Re: [Freevo-users] Manual installation of Freevo in Ubuntu 8.04
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 -- Paul Sijben mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Amersfoort http://www.sijben.net - Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!

[Freevo-users] Shutdown is not happening
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.

[Freevo-users] Using Freevo without EPG, manual record/pause only
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. - Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo webserver LiveWebTV plugin
Jody Gugelhupf schrieb: 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 - Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
