The first thing to check is the recordserver log. I should report most
problems there. Make sure RECORDSERVER_DEBUG = 1 is in local_conf.py

The user that runs freevo recordserver is also specified in
local_conf.py as RECORDSERVER_UID and RECORDSERVER_GID.

Another change that may cause a problem is if you have a VIDEO_GROUPS
defined in local_conf.py. The recordable= setting needs to be deleted.

The video devices will need to have correct permissions and ownership.
so /dev/video0 should have read/write permissions for the video group
and owned by root:video or something like this. eg:
# ls -l /dev/video0
crw-rw  1 root video 81, 0 2007-02-25 09:22 /dev/video0

This is correctly specified.

I did this when I upgraded. (Freevo wouldn't start until I did)

They do, and the freevo user belongs to the video group. I can watch TV
fine, if the recordserver is not "running".

Which version of Twisted are you using?

We only support Twisted-2.4.0, at the moment 2.5.0 is not yet supported.
There is a patch with limited support in the Feature Requests for 2.5.0

But having said this I'm not sure that it is the source of your problem.
Gentoo does use 2.5.0.

Re: [Freevo-users] Recordserver hangs

 I just upgraded from 1.5.x (can't remember which x) to 1.7_rc2.

 Now, when I start the recordserver the tv module hangs.

I found this out. Again, freevo won't run at all with 2.5.0, so I
hardmasked it on my system and downgraded to 2.4.0.

One question: where does recordserver keep it's data? I'd like to 'clean'
it of everything that v1.5 might have made and return it to a 'freshly
installed' state... I didn't have much of interest in there, and it might
help...

The cache directory if it exists /var/cache/freevo otherwise
/tmp/freevo. The important directories and files to keep are:
./overlay
./logos
./record_schedule.xml
./TV.xml

Have you tried:
freevo cache -rebuild

It could be a data driven problem, but suspect that it could be caused
by old stuff in the site-packages.

You seem to have tried all the things that would I have done, but the
recordserver does run just fine. You could try the encodingserver as
this uses the same code as the recordserver. If this is crashing too
then I would suspect the install.

[Freevo-users] [ANNOUNCE] Freevo-1.7.0 Release

[Duncan Webb]

Hi all

Today, freevo-1.7.0 has been released, there has been a great deal of activity 
since freevo-1.7.0-rc2 with still more exciting new features. The statistics 
show 145 additions, 162 changes and 40 removals, since 1.7.0-rc2, much more 
than I expected :).

First and most importantly, I know that I have said this before *BUT* a really 
big thank you to all of you who have contributed and it is thanks to these 
contributions that freevo has been moving so quickly over the last few months, 
just in case your interested the "ever growing" list is in the Docs/CREDITS.

You will also need to download the latest kaa.base-0.1.2, kaa.metadata-0.6.0 
and kaa.imlib2-0.2.0 packages from the sourceforge pages. There has been no 
significant changes to the kaa modules that affect the operation of 
freevo-1.7.0 since RC2 (Release Candidate 2).

Some of the new features that have been added since RC2
* New Music Player Daemon (mpd) plug-in
* New record server commercial detection and removal
* New record server duplicate recording detection
* New PS3 support on Yellow Dog Linux 

* New buttonbar plug-in that displays buttons on the bottom of the screen
* New screensaver plug-in that allows easy writing of screen savers

I don't want to bore you with the complete list of changes as it is really 
quite long, you can see them all from the wiki pages: 
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/ChangeLog

To use the buttonbar you need to copy the ./contrib/examples/*_BB.fxd to 
/usr/share/skins/main/ as these buttonbar uses space at the bottom of the 
screen.

I'm continually surprised by the diversity and flexibility of Freevo and how 
*you* use Freevo. Who could have envisaged that Freevo would become so much 
more than a Home Theatre PC when the original version was written. 
Congratulations to you all for choosing Freevo for you HTPC.

Many thanks again
Duncan

[Freevo-users] Struggling with Xorg dpms

[Jim Duda]

I'm running freevo on a FC5 installation.  I'm having trouble disabling 
the Xorg dpms feature.  I'm using an nvidia FX 5200 card with the binary 
nvidia drivers from nvidia.  After some amount of time, my TV-out 
display goes dark.  I need to issue xset -dpms to turn the TV-out 
display back on.  I can manage this, it's just a pain to have to do.

I saw a similar post a few weeks ago.  The recommendation was to include
option "nodpms" in the xorg.conf file.  This isn't working for me.  The 
screen still goes dark, and now, xset -dpms has no affect.

The only thing wich seems to work is to use:
option "dpms" "true" and the xset -dpms when the screen goes black.

Anyone have any pointers on how to resolve this?

Jim

Thank you so much for this new release of our favorite "more-than"
htpc soft. :-)


I´d like to upgrade my freevo install but before upgrading the living
room machine, I tried to install freevo 1.7 on a test machine. I´m
using debian sarge, and had to backport a few packages to satisfy
freevo dependencies. Althought dependecies seems to be ok, freevo is
crashing when I try to select "listen to music". I tried another
install on a debian unstable machine and everything is fine. So I´m
trying to find what package is crashing freevo so I can update it.

This is what I get in the log:

Python-pygame is version 1.6 is this enough?

I have this problem ages ago.. I just include these commands on the
script that calls freevo :-). I mean I disable screensaver and dpms
with xset before calling freevo.

Re: [Freevo-users] Struggling with Xorg dpms

[Jim Duda]

Christian,

I have these commands in my startup script, however, they don't seem to 
help.

 xset s noblank
 xset s off
 xset -dpms

Are those the command you are referring to?

Thanks,

Jim

yes... my .xsession calls this little script:

#!/bin/sh

xsetroot -solid black
xset s off
xset -dpms
nvidia-settings --load-config-only
irexec /etc/freevo/lircrc &
freevo

I just checked the XF86Config-4 (yes...), and there´s a Option "DPMS".

What kind of window manager are you using? none? gnome?

same here... your config seems to be very similar to mine. No idea why
it works here and not there. Perhaps something with xorg?

Hi Jim,

mmpython and Freevo 1.7 are not compatible.

The current freevo (1.6.2) RPM depends on mmpython. You'll have to
remove freevo 1.6.2 first before installing python-kaa-metadata.
Otherwise you'll see this dependency issue.

However, for now, this means you'll be installing Freevo 1.7 manually
(from .tgz), since I haven't gotten around to releasing 1.7 RPMs yet.

The 1.7 release should upgrade and solve this dependency issue
automatically (I hope).

T.C.

This isn't quite true, mmpython but it can be installed, it just doesn't
get used by Freevo 1.7. The only conflict is /usr/bin/mminfo which can be
used to get information about media files or devices; Freevo only uses the
modules.

Don't you simply need to add in the Monitor section if the X11 config file:
Option "DPMS" "false"
