watch on my screen (funny to do a run in a zapping sequence - I think 'zapping' is a french word, that is ' a heavy use of the remote between every channel' :-) ), but I'm unable to store this record ? To be complete, it would be great to have the ability to set a stop timer (that is : record for 1 hour and stop) This is maybe only a bad configuration (I hope so !)

Re: [Freevo-users] Thoughts on recording / viewing multiple channels at once. (DVB)
El Miércoles, 27 de Diciembre de 2006 23:24, Stephen Rowles escribió: dvbstream can be used to multicast out the all the pids on given frequency. Could the record sub-system be changed instead of recording using mplayer to dump one channel, dvbstream could be used to tune to the requested frequency (look this up in the channels.conf file). And then use dumprtp | ts2ps vpid apid record.ts to record the channel in question. Once this is running, the other channels on the frequency could also be dumped to disk at the same time, provided your CPU can handle it. They could also be watched by using a similar command and piping the result into mplayer. These channels could be highlighted in a 2nd colour to indicate that you could record them too, or watch them.With a good network connection these channels could also be watched elsewhere in the house.
