Re: [Freevo-users] VHS video input
I 'used' to run an svideo input on a full featured hdtv card. This was a few years back so I can't remember the specifics, however there was a plugin to add the composite input to the menu. I used to record with a completely different script though (not integrated with freevo) only because I kept changing mencoder settings and didn't want to have to restart freevo every time I made a change. If you only want to watch the VHS through your analogue inut though, there should be a simple plugin for this purpose. -Justin On Sun, 22 Mar 2009 11:00:15 +0900, Elizabeth Dodd wrote: > > I've got dvb-t tv running, and now i'm experimenting with the input on > the old > Hauppauge350 > so i can run it into S-Video and line in > and watch stuff off the (ancient) VHS recorder / player > > so how will i integrate this into freevo? > > > -- > Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are > powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.

Re: [Freevo-users] Automount USB recommendations?
Roy,
I've had good success using the automount program.
I also use the usb plugin.
plugin.activate('usb')
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='video', args=('USB Device 1',
'/mnt/usb/device_a'))
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='audio', args=('USB Device 1',
'/mnt/usb/device_a'))
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='image', args=('USB Device 1',
'/mnt/usb/device_a'))
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='video', args=('USB Device 2',
'/mnt/usb/device_b'))
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='audio', args=('USB Device 2',
'/mnt/usb/device_b'))
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='image', args=('USB Device 2',
'/mnt/usb/device_b'))

A couple of other observations, this time from mplayer's perspective.
When the watch TV command is passed as a string (the "good" scenario),
my mplayer-stdout*.log shows the following entries for the TV program
being watched:
Playing tv://.
TV file format detected.

Additionally, mplayer-stderr*.log has no log entries.
However, when the watch TV command is passed as a list (the "bad"
scenario), the following differences from the above are noted in
mplayer-stdout*.log:
Playing tv:// -tv

[Freevo-users] Automount USB recommendations?
I've got Freevo running on a Ubuntu Server system, and currently don't have any automount system installed. I'd like to have the box automatically mount USB thumbdrives and such when they are plugged in. More specifically, I'd like to mount them read-only so that they can be safely removed, even if they are not properly unmounted. And yes, I'd like things cleaned up automatically if they are yanked out (think impatient wife and children). Does anyone have any recommendations on automount solutions?
