Thanks In Advance. Rahul Gosavi Hi Rahul, If you are talking about the tv.xine plugin this does not support live pause. tv.ivtv_xine (for IVTV based PVR cards) and the tv.livepause plugin both support live pause. If you want live pause with DVB you will need to use the tv.livepause plugin (and tv.dvbstreamer.record for recording). For this you will also need to get and build/install dvbstreamer (from www.dvbstreamer.org). If however you just want live tv (no pause) you can use tv.xine. In both case you will need to generate a channels.conf using the linuxtv scan utility. This takes a configuration file specify where the signals are, unfortunately while there appears to be lots of example config files for Europe and Australia and New Zealand there doesn't appear to be any. Not a big problem as you can use the w_scan utility to generate the channels.conf file it just takes a little longer: w_scan -X channels.conf Once you've done that for the tv.xine plugin copy the channels.conf to ~/.xine For tv.livepause you will need to setup dvbstreamer and then start it: (this only needs to be done once) setupdvbstreamer -t channels.conf followed by (every boot): dvbstreamer -d You will also need to configure your TV_CHANNELS in local_conf.py (for both plugins) For info on TV Plugins: http://doc.freevo.org/TvPlugins and here for configuring freevo for TV: http://doc.freevo.org/TVConfig cheers Adam -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
[Freevo-users] VDPAU - full HD playback using an NVidia card and lower speed CPU.
Hi all, I heard about this today in response to my post asking about HDMI output on Linux, having seen the 5 letters I decided to look it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU This looks very good apparently there is already support in xine and ffmpeg. OSD effects, de-interlace, h.264 decode etc. can all be handed off to an appropriate NVidia GPU (and in fact I can pick up a fanless one that supports VDPAU on Linux for about £40 for a PCI-E card). This looks perfect for media playback allowing HD even with a very slow processor (according to Phoronix): http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=nvidia_vdpau_gpunum=1 So anyone wanting to build an HD capable system, this could be a cheap, lower power and lower noise solution. Hopefully the graphics system for Freevo2 will be able to take advantage of this API to accelerate the output and provide shiny OSD display etc :) The mythtv wiki page as a good list of supported cards and the state of the drivers: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
Re: [Freevo-users] HDMI output with audio in Linux?
Awesome - thank you! I had not heard of VDPAU.. so looked it up and it looks perfect, with a new graphics card my AMD LE1000 might even play back HD h.264 content - WOW. I have one from MSI, model N9500GT-MD512Z, Nvidia 9500 fanless. It was only one I found with heatsink on oposite side of gpu, so it do not waste adjacent slot on motherboard. Card has HDMI out and small connector on board and cable included to connect to digital audio. I connected it to onboard SPDIF in parallel to my optical out (little soldering ;) So, at the end telly have picture and sound through hdmi. Motherboard - Asus A8N-VM CSM. Audio seems to work but not for everything. Recorded DVBs have sound crippled, but since my amplifier works fine with the very same content, I suppose my telly is one to blame. Haven't dug deeper yet. Btw, hope to get VDPAU working on this card ;) Reggie -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users

I have tested the Freevo 2 video pipeline with VDPAU and there are some problems. In order to use VDPAU we would need to use GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap in order to pull the video frame into a texture we can use within clutter. On NVIDIA cards using Xv this works quite well. However with VDPAU, there is some sluggishness (dropped frames). An NVIDIA 8500GT can do 24p ok, and an 8600GT seems to be able to do 30p without dropped frames. (This is with 2x AA.) But 60p is out of the question, at least with the 8600. I have not tested any 9000 series, but based on specs alone, I think a 9400 would behave about as well as an 8500. It seems that after VDPAU there is very little headroom left on the GPU to allow for GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap. Hopefully they do some optimization work. Alternatively, maybe there's some way to share textures between processes. (If there is, it would almost certainly require patching the player.)

Re: [Freevo-users] freevo-pos patch with vertical layout
As for now I solved the issue using freevo in windowed mode under windowmaker. I configured the window manager not to show the border and title of the window and now it seems like freevo is working in fullscreen. But still no real solution to the problem of the position switch... francesco On Sun, Feb 15, 2009 at 17:13, come se fosse antani ant...@gmail.com wrote: On Sun, Feb 15, 2009 at 09:01, Duncan Webb dun...@freevo.org wrote: francesco wrote: Hi. I'm using a 40'' LCD (1920x1080) hooked up with freevo. For a project I'll have to put the LCD in a vertical position. I successfully rotated the X output with xrandr (either -o right or --output VGA --rotate right) and modified the freevo.conf (with geometry = 1080x1920). When running freevo in window, the window places itself correctly. The problem is with freevo when running in fullscreen; freevo places its fullscreen output in the center of the screen leaving a black bar on its left side. So the picture doesn't start at the top left corner of the screen (remember I rotated the output with randr clockwise and the LCD phisically counterclockwise!)

Here is a thread that may be of interest. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=126994highlight=vdpau It looks like the method described in this thread is single process (the process that does the display is the same process that does the decoding). Freevo's design moves decoding into a separate process. With MPlayer this is obvious, but we do this even with libxine. Video decoding has the unhappy reality of being less than robust, and it's not a good thing for a corrupt video to crash the whole UI.

Re: [Freevo-users] freevo 1.8 memory usage when viewing images

Then going to audio the memory goes down to 715MB.
Not sure quite what the problem is, can you give a bit more detail?
I've made a directory with 63 photos (3264x2448). When I enter the
directory with Freevo 1.8.3, the memory raises to 813-900Mb, and when
I try to go to the next page, Freevo crashes. If I try with a
directory with less photos, changing from one page to another lasts
several seconds.
If I do the same test with Freevo 1.8.2, the memory footprint stands
without change, and I can navigate through the directory quickly and
without any problem.
I'll send several screenshots of Freevo 1.8.3 and Freevo 1.8.2 with
gnome system monitor in which you can see the memory and cpu
footprint.
When I check the code differences between 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 there are
quite a few changes to the osd.py module that deals with images. Will
you try taking the 1.8.2 osd.py module and replace it the 1.8.3
site-packages (remove the osd.pyc) and then see what happens?
Attached is a patch that deletes temporary images, which may help.
Attached is a patch that should reduce the memory and speed up the
display of images, it may not be 100% correct yet (lack of rotation and
using the thumbnails for the full image).
The thumbnails can be generated with the helper mkimagemrss and the
size of the thumbnail can be controlled with: WWW_IMAGE_THUMBNAIL_SIZE.
The patch applied to 1.8.3 with some fuzzy offsets.
Will you try this and provide some information if it helps.
