Hello list:

 i was reading wishlist and i saw: New Topic Presentation: So 
that you can show your presentation in Flash or PowerPoint like ( 
http://www.digitaldistribution.com/samples/ooointro11en.swf) with 
OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org/) or Magic Point ( 
http://www.mew.org/mgp). This isn't that simple, the application we 
use must provide an image output for Freevo to show.



 I was reading a little, i think the solution is use 
openoffice api and python-uno.


 I will try explain:

We launch openoffice 
-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp; -invisible


 And then we can use something as
http://www.artofsolving.com/files/DocumentConverter.py to convert 
ppt/pps/swf to html (it saves in separated images)



   what is your opinion?

Hi Thorsten,

I also found that infosatepg. But that programm is only usable with dvb-s and I 
am using dvb-t.
On dvb-t the technisat data is send in the arte videotext, unfortunately I do 
not know, how to get 
the data and I am not that good a developer that I would have hope to write 
something by myself.

I even send a mail to technisat to ask if it is possible to get this data 
somehow with a linux PC.
The answer was friendly, but nevertheless: no support for Linux.

 From the original mail from technisat:
Leider können wir Ihnen bezüglich Ihrer Anfrage keinerlei Tipps geben, da
Linux von uns nicht supportet wird. Die SFI Daten werden als Datenstream über
einen speziellen Datentransponder gesendet. Somit gibt es leider auch keine
xml Datei o.Ä. zum einpflegen.

If you are using dvb-s, this data will possible be a good solution and
if you find a way to use it with dvb-t, please let me know!

Regards
Tanja

 Hi,
 I've just found another alternative:

 It seems that this is the datasource which is also used by the TechniSat 
 receivers. Two colleagues of mine have those receivers and it seems that the 
 EPG data is pretty good.
 I have not tried to integrate it into freevo...

[Freevo-users] a small menu patch

Hello:

 i wanted to play a sound when i entering in any menu, and i did a patch
and now i include in this list for if somebody need it, i use
OSD_SOUNDS_ENABLED feature included in freevo.

 example:

   before we only could do it:
 OSD_SOUNDS= {
  'menu.navigate': None,
  'menu.back_one': None,
  'menu.select'  : None
 }

OSD_SOUNDS = {

[Freevo-users] Escaping string problem?

2008-01-12 Thread James Trietsch
I moved up to the SVN version for my box and after some initial
 confusion (didn't realize it used both /var/lib and /var/cache now, thought it
 was just supposed to be /var/lib) I've got things back and running
 nicely. Can't wait to try out some of the new fun, like the audio podcast
 plug-in.

However, I went to play some video from a data CD-ROM yesterday and it
 complained. It wasn't a full-out crash, but the pop-up error with
 'Shutdown' and 'Continue', although it was completely unresponsive at that
 point. I could see in the background that the files on the disc were
 listed. From what I see, it's wrecking trying to find/create the wrong
 directory in the VFS:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/freevo/main.py, line 290, in
 eventhandler
app.eventhandler(event)
  File /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/freevo/menu.py, line 707, in

 in mtime
t = os.stat(name)[ST_MTIME]
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/media/cdrom0/Last
 Exile'

Looks like it chokes when trying to find the modified time of the files inside. 
Now that I look at it, could it be the space is giving it trouble? I can 
navigate to that directory just fine from the command line, but I have to 
escape the space ('Last\ Exile') for it to work properly. This worked just fine 
back in 1.7.3 and I enjoyed several episodes from this disc.

Actually after some quick testing, I'm sure it's the space. A DVD of AVIs from 
a friend who used no spaces in filenames plays without any kind of issues 
whatsoever.

While we're on the subject of escape sequences, I've noticed that while 
streaming radio from the web, the title strings get chopped off when they run 
into an apostrophe/single-quote. For exmple, Simple Minds - Don instead of 
Simple Minds - Don't Forget About Me. It looks like the current SVN has some 
problems escaping funky characters in strings.

Don't think I can fix this one on my own (not without a lot of searching) so 
someone else can hopefully get right to the heart of the problem and correct 
it. Unless I'm the only one experiencing this problem? ^_^

Re: [Freevo-users] Web interface not highlighting conflicts

2008-01-12 Thread James Trietsch
John,

I wrote some quick-and-dirty code to highlight conflicts on the 'Scheduled 
Recordings' webpage, but I didn't develop it too far because I figured conflict 
resolution would take care of any conflicts. Basically anything that conflicted 
with the show above it would be highlighted in yellow.

I didn't realize conflicts were highlighted in the Freevo-based guide screen. I 
do a lot of work on the web pages because sometimes I work from my office when 
I have spare time or at lunch, so the web pages are easy to check from 
somewhere other than my living room. So I tend to forget there are similar 
listings on the TV screens themselves.

 Subject: [Freevo-users] Web interface not highlighting conflicts
 
 Hi,
 
 Was it my imagination or did the web interface used to highlight 
 conflicts in recording schedules similar to freevo's interface? If it 
 did it appears to be broken.

Re: [Freevo-users] tv_grab_de_tvtoday

2008-01-12 Thread James Trietsch
John, Tanja, Bjoern:

I noticed ever since I first loaded up 1.7.3 that the web guide would stop 
showing shows on a channel if a program ended on a non-five-minute interval. 
For example, tonight the channel 4 news goes 29 minutes (?) from 23:00 to 
23:29. And after that block, the schedule is empty space. For me, this usually 
only happens late at night, with weird shows like Jay Leno and David Letterman 
so it's not a huge issue.

What I'm starting to research now is that the web guide stops displaying show 
information before the actual TV.xml runs out of data. For example, yesterday 
the drop down only displayed 'Fri Jan 11' and 'Sat Jan 12', but checking TV.xml 
showed there was plenty of data for Sunday the 13th. Additionally, all the show 
information was available for all of Sunday's shows with the on-screen guide.

Another problem (most likely related) is that on the last day loaded in the 
TV.xml, the web guide data starts to 'run out' around 16:00. I haven't checked 
the on-screen guide for this problem, but I have a suspicion it's related to 
the missing day problem above.

All three of these are on my list to dig into, but if anyone else wants to look 
into it and can fix it quick, by all means go for it!

James

P.S. I'm not running tv_sort. I was under the impression it's primary function 
was to put in valid end-times for shows. Schedules Direct data all seems to 
have valid end times for all their shows, so I blew off tv_sort.

[Freevo-users] atsc scan of u.s. ota channels for hvr 950

2008-01-12 Thread Phil Raymond
I've gotten as far as getting Freevo 1.75 to talk to both analog and dvb sides 
of my hauppauge hvr 950 usb dongle. My problem is finding and using dvb-utils. 
I'm running Freevo on Ubuntu Gutsy, I've also tried using dvbtune, but haven't 
had any luck with it either. If anyone has had luck scanning for atsc u.s. 
over-the-air channels, please tell me how. I  also have configured the 
dvbstreamer plugin for Freevo correctly. I recall reading somewhere on the 
Freevo site that this plugin could be used for scanning as well, but I couldn't 
find any information on how to do this.If this is possible, I'm guessing this  
would be the best way to scan.Finally, if anyone could post a copy their 
local_conf.py for atsc tv channels, that would be a big help too.
