Re: [Freevo-users] Manual installation of Freevo in Ubuntu 8.04

2008-07-13 Thread Paul Sijben


By the way, I can't check it now, but I think freevo package has been 
removed from Hardy (I can't find it in packages.ubuntu.com 
http://packages.ubuntu.com, but it do appears in 'intrepid'). Can 
someone confirm this?


I can confirm it, indeed freevo is no longer available for install 
through the regular ubuntu channels

[Freevo-users] 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 5-6: invalid data

2008-07-13 Thread Bjoern Franke
Hello,

some months ago I had the same problem, but I don't remember how I fixed 
it.
The freevo-webserver has problems with the german Umlaute in the 
TV.xml-file.

Freevo is version 1.8.1, LOCALE in local_config.py is set to iso-8859-15.

web.Server Traceback (most recent call last):

[Freevo-users] Shutdown is not happening

2008-07-13 Thread Sandip Devnath

OS: Fedora Linux

I tried following

1)
Added following line in /etc/suders
---
Cmnd_Alias POWER = /usr/bin/poweroff, /sbin/shutdown, /sbin/halt
sandip  ALL=(ALL)  NOPASSWD: POWER
--

2).
Modified .freevo/local_conf.py

with following
SHUTDOWN_CONFIRM   = 0
SYS_SHUTDOWN_ENABLE = 1
SYS_SHUTDOWN_CMD = sudo poweroff
SYS_RESTART_CMD = sudo shutdown -r now


3).
Start freevo as user sandip

4).
From freevo GUI I shutdown the sytem. I get following error

sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo

Then I try removing sudo word from the command i.e.
SHUTDOWN_CONFIRM   = 0

SYS_SHUTDOWN_ENABLE = 1

SYS_SHUTDOWN_CMD = poweroff

SYS_RESTART_CMD = shutdown -r now

I get following error. I tried shutdown too.

shutdown:you must be root to do that!
poweroff: must be superuser.

Beside this even though I did SHUTDOWN_CONFIRM  = 0. I prompted for 
conformation.

Thanks,
Sandip

[Freevo-users] Using Freevo without EPG, manual record/pause only

2008-07-13 Thread Nanna
Hi there. New to Freevo, just a quick question for those who may already use a 
setup how I want to.

Basically I want to forgo any messing around with EPG stuff. I travel a lot. I 
want to plug in to multiple paytv/freeview set-top boxen. I'll browse through 
their EPG's and make my choices. I don't want to worry about xmltv or anything 
at all. Simply functional manual recording/pausing of live tv, and perhaps with 
the ability to schedule a record time/date. That and watching live tv 
obviously. So basically a budget capture card with composite/s-vhs in, hooked 
to a set-top box of any description.

Has anyone attempted a setup similar to this, or could give me advice as to the 
steps i'd need to go through, or even just a word or two on whether it's 
possible to disable epg or not. Basically it's a month down the line that i'll 
even be starting the project, but advice/hints/criticisms/anything would be 
gladly welcomed.

As an afterthought, some sort of positionable osd that pops up for scheduling a 
recording would be best. That way I can have the epg of the set-top box still 
open and i can set my record time without having to remember dates/times. But 
that's not really a priority.

Anyway, thanks loads in advance to all whom dare offer advice.

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo webserver LiveWebTV plugin

 hi ppl :)
 I was working on this thing for a while and have two solutions. One I 
 described earlier at 
 http://doc.freevo.org/TipsAndTricks#head-0d183c9bc8870ce53a63467d2dfb3bc9f454f0a9
 which involved a lot of steps, I was asked to write a patch for Freevo, but 
 not so good, sorry. However I have created a script now, which is also 
 available now at the site above, which should do all the steps involved for 
 the user. Would be nice if some people could test it and let me know if it 
 works on their system or not, and what error messages come out if it does not 
 work. thx 
 oh yeah and the second solution is much nicer, especially from the looks, 
 there are real buttons etc, but that only works in php and as far as i found 
 out, twistedweb server can't handle php so another webserver (e.g.) has to 
 server the php version of the LiveWebTV within a frame in the freevo 
 webserver, but more about that some other time, thx ppl :)
 jody :)

Hi Jody
Thanks for your script. Unfortunately it didn't work out of the box for me. So 
I 
had to do some manual adaptations. I'm using a Hauppauge PVR 350. The streaming 
server start command looks something like this:
vlc -vvv --color pvr:///dev/video0:norm=pal:frequency=210250:size=620x480 
--sout \'#standard{access=http,mux=ts,url=192.168.0.123:12345}\' -I dummy

Starting and stopping the server from the LiveTV pannel works fine. But the 
image is not perfect and I have a bad audio quality with echo. Any suggestions 
for improvements?

To change the channel the following command works for me:
command = ivtv-tune -f 210.250

I decided not to use the .xawtv 'workaround' but configured the right frequency 
like shown above in each of my channel files.

The last problem I have is how to start the client. With the given solution I 
have to start and configure vlc manually with the streaming server url as 
streaming client on my windows box. media players doesn't like the stream with 
mms:// or http://. What do you use? How do you start the client? Do I have to 
modify my vlc sever command?

Thanks and regards
Markus
