Re: [Freevo-users] freevo to play movies in full screen

[Michel Hoogervorst]

Hi,

Are you running Freevo on a framebuffer, or from X?
When running in a framebuffer, setting the display to sdl in
freevo.confmakes the mirracle happen :-)


2007/3/12, Lizard King825 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Hi all,
My freevo is configure to start in full screen.
I have done the freevo setup
when I play movies the movies on the tv are not full screen and they are
over to left side of the screen in a small box.
the movies I am trying to play are in iso format.
I have this set in my local_config.py : VIDEO_PREFERED_PLAYER='mplayer'
Any suggestions on what to set to fix this?
I can play movies on the tv in full screen with mplayer, but not full
screen in freevo?
thank you

Use http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/TroubleShooting to get the
mplayer command line and post this.

[Freevo-users] mplayer arguements

[Tom Weichmann]

After an upgrade from SuSE 10.0 to 10.2, I have got some wierdness with 
mplayer.

If I just do a 'mplayer /dev/video0'

I get pretty good video., but if I use freevo, it changes the 4:3 signal to 
something that looks like 16:0 and skips a lot.  Once I close sown freeo and 
do a 'mplayer /dev/video0' again, the ourput looks like the freevo output, 
16:9ish and choppy.  Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks,

Tom Weichmann

Looks like more people are having the same (kind of) problems. (See the
Freevo-users: Picture folders-thread)
Maybe raise a bugreport?

Hi,

Since upgrading to 1.7.0, Freevo doesn't show any album covers when
browsing/playing music.

When browsing music, I see this in main-500.log:
osd.py: Bitmap file "/home/michel/Muziek/sic-mdk.png " doesn't exist!

I guess this should be "music-mdk.png"?  Looks like it chops off the first
two characters.
The file in the directory is called "front.jpg" though, so this doesn't make
any sense. 

Any idea what is causing this?
I have the same problem both with my originel local_conf.py and a newly
created one off of the local_conf.py.exaple.

Just use the item's sub-menu and select delete info. Go to the video
item and press 'E' for Enter and from there you can delete it.

The cover can be stored in the cover.jpg, cover.png, etc file in a
directory.

They are stored in the cache's overlay directory, as a .raw file.

In the overlay directory there are another three files, freevo.cache,
metadata.cache, mmpython.cache which are in python's pickle format the

Re: [Freevo-users] Picture folders

[Christian Lyra]

thanks! It worked, but there´s a little bug. The parser discard the
first two letters of the icon file!
My .directory is like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/new_freevo$ cat .directory
Name=New Freevo Pictures
Comment=fotos do freevo
Icon=logo.png

then I get this:
osd.py: Bitmap file "/tmp/new_freevo/go.png" doesn't exist!

if I changed to: Icon:lologo.png it works!

There is a .directory file that can be used for this. I'm not sure if it
has been fully implemented. If not then please raise a bug report.

eg:
# cat .directory
Name=My TV
Comment=TV Directory
Icon=logo.png

or

# cat .directory

Re: [Freevo-users] Amazon question

[Dan Mancini]

Hi,

Where does it put the covers?  I have a cover that I searched, and now I
can't find it

Also the IMdb, same question. This works really cool, but if you select
the wrong movie picture, I can't find out where it was saved to delete
it.
To sum up, where are movie covers, and CD covers stored?  

Thanks
Dan M

[Freevo-users] Picture folders

[Christian Lyra]

Hi there,

Is there a way to change the default icon of a "folder" for picture
folders? I´d like to show a thumbnail of a picture for each picture
folder, like the ones you found on web image galeries.

I know i can create fxd slideshows with the same name of the folder,
but it´s not the same thing. With slideshows I cant enter the folder
and browse the thumbnails.

I feel a bit stupid, adding to the dvb section in MPLAYER_ARGS works
fine... :-O

OK, I will discribe the setup I use:
Using an dreambox for tv viewing with my smartcard in it wich streams
the cards info on local network to my freevo-box for recodings.
If someone of the freevo team sees a problem in it du too it's possible
illigal nature please lett me know. (I don't want to bring the project

MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS, see freevo_conf.py or maybe there is something in
the wiki.

I don't think that this would be a problem, Linux is full of grey areas
that are generally okay for personal use.

I have a similar problem, 16x9 TV and a both nvidia and PVR-350 cards,
but have not found a satisfactory solution. mplayer seems to compress
the video vertically so the movie has black borders all round. The
quality looks good. IIRC the video signal should be compressed
horizontally. The "-monitoraspect 16:9" option to mplayer helps, but is
not good when a video is 16x9.

It seems that most people you have this working are using different
video cards (VIA, Matrox G400).

All I found when googling around what that the 16x9 is non-standard and
not really supported. mpeg files can have a field that says if a video
is 16x9 and TV uses the wss (wide screen signal) in the vbi data.

Hopefully someone knows a solution that doesn't require a TV with VGA input.

It may be that you need to remove the Twisted-2.5.0 package from
/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ or
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ before installing Twisted-2.4.0.

> I use SuSE 10.2 and Python 2.5.

Should be okay but you would be better with Python 2.4 as there is a bug
fix in kaa.imlib2 which fixes a problem with Python 2.5. The recommended
version on Python and Twisted are both 2.4. I will in a future release
add support for 2.5 but not quite yet. (We don't use any 2.5 features)

Yes it's for cover art downloading.

See:

It tells you what it's for and how to do it. Getting the amazon key is a
 bit of a pain.

You should be able to download the imdb-patches.tar.gz file (not
