[Freevo-users] Some quesions about multi-tuner configuration
Hi, I'm now the proud owner of two TV cards: one TDT USB stick (Redbell TDT2Go) and one dual card (Kworld DVB-T 220 PCI). Both work perfectly and both have been recognized "automagically" by my 2.6.18 kernel (I'm using Debian Sid). For now , I insert manually the modules ofr the kworld card, and it works perfectly with "mplayer dvb://[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and with tvtime). I've always used the USB stick since I installed freevo, and my local_conf.py is: # == # Freevo TV settings: # == TV_RECORD_DIR = '/datos/video/grabaciones' TV_SETTINGS = 'pal television europe-west /dev/video0' TV_OPTS = '' TV_RECORD_PADDING_PRE = 300 TV_RECORD_PADDING_POST = 1800 #VCR_CMD = 'mencoder' + ' -oac copy -ovc copy -o %(filename)s -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd "dvb://%(channel)s"' VCR_CMD = CONF.mplayer + ' -dumpstream -dumpfile %(filename)s "dvb://%(channel)s"' TV_RECORDFILE_SUFFIX = '.mpg' VIDEO_GROUPS[0].group_type = 'dvb' TV_CHANNELS = [ # DVB-T channels ( '01.elpais.es', 'TVE 1', 'TVE 1' ), ( '02.elpais.es', 'TVE 2', 'TVE 2' ), ( '03.elpais.es', 'Antena 3', 'ANTENA 3' ), ( '22.elpais.es', 'Cuatro', 'CUATRO' ), ( '04.elpais.es', 'Tele 5', 'Telecinco' ), ( '24.elpais.es', 'La Sexta', 'LA SEXTA 1' ), ( '09.elpais.es', 'Canal Sur', 'Canal Sur TV' ), ( '13.elpais.es', 'Canal Sur 2', 'Canal 2 Andalucia' ), ...and many more... ] I would like to use one DVB adapter for watching and the other for recording, and be able to watch and record the analog channels as well. But, I'm a bit offuscated with video_group settings. My questions are: 1.- How can I distingiuish one DVB adpater from the other? Wich is the "group_type" of the analog part of the Kworld card? Will this setting work? VIDEO_GROUPS[0].group_type = 'dvb' # First DVB adaptor VIDEO_GROUPS[0]record_group = 1 VIDEO_GROUPS[1].group_type = 'dvb' # Second DVB adaptor VIDEO_GROUPS[1]record_group = None VIDEO_GROUPS[2].group_type = '?' # Analog adaptor VIDEO_GROUPS[2].vdev = '/dev/video0' VIDEO_GROUPS[2].record_group = None 2.- Can I watch analog TV with tvtime and use at the xine plugin for watching DVB? 3.- How should I put the different record commands (one for the analog TV and the one for DVB)? Is there a VIDEO_GROUPS[0].VCR_CMD or something similar? Thanks BTW: This is what dmesg says about the cards: dvb-usb: found a 'WideView WT-220U PenType Receiver (Typhoon/Freecom)' in warm state. dvb-usb: will use the device's hardware PID filter (table count: 15).

Unfortunately no, this won't be possible. Well, it will be possible technically, but not practical. It would be quite computationally expensive (for various reasons). So background animations will have to be handled a different way, by fading in/out or moving certain elements on the canvas, such as in the kaa-menu-demo.avi example (the moving titles at the top).

What about the existing command main menu item? Shouldn't the hack go in there so it can be used in the future for other hacks like this?

AFAIK this does not exist. You should be able to make it work by modifying menu.py and adding a event to it.

[Freevo-users] How can I use Freevo events to run scripts?
Hi, Flush from my success of controlling my surround sound amp using irsend, I would like to control my TV too. Currently the media box is input via SVideo, on AV4 (the only input I have cables for atm). However on power on my TV starts up in channel mode tuned to the last "real" TV channel is was on. What I would like to do is trap the POWER event, that seems to be propogated everywhere - as I get this output to console from freevo: send button event BUTTON arg=POWER no event mapping for key POWER in context tvmenu send button event BUTTON arg=POWER no event mapping for key POWER in context menu I would like to pick up that event, then run a simple script that uses irsend to turn the TV on - wait 5 seconds (warm up time required), then change the input to the correct AV source. I am quite happy to modify code to get this to work, or if there is a mechanism to deal with this already that would be ace. Thank you. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Freevo-users] Using IRSend in freevo
Hi all, Just a note to say a big thanks for the VIDEO_PRE / POST commands. I've knocked up some little shell scripts that I now use to control my surround sound amp using the IRSend capabilities of the microsoft usb remote control box :) The scripts I use are below. These are launched as background jobs from the pre and post commands to turn the amp on, change to DVD input, and ensure that the amp is in digital / DTS mode. I have also modified xine.py to pass the volume events through to the amp, so that I can control the amp volume with the media centre remote. to do that I added the following to the bottom of xine.py: if event == MIXER_VOLUP: if config.VIDEO_VOL_UP_CMD != '': os.system( config.VIDEO_VOL_UP_CMD ) return True if event == MIXER_VOLDOWN: if config.VIDEO_VOL_DOWN_CMD != '': os.system( config.VIDEO_VOL_DOWN_CMD ) return True and I define the commands in the freevo config file. It was all very easy, the hardest part was mapping in the remote file using irrecord :) Just to let people know what I had done, so that people searching know this sort of thing is possible. Thats now one less remote I need to use too :D My irsend scripts: cat dvd_amp_on.sh #!/bin/sh sleep 1 irsend SEND_ONCE amp Power sleep 1 irsend SEND_ONCE amp DVD sleep 1 irsend SEND_ONCE amp Stereo sleep 1 irsend SEND_ONCE amp Dobly/DTS AND cat dvd_amp_off.sh #!/bin/sh irsend SEND_ONCE amp Power - Take Surveys.
