Re: [Freevo-users] freevo installation on a AMD 64 X2 : linux 32 bits or 64 bits ?
As freevo and most of the multimedia software is either optomized for 32 bit or only available in 32 bit (win32 codecs), you really end of with little or no gain in most cases with the 64bit setup. This also true of most desktop setups. 64bit only really come in to its own in compute heavy loads with softare made to take advantage of it. Do we really need win32 codecs anymore? My 64 bit system doesnt have it, and I´m able to play the usual files (avi, xvid, divx) and also mkv. I didnt tried every file type but so far xine is playing everything I tried (err... not mkv... but mplayer do it fine). -- Christian Lyra POP-PR - RNP http://lyra.soueu.com.br If the Tao is great, then the operating system is great.

Thanks, Simon Hi, I can remember that I had a similar problem some time ago. This was about having something like... dvbcat dvb-s ZDF | mplayer - ...in my script. It seems that this means that a new process is started which might not be killed. I did not really fully understand it and do not know if this is really the reason. I ended up with writing my own recording plugin, an own tv plugin and an own recordserver.

Christian Lyra a écrit : I did the same step a month ago. And everything seems to be running smooth, including the VFD from my shuttle box. Just to be sure : you're running a 64 version of Linux ? There´s a way to install flash on 64 bit. cant remember the details but i did it before. What exactly didnt work? I didn't dig very deep, saw that the installer doesn't work on my system, google a little, and read that there is no support for flash in 64 bits version.

Re: [Freevo-users] VCR_CMD bash script, child process not killed when recording stops
Hi Simon, Do you know about VCR_PRE_REC and VCR_POST_REC? Maybe you can use these to construct a workaround for your problem.

[Freevo-users] Can only watch TV once per freevo startup
Hi! I use freevo 1.7.3 in ubuntu feisty to watch dvb via mplayer. I've encountered a weird problem when using freevo with the -fs switch. After starting mplayer once for dvb and exiting (ESC) it's not possible to watch tv again in the same freevo session. Play on channel menu just returns to freevo. Restarting freevo gives you again one shot at watching tv. This problem doesn't exist when starting freevo from gnome for example. Debug logging shows that subsequent mplayer tv-watching sessions end up in: Failed to open dvb://THE_CHANNEL. I've run ps -ef before and after closing mplayer. When running freevo in fs mode there are two processes that start when starting mplayer but don't die with it: [kdvb-fe-0] [saa7134[0] dvb] -- the driver of my dvb-tuner The same processes are there when running freevo under gnome but they die when mplayer dies. Any thoughts on this? - Jaakko - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell. From the desktop to the data center, Linux is going mainstream.

Re: [Freevo-users] pygoom
Christian Lyra wrote: Hi, 2. Somehow add -fPIC to CFLAGS in plugins/goom/Makefile (for AMD64 systems). This should already be the case if you run ./configure make. I tried the configure/make and there´s no -fPIC inside the Makefile, so I had to add it by hand. I notice that there´s a pygoom-0.1.3 on SVN, and it also need the fpic edit to compile. its working now. I also notice a few strange transitions, but i guess this will be too goom specific :-). I've updated the pygoom stuff for goom-2k4, look at the INSTALL for some help. You may need to fix the config.h file for you CPU, look at the flags section from /proc/cpuinfo for what can be enabled.

Re: [Freevo-users] Help with Remote
Doug, Works now. I will test out if it helps with skipping recordings randomly and report back. Recording worked rock stable in 1.7.3 but on SVN it started to skip them at random. Thanks!
