[Freevo-users] VCR_CMD and Hauppauge HVR-1300
Hi all, I would like to build a VCR_CMD string for using with an HVR-1300. I want to record analog channels, using the hardware encoder of the HVR-1300. If I do a cat /dev/video1 test.mpg, I do get a valid mpeg file, so my question is: what VCR_CMD command should I use inside freevo to record the hardware-encoded mpeg2 stream, knowing that: - i want to keep the ability to stop a recording after a defined time - i don't want to transcode the mpeg stream in any way, just save it to disk It should be a little like the following, but I am a little bit lost with all those mencoder switches # VCR_CMD = (CONF.mencoder + ' ' + #'tv:// ' + # New mplayer requires this. #'-tv driver=%s:input=%d' % (TV_DRIVER, TV_INPUT) + #':norm=%s' % CONF.tv + #':channel=%(channel)s' +# Filled in by Freevo #':chanlist=%s' % CONF.chanlist + #':width=%d:height=%d' % (TV_REC_SIZE[0], TV_REC_SIZE[1]) + #':outfmt=%s' % TV_REC_OUTFMT + #':device=%s' % TV_DEVICE + #VCR_AUDIO + # set above #' -ovc lavc -lavcopts ' + # Mencoder lavcodec video codec #'vcodec=mpeg4' +# lavcodec mpeg-4 #':vbitrate=1200:' + # Change lower/higher, bitrate #'keyint=30 ' + # Keyframe every 10 secs, change? #'-oac mp3lame -lameopts ' + # Use Lame for MP3 encoding, must be enabled in mencoder! #'br=128:cbr:mode=3 ' + # MP3 const. bitrate, 128 kbit/s #'-ffourcc divx ' + # Force 'divx' ident, better compat. #'-endpos %(seconds)s ' +# only mencoder uses this so do it here. #'-o %(filename)s') # Filled in by Freevo I though using mplayer instead of mencoder, because mplayer has a lovely save-stream-to-file feature, but problem is that I then cannot program the end of the record (%(seconds)). Any help is welcome. PS: the best for me would be to use the ivtv plugin, but unfortunatelly, my HVR board seems to not be supported by the ivtv driver. I will not get live pause with the normal method, but it is a first integration step. In a next effort, I will try to adapt the ivtv plugin for my HVR.

I think that you will need to use the copy stream commands of mencoder, rather than trying to re-encode the video and audio. You should first try using mencoder or mplayer from the command line to get the arguments correct. Another choice may be to use a DVB plug-in, see the wiki for details, and treat the cards a a DVB device. HTH Duncan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Same thing happens if I enable 'onlyNew'.
I'm gessing that there is a database that has the favourites, and that the
schema doesn't have those fields.
Any idea how to fix it? If it's a schema issue, should there be a function
to upgrade the db schema on freevo upgrades?
One solution is to turn off debugging as this is being caused by a bug
in a debug statement, :).
This is only a temp solution, can you raise a bug report of the tracker?

Re: [Freevo-users] Digital tuner with CableCard support?
Jon Morris wrote: I am looking to upgrade my cheap TV tuner card (Pinnacle Pro). I would ultimately like to get something that will allow me to record HDTV from my digital cable provider. They offer CableCards, but I am not having much luck finding a tuner card that accepts CableCards and is also supported under Linux. Does anyone know of one? I have heard that come 2009 our cable provider may stop their analog service, and require non-digital devices to use a digital to analog conversion box. Because of that I would like to purchase a digital tuner card so I won’t have to do anything additional in 2009. DVB-C should be supported under Linux, a quick google may help. I can't suggest a specific card that will work. If not, will Freevo 2 work with two different types of tuner cards? If I can’t get a digital card yet, I would like to buy something like a Hauppage (ivtv?) to get better quality. I would use that as my primary device, and then use my old Pinnacle Pro (bttv) as the second tuner. Both freevo-1 and freevo-2 support different types of TV cards, you can quite happily use both in the same machine with out any problems. Duncan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I've made quite a mess with apple files and links in the following folders:

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/video/plugins
I don't understand why Freevo consists of such a mess with files
shattered everywhere. I guess it doesn't matter when you're not having
to fix things.
How have you installed them? Using python setup.py install?
If so then they are in the build directory which you can safely delete.
If you copied the files by hand then there will be a .pyc file too and
these need to be deleted.
However I still get two or three variants of this message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File /usr/share/pycentral/python-freevo/site-packages/freevo/plugin.py,
line 555, in __load_plugin__
exec('import %s' % module)
File string, line 1, in module
ImportError: No module named appletrailers
I think I literally messed it up. Think I'll back up local_conf.py and
completely remove/reinstall Freevo.
Should be easy enough to clean up your mess! Find the files and remove
the appletrailer files.
find /usr/lib/python2.*/freevo /usr/share/pycentral/python-freevo/ \
-name appletr* | xargs rm -v
Run the command without the | xargs rm -v first just to check what will
be deleted.
Then copy the files by hand to the correct location.
BTW freevo does not touch your local_conf.py.
Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] Problems loading plugins in 1.7.3
From: Art S R [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Did you also try John's suggestion of placing the files in:
/usr/share/pycentral/python-freevo/site-packages/freevo/video/plugins/
(note that it's video/plugins)
and leaving the local_conf.py entry as:
plugin.activate('video.appletrailers')
This should place the Apple Trailers option under the Freevo Movies menu.
Yes, I'm running Freevo 1.7. However, even though I am able to get the
plugin loaded, I am not able to successfully download the trailers. After
running for a minute or so, the plugin crashes Freevo. I'll report this in
another thread.
