[Freevo-users] freevo not reading all TV.xml
Hi All, I've been playing around with getting xmltv data from 3 different grabbers and then merging everything into one TV.xml file. So I ended up having a TV.xml that has, in this order, the channel and programme trees of the first grabber, then the same trees from the 2nd grabber and the same for the 3rd grabber. But when I do freevo tv_grab --query, freevo only recognizes channels that are in the first channel tree of the TV.xml. Is this something you're aware of? I didn't have the time to look at the freevo code to see what's going wrong. My easy solution was a xslt stylesheet with two xsl:copy-of statements. That did the trick.

[Freevo-users] kaa-popcorn: allow mplayer input when mplayer is not embedded
Freevo prevents mplayer from understanding input even if you configure freevo
not to embed mplayer. This resulted in a mplayer window that could not be
closed, skipped or paused and forces you to watch the video untill it ends.
The attached patch prevents this.

If you submit future patches, I'd appreciate if you did so on the freevo-devel mailing list, and prefixed the subject with [PATCH] so that it is more visible. (I very nearly missed this one.)

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo using alsa
Hi Duncan, The Freevo box is directly connected to a 5.1 speaker system. When I open alsamixer on the terminal, I can control the global volume of the whole system with the PCM channel. However, when I'm on the main menu of Freevo, I can control the volume using the remote Vol+ and Vol- buttons. When I press one of these, the Freevo OSD will show that it's changing the volume, but no alsa line gets modified. I'm thinking that maybe the volume control is not using ALSA at all. Do I have to install some command line tool for this to work?

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo using alsa
hei Benedikt
I had similar soundcard problems:
1) alsamixer showed me no Master and no Surround/Center/LFE controls as I
expected (I had just a PCM and a Front control) for my card... - the
solution was then that for my 5.1 soundcard (NVidia hda) I have to use the
following module option in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa :
--
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch-dig
--
with this '6ch' option I find all expected channels in alsamixer, including a
correct Master control.
2) I failed with the freevo alsamixer plugin too, but I works now great with
the alsamixer2 plugin:
plugin.remove('mixer')
plugin.activate('alsamixer2')
ALSAMIXER2_MAIN_CTRL = 'Master'
ALSAMIXER2_MUTE_CTRL = 'Master'
ALSAMIXER2_CTRLS = [
# (ctrl, card, default vol, min vol, max vol)
('Master', 'hw:NVidia', 90, 0, 100),
]

maybe you find a similar solution?

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo using alsa
Hi Andreas,
I do have the all the 6 channel for the volume control. In addition, I
also have the PCM control, which controls all 6 channels (like a general
volume), so the sound card itself works fine in 6ch mode (I tested it
with a DVD).
However, the alsamixer plug-in does not control either of the 6
channels, nor the PCM volume.
I'm interested in trying alsamixer2, but I can't find this plug-in when
listing them in freevo.
How can I get it?
