Re: [Freevo-users] Regarding Channel List for India(Channel has no data loaded)

[Michel Hoogervorst]

Well, this at least shows that mplayer is the one that crashes, so it
has nothing to do with your Freevo config ;-)
Mplayer should not crash because of a bad parameter, it should just
give you a proper warning with what's wrong, but this output only imho
only tells us that mplayer has crashed...

Can you play anything else with mplayer?
Just type 'mplayer videofile.mpg' to play a normal video file to try.

If you only wish to use mplayer for watching TV, it might be an idea
to switch to TV Time as mentioned earlier by Jody Gugelhupf.
And for recording, as you seem to have an PVR-350 (this is ivtv am I
right?) you have another (better!) option for recording than with
mencoder as well :-)

Off course you could try to solve the issues with mplayer, but it
might not be worth the effort ;-)

[Freevo-users] Cannot playback .ts recorded tv with xine

[Pirlouwi]

Hello,
I want to display recorded tv (.ts files) with xine, but I got the message:
"no reader for this element" (or smthng like this, my interface is in fr).
although have I configured the VIDEO_XINE_SUFFIX variable by adding 'ts'
entry in it.
If I do the same with VIDEO_MPLAYER_SUFFIX, it works.
I prefer xine because the audio is more in sync with the video.
I have verified that xine was able to display .ts video from command line.
My problem is that freevo does not display any error on log file.

Re: [Freevo-users] Regarding Channel List for India(Channel has no data loaded)

[Yugandhar G.V]

Hi john,
 I have tried running the mplayer from the command line as follows
$ mplayer tv:// -tv
driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:input=0:norm=PAL:freq=188.3
My mplayer is getting crashed. I am sending the output of the
command in textline can you tell me what's being happened.
But when I capture the video from the card and store it in a file
and plays it using mplayer is working.
Cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg &
Mplayer test.mpg it is working fine and I can able to watch the tv.

Yugandhar.

Hi Yungandhar,

That all looks good so far.As Michel suggests it would be a good idea to 
test it's working from the command line. What tv plugin are you using, 
mplayer, tvtime? After that turn have a look at your log files probably 
/var/log/freevo/main-x.log and see what command freevo tries to use to 
play tv. Copy and paste this to the command line and see what's 
happening there.

[Freevo-users] Add Live stream TV with station switching without stream interruption to your Freevo website (www plugin) inside a tab

[Jody Gugelhupf]

hi ppl,
just wanted to inform that I have updated the freevo wiki - tips and tricks:
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/TipsAndTricks
I have added a description how you can add an extra tab in which you have an 
embedded mediaplayer
which opens a live stream from you tvcard so you can watch TV over the 
internet, also it describes
how you can switch channels through the website and start and stop the 
streamserver through the
web interface. If someone has a better idea to do this more efficient, e.g. 
read out the
channelinfo from the local_conf.py and then generate the necessary files 
automatically or if you
have question feel free to contact me. On my own site I also included a tab and 
combined it with
some scripts to control a relaycard attached to my parrallel port to control 
home appliances like
lights (turn on/off) and cameras etc. if someone is interested in that let me 
know,
have a good one :)

[Freevo-users] download option in media library on freevo webserver

[Jody Gugelhupf]

hi ppl :)
quick question, the freevo webserver site used to have an option, when in the 
media library, that
you could also download the files, that was before there was the possibility to 
watch the stuff i
a stream, nevertheless it would be cool to have the download option enabled 
again, as I use the
freevo site to share my media with my flatmates and friends, but it would just 
be nice if they
could just download the stuff directly, is that possible? thx

Re: [Freevo-users] DVD does not start automatically as it did before

[Pirlouwi]

I have corrected my xine problem, by taking the last sources of xine-lib
(117) and xine-ui (0995). Xine is working well now.
But I still have the problem that freevo does not start the playing of DVD
anymore (see copy of freevo screen below)
LOUIS


2007/6/24, Pirlouwi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


I don't know what has changed in my config, and therefore need I your
help.
When my freevo is in the first menu, and that I close the dvd drive with a
commercial dvd in it, I expect the dvd to start playing with xine.
It did before, but not anymore.
In place, the freevo screen shows this information:
"
   Piste1
   8 min
   8 Audiotracks
   32 Subtitles
   [, <
kaa.metadata
Lire le Titre 1
Lire le Titre 2
...
..
"

My first idea was that kaa was corrupted. I then grab from svn the last
version of kaa from freevo.sf.net, and "python setup.py install"ed it.
This had no influence.

this is freevo 1.6.3, ivtv  0.8.2, and a hauppauge 350, running Mepis 6.0 with
