[Freevo-users] freevo without X

2007-12-28 Thread Jaap Struyk
Hello,

Currently I'am building a new server and was wondering if it's possible
to set up freevo without installing X at all.
I know freevo can be run in framebuffer but I was wondering wich
problems I run into without X being on my system, has anyone tryed this
before and has some info for me?

That is a huge mpeg2 file must have been a long broadcast. There is
not a plugin to make a dvd, but you can use the encoding server to
reencode the movie to something smaller.  You will need to add
plugin.activate('video.reencode') to the re-encode section of your
local_config.py and start the server with freevo encodingserver start.
At this point you will have a menu option to transcode the videos when
you press your E ( when using a keyboard) on a file. Beyond that off
hand I think yo will have to go somewhere else to make the dvd.

If you have to reroute the sound at the cli, then you will have to
reroute the sound for freevo to use it also. This probably why most
sites recommend the cable, less trouble. However you might try the the
" RADIO_DEVICE =" setting if you have not already or making a wrapper
script for the RADIO_CMD that calls the sox rerouting before calling
the the radio channel. After looking at the command you using, I am
not so your that you are using DMA routing so much as using a software
version of the patch cable. Take a look at the bttv tvcard btaudio
driver help in the wiki for an example of a DMA routing setup. That
get you started on the right path.

[Freevo-users] radio over DMA

2007-12-28 Thread Andreas Dick
hei all
I just installed a PCTV 310i card and tried to use the radio (tv not yet).
on the net some tipps says to install a spezial cable.. this do not work for 
me... on the other hand is there a alsa driver to route the signal over DMA 
to /dev/dsp1 and this works well. I use now rerouting with sox:
$ sox -q -c2 -sw -tossdsp -r32000 /dev/dsp1 -tossdsp /dev/dsp

My question now: is this the normal way to do it? or should it work without 
this? even if I set
AUDIO_DEVICE   = '/dev/dsp'
AUDIO_INPUT_DEVICE = '/dev/dsp1'
I have no radio sound without the sox trick (other sound like mp3 and CD is 
working well!)

for me it is no problem at the moment, i wrote a bash script for starting and 
stopping the radio, but its just strange for me that I have to do that.

thanks for tipps
Andreas

That's correct it can't but MPlayer uses the first -vo setting and IIRC
the MPLAYER_ARGS comes first so it should use these settings.

yet.

This is what I have, but haven't tried vpodcast on this machine as the
network connection is wireless and a bit flaky.

MPLAYER_ARGS_DEF = \
(('-autosync 100 -osd-duration 3000 -nolirc -autoq 100 -subpos 92 -fs '
+ '-screenw %s -screenh %s') % (CONF.width, CONF.height))

MPLAYER_ARGS = {
'dvd': '-cache 8192 -vo xvmc -vc ffmpeg12mc -afm hwac3',
[snip]
'ivtv'   : '-cache 8192',
'mpeg'   : '-cache 8192 -vo xvmc -vc ffmpeg12mc',
'mpg': '-cache 8192 -vo xvmc -vc ffmpeg12mc',
[snip]
}
