 Finding old stuff means you need a good search engine and good search 
 strategies - and then mailing list or forum gives no advantage.

Mailist provides the means of searching through archives much easier and
simpler since it's all in the user's desktop/laptop and it's all
threaded and you can use it when one does not have an I-net connection
available. (like me)

 I'd expect more newer users wanting a forum and less older users, and
 that 
 with time there will be enough interest to maintain a forum - someone
 has to 
 read and answer the posts, remove spam, and maintain some order when 
 arguments develop.

Hey.. who're you calling old?? :-)

 If so then maybe the owner is root and your running from a user with the
 incorrect permissions. The database is in cachedir/freevo.sqlite,
 where cachedir is /tmp/freevo or /var/cache/freevo
 


Thanks Duncan
  The owner was another user on the same box.  I just ended up
deleting /var/cach/freevo and letting freevo rebuild it.

  I've run into a couple of problems with freevo that in retrospect were
possibly similar issues around running freevo under multiple accounts.
For now I'll avoid it.

  To me that's a bug - I made an entry on the sourceforge site under
bugs  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=446895group_id=46652
referring to freevo cache but I'm not sure that's the only spot problems
may occur.   Wasn't there discussion earlier about a problem that didn't
show up when freevo was run as root?

Re: [Freevo-users] OSD_OVERSCAN info needed

2007-08-14 Thread Stephen Rowles

The problem is this is TV out - not VGA. Its not a simple case of 
tweaking with xvidtune a small fraction and having the monitor re-sync. 
I've tried vid tune and all I get is horribly non-synced output, and the 
danger of damaging my TV ;)


Rob Shortt wrote:
 Guys, you need to find a way to adjust your modeline in X or framebuffer
 (whichever you use).  The screen positioning is controlled there.  The
 easiest way to do this in X is (was at least) to use xvidtune, tweak it,
 and capture the new parameters to use.

[Freevo-users] Start freevo twice with two xorg layouts

2007-08-14 Thread Thomas Fritzsch
Hey everyone,

first, huge thanks to all developers for the nice software!

I use freevo on a selfmade HTPC with a touchscreen monitor (mouse 
support, please ;-)) and
a projector. In the past, xorg was configured for twinview on a NV
quadro, so the monitor shows freevo and if I would use the projector I
changed $DISPLAY for xine or mplayer.
Now I bought a Matrox Quadro (four Devices) to run freevo on both screens:

- two users, tft and bea
- xorg with two layouts
- lirc setup only for tft
- bea uses keyboard

If I start freevo for tft with freevo -fs -layout tft -sharevts
-novtswitch, everything is fine. But if bea comes with freevo -fs
-layout bea -sharevts -novtswitch, freevo comes up on the projector,
but I cannot navigate anymore. For example, if tft plays music, the exit
button stops playing, but freevo does not come back to the menu.

Any suggestions?

[Freevo-users] Mouse support in Freevo?

2007-08-14 Thread Stephen Rowles
Having seen this mentioned in other threads I thought I would ask the 
question, is this something that would be easy (relatively) to do / provide?

My bluetooth usb dongle arrives this week, and I have a Wii remote that 
I will be trying to hook up to my linux machine. Ideally I would love a 
point and click interface, with the buttons only used while playing 
media, although a pop-up menu system for point and click over the top of 
media would also be ace (Freevo 2.0 for that one I guess, as it would 
need overlay support).

But for now, is there any way of adding mouse support for the main menu? 
any pointers (haha, pun not intentional) on the right areas of the code 
to look at, and appropriate python functions?

Cheers :)

PS, I will report back with instructions if I have any luck getting the 
wii remote to work!

Re: [Freevo-users] xmradio plugin

2007-08-14 Thread Joe Harris
I figured out it was an issue with my account/password that produced the error
in the log file.  I had to play around some with combinations of activating the
player and the XM_CMD variable to get it finally working.

I do not have the xmonline.cookies file.  Could that be why after listening to 1
station and going to another I get the You need to log back in.. message?  If
so, can I touch that file and it get used, or do I not have something enabled
properly?

This is great and thanks so much for the help.  The next question is.Has
there been any effort to grab the song/artist metadata to show on the screen?

Thanks again,

Joe

Re: [Freevo-users] Wiimote: was Mouse support in Freevo?

2007-08-14 Thread Michael Brown
Stephen,

I used the cwiid drivers (0.6rc2) and they worked for me.  You can start them 
from something like rc.local and background it.  The svn version supports 
daemonizing, but I can't get it to compile right now.  It has python bindings, 
and is under active development.

I've been thinking of writing a Wiivo plugin, a main menu item that would 
allow you to choose different Wiimote configurations bases on the types of 
games you want to play, or otherwise want to use the remote.  However, a 
teething toddler and 4 months of sleep deprivation have slowed it down some.  
I'm new to python, so I don't have much at this point.  I would be willing to 
help out where I can, if that's of interest to you...

Hope that helps!

/Mike
