Re: [Freevo-users] OSD_OVERSCAN info needed
I just posted the patch to the freevo tracker on sourceforge, trying to follow the contribution rules as close as possible (first time, fear to forgot something, huh... :-) I've followed the advice of Duncan for the variables names, because as they are people that are maintaining the code, any modification should be easier to read for them if it respects their logic. Happy to gave you help. Bye _Pirlouwi. 2007/9/9, Stephen Rowles [EMAIL PROTECTED]: This patch works great for me :) TV positioning is now spot on - thank you!

Re: [Freevo-users] ivtv problem with HVR-1300

Are there any plans to support it? There is support for this card in the kernel (the cx88 driver). It is not yet completely stable as far as I know, so your mileage may vary. I have tried only one VideoGroup with record_group=None, but the error is still the same. What equivalent shell command could I try to test the setfmt() command that fails outside of python and freevo? In other words, it seems that the cx8800 is effectively an ivtv driver, but how can I detect what is wrong with this ioctl? r = fcntl.ioctl(self.device, i32(SET_FMT_NO), val) is equivalent to: v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video and you should also check v4l2-ctl --get-fmt-video VIDIOC_S_FMT and VIDIOC_G_FMT are basic video4linux commands and should work for all cards.

Re: [Freevo-users] ivtv problem with HVR-1300
I can get fmt-video, but not set it. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=768,height=576 ioctl: VIDIOC_S_FMT If you have connected this to a TV you will need to use 720x576 as the pixels are not square on a TV (4:3 aspect has 1.06667:1) 720x1.0667 = 768. Try this: v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=720,height=576 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# v4l2-ctl --get-fmt-video Format: Type : Video Capture Width/Height : 320/240 Pixel Format : BGR3 Field : Interlaced Bytes per Line: 960 Size Image: 230400 Colorspace: Unknown () Will try some googling about this problem too. Then you may need to set your geometry to 320x240. Is there anything else that I could check in a bash shell to help me correct my HVR-1300 problem? PS: I can change the resolution of my HVR display in TVTIME application. Colorspace seems a bit odd too. Duncan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
