So yes, you would get a violation for writing to /tmp OK, I see that there is an env variable TMPDIR I could use. Fixed that. I wonder why you did not get on error when installing everything else except kaa.base. It should work now as expected, I will prepare new ebuilds today.

Re: [Freevo-users] Testers required for DVB Live Pause Plugin

I am rebuilding my old VDR box and I'd love to use freevo and not VDR anymore as my front-end. I'm really new to freevo and got music, movies and games working just recently. I was looking at the freevo/VDR integration with the recent discussions that took place lately (freevo plugin for VDR).It looks like what you are suggesting might work for me, and add the pause support which I love.

[Freevo-users] Freevo 2.0 API Stable
Hi, Soenke told me not to promisse anything I can't keep, but I'm sure I can. Yesterday the switch to the new config style was finished and this was the last step for a stable 2.0 API. If you want to help development, you could start writing plugins for 2.0 and send them to the list. As a start, there are some plugins I broke the last weeks, the are in the WIP/broken_plugins directory and will not be installed. It would be nice if some people will start developing for 2.0 now. Did I wrote the API is stable. Well, that is not 100% true. The gui subsystem will need an update once kaa.cnady is done. Tack: can you give me a timeline when we can expect it or how I can help? But if your plugin does not need any special gui code, it will survive that change. If not, I promise not to move plugins to the broken_plugins dir anymore and will update any plugins in case it will be needed. As for using 2.0, most of the code is stable. The tv part is missing a lot of features, the games system is in broken plugins but the rest should work. List of missing features: o Freevo only works on X11 right now. The problem is not Freevo itself, it is kaa.popcorn our video player. Patches welcome. o Watch TV does not work, but you can schedule recordings and watch later. The tvserver is finished, the tv device module will get an update soon based on gstreamer. Soenke and I are working on it. o DVD support is broken sometimes. This will be the next on my todo list. o The following plugins are in broken_plugins and need some care. Some more than others: - audio.cdbackup.py: port the encoding server to 2.0? - video.imdb.py, audio.coversearch.py: the logic behind this should go into an extra kaa module. - audio.playlist.py - audio.radioplayer.py - audio.radio.py - command.py - df.py: make it an idlebar plugin? - freevo-rendezvous.py - freevoscreensaver.py - games - gphoto.py - headlines.py - icecast.py - input.bluetooth.py - input.dfbevents.py: assigned to Rob - input.event_device.py: assigned to Rob - mixer.py, ossmixer.py: should be one volctl plugin. - tv.irsend_echostar.py - tv.irsend_generic.py - tv.manual_record.py - tv.scheduled_recordings.py - tv.view_favorites.py - tv.view_line_in.py (should move to kaa.popcorn) - video.bookmarker.py (kaa.popcorn needs to support for seek before play) - Idlebar plugins. They need gui code, so updaing it has not much sense: idlebar.cdstatus.py, idlebar.holidays.py, idlebar.mail.py, idlebar.MultiMail.py, idlebar.system.py, idlebar.tvstatus.py, idlebar.volume.py, idlebar.weather.py - The following plugins will be deleted if nobody has a need for them (please write a mail why you need the plugin even if you don't want to help developing: audio.fxmms.py (xmms is dead), audio.logger.py (rating should be part of Freevo itself), audio.mplayervbr.py (what does it do?) audio.mplayervis.py (kaa.popcorn can do this once we have kaa.candy), audio.vux.py, autocolor.py, configuration.py, yac.py, tv.xawtv.py (playing will be done by kaa.popcorn), tv.tvtime.py (playing will be done by kaa.popcorn) Dischi -- This is the Time Travelling Agency's answering machine.

[Freevo-users] Playing HDTV Recordings
I'm soon making the jump to high definition TV. I'm getting a 42 flat panel LCD soon; 1920x1080 resolution. I run freevo with a 2.4GHZ P4 in a shuttle PC form factor, diskless, feeding files from another linux NFS server. I recently upgraded the video card to a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 which supports DVI and xvmc. I now run mplayer with -vo xvmc -vc ffmpeg12mc I also upgraded my recording server to a pchdtv 5500 card. I'm recording HDTV off the air into mpeg ts files. The mpeg TS files are huge, 2X+ the size of NTSC files recorded on a PVR3500 card. This is not surprising, to be expected. The mpeg ts files have a 1280x720 resolution, which I want to play on my 1920x1080 display. I'm stuggling to get these large HDTV mpeg ts streams to play smoothly on the 2.4GHZ P4 with NVIDIA FX 5200 using xvmc and ffpmeg12mc. Is this surprising? After researching and reading various posts, I expected my P4 to be able to play these files with xvmc. I struggling with severe A/V sync issues. I don't have my high definition monitor yet, I'm attempting to play these on an NTSC TV with TV out. Is this maybe more difficult to do? Some downscaling issue maybe? Playing these files consumes the entire CPU between mplayer and Xorg. Should I be transcoding these files to mpeg4 or x264? (I'm actually experimenting with that now). I'm interested in the transcoding option for 2 reasons; 1) to allow my P4 to play them, 2) to conserve on disk space. Does compressing the video files make my playback problems harder or easier? Can anyone offer advice on what I should be pursuing in order to play HDTV recordings on my fancy LCD display with freevo? Thanks, Jim - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

The mpeg ts files have a 1280x720 resolution, which I want to play on my 1920x1080 display. OK, so you have 720p. Nit that hard. Recordings with 1920x1080 would be much harder. I'm stuggling to get these large HDTV mpeg ts streams to play smoothly on the 2.4GHZ P4 with NVIDIA FX 5200 using xvmc and ffpmeg12mc. Is this surprising? I did not try it, I don't have such streams (and I don't have 2.4 GHz), but it seems to be the limit. But IIRC xvmc should do all the work. Do not use xvmc for a test, maybe the hardware decode can't handle such huge files and try normal xv. Take a look at the CPU load. Playing these files consumes the entire CPU between mplayer and Xorg. Mplayer should use the CPU, X should not. Try xv for a change. Should I be transcoding these files to mpeg4 or x264? (I'm actually experimenting with that now). I'm interested in the transcoding option for 2 reasons; 1) to allow my P4 to play them, 2) to conserve on disk space. x264 is good for 2) and a very bad idea for 1). In fact, decoding H.264 takes much more CPU power. By old 2.6 GHz Pentium wasn't able to play 720p H.264 files. On the other hand, my new Core 2 Duo only uses one Core and can decode the files with cpufreqd slowing down the CPU to 1.5 GHz. Does compressing the video files make my playback problems harder or easier? Harder. Can anyone offer advice on what I should be pursuing in order to play HDTV recordings on my fancy LCD display with freevo? I also bought a fancy LCD ... and a Core 2 Duo 6400 to use it.

[Freevo-users] TV Out problem
At first - sorry for my english, im a czech living in germany :) I know this problem does acctualy not belong to this list, but I hope somebody can help me. I have freevo 1.6.2 installed on a ubuntu box with xorg and only a TV attached via S-VIDEO. Almost everything works perfect, but when playing videos (dvd, xvid, mpeg ...) the screen kind of flickers (seems like it was scrolling and is only noticable at scenes with fast movment). I suppose its a matter of the right modeline and/or frequencies in the xorg.conf file. I already tried to set up a modeline for PAL 720x576 - the flickering was still there and freevo was not displayed right (like it was still in a 800x600 resolution).

Re: [Freevo-users] TV Out problem
Hi David and all, Does your flickering look like a vertical line tearing the picture? If so, I have the same problem in the UK, reproduced with both an ATI card and an NVIDIA card (its actually there in normal usage, which you can see by maximising and minimising windows... but is much harder to notice). I believe this is a problem with how linux TVout works with PAL. I don't have a solution yet, so I hope your problem is different! If anyone can shed any light on this, I would be very greatful. Perhaps coincidentally, I am also running Ubuntu.

Re: [Freevo-users] TV Out problem
I know newer versions of nvidia driver (9xxx possibly 8xxx) the mode line is depreciated so line tuning a mode line is not possible. also once you set the video mode(PAL-b) i doubt frequencies are adjustable. you may try the nvidia forum for known bugs, also there are older drivers that may not have the problem. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=forumid=14 On 2/11/07, David Ondracek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At first - sorry for my english, im a czech living in germany :) I know this problem does acctualy not belong to this list, but I hope somebody can help me.

[Freevo-users] Bluetooth Remote Control (using a SE T630)
Hi, I struggled with making my own IR receiver to use with LIRC but it's been 1 year with no progress. (yeah.. Lazy :-) ) Anyway, i stumbled across Bluemote (can't remember the URL right now) but it connects a Bluetooth enabled phone (I have a Sony Ericssion T630 and according to the site, the author makes it work on his T610) Got it up and running in 30 min, right now, fine tuning it with some scripts etc to do volume muting/volume up/dn etc.. The SE's joystick can be used as a mouse(if needed) Limitation is only towards the # of keypad the phone has. I've tried it with Freevo and it works great. (under X11, but not yet as standalone so I can't confirm if it will work standalone) Additional benefit is it can even transmit simple commands to the host pc via an exec command. - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
