[Freevo-users] New to Freevo; No audio playback; skips files

2008-02-23 Thread Ramzy Darwish
HI,
I am setting up a Freevo system on Debian Etch and have been making a
lot of progress, but seem to be having problems getting audio files to
actually play.

I have ripped a few discs to my machine at different speeds and with
different encodings and nothing seems to cause the file to actually
play.

I can browse through my collection, but if I select a file, it brings
up the playing window, then quickly scrolls through each file in that
directory and goes back to the file selection window.

So if I pick the fourth file in the list, the window will quickly show
that it is playing this file, with no audio coming out, then jump to
the fifth, sixth, etc. Then go back to the menu.

The files do exist and are not of zero length. They playback fine in
mplayer or xine if started separately. I have tried setting both in
local_conf.py.

I am using Freevo v.1.7.3 from debian prebuilt packages.

Here is an excerpt from the logs:

[Freevo-users] Scripts for shoutcast / icecast stations

2008-02-23 Thread Helmut Auer
Hi List,

I've written some scripts for fetching shoutcast and icecast stations to 
a freevo fxd file.
You can download these at:
http://www.htpc-forum.de/index.php?url=downloads.php
in the Tools section.

README:

> Scripts for creating FreeVo fxd files for shoutcast and icecast stations:
>
> get_icefxd.sh: Creates icecast.fxd
>Syntax: get_icefxd.sh [num_stations]
>   num_stations tells how much stations per genre are retrieved.
>
> get_shoutfxd.sh: Creates shoutcast.fxd
>Syntax: get_shoufxd.sh [num_stations]
>   num_stations tells how much stations per genre are retrieved.
>
> get_castlogos.sh
>Tries to fetch logos for the stations
>
> get_logo.pl
>Searches logos on a url.
>
> The sh scripts are containing some variables at the top which should 
> be adopted to your needs.
> e.g:
> COVER_DIR="/audio/covers"   # Where the covers are located
> UTIL_DIR="/_config/bin" # Where the scripts ar located
>
> The scripts are inspired by the shoutcast_grabber.pl scriptfrom:
> http://sourceforge.net/projects/starcastgrab/
>
> To use all features execute e.g:
>
> sh get_icefxd.sh 50
> sh get_shoutfxd.sh 50
> sh get_castlogos.sh
>
>
> FreeVo's local_conf.py AUDIO_ITEMS should look like:
>
> AUDIO_ITEMS = [ ('Audio', '/audio'),
> ('Media', '/media'),
> '/usr/share/freevo/fxd/icecast.fxd',
> '/usr/share/freevo/fxd/shoutcast.fxd',
> '/usr/share/freevo/fxd/webradio.fxd' ]
>
> Send suggestions, bugs, etc to < h e l m u t   a t   h e l m u t a u e 
> r . d e >
>

[Freevo-users] Crash when using Show Lyrics

2008-02-23 Thread Jim Duda
I keep getting this crash when doing the following:

1) Navigate to a directory of mp3 or ogg items.
2) Start playing audio
3) Use the DISPLAY key to disconnect the player
4) Navigate back to the mp3/ogg file.
5) Choose Show Lyrics
6) Sing along with the song -- I think this is the critical part :-)
7) After the song completes, Freevo crashes
