[Freevo-users] Freevo control with wireless mouse
Hi to all, as a first message in this list, I'd like to share my control configuration; I was able to activate my wireless mouse buttons to control freevo app, so I can use it as a remote. I mapped the up, down, return, escape and space bar (to pause video play) with respectively the wheel up, wheel down, right mouse btn, left mouse btn and wheel btn, by using the xbindkeys utility (http://hocwp.free.fr/xbindkeys/xbindkeys.html) along with xmacroplay (http://xmacro.sourceforge.net/). this is the content of file .xbindkeysrc in user home == "echo -e 'KeyStrPress Escape\nKeyStrRelease Escape\n' | xmacroplay :0 &" b:3 "echo -e 'KeyStrPress Up\nKeyStrRelease Up\n' | xmacroplay :0 &" b:4 "echo -e 'KeyStrPress Down\nKeyStrRelease Down\n' | xmacroplay :0 &" b:5 "echo -e 'KeyStrPress Return\nKeyStrRelease Return\n' | xmacroplay :0 &" b:1 "echo -e 'KeyStrPress space\nKeyStrRelease space\n' | xmacroplay :0 &" b:2 == this configuration works also with a wired mouse, as well. -- Saluti, Sergio -- Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.

IIRC you need to install the zopeinterface first then install the whole of Twisted-8.2.0. I don't remember having any problems installing Twisted from source. To do so is simple type "python setup.py install". Since you reckon that it is installed then try: # python >>> import twisted.web.microdom >>> If there are any missing dependencies the import command will show you.

That's a Debian install. Don't worry about copying the files etc. Make
symlinks.

First of all, is user larry still going to use this computer, or is it going
to be freevo fulltime?
If it is to be freevo fulltime, you will save a lot of heartache by purging
freevo, making a new user freevo with normal permissions and then installing
freevo.
I didn't track down which was the last group to which to add my user to stop
those error messages and did that to solve those errors.
Then make symlinks to all your existing collections, keeping the Debian
system, because otherwise you have to chase down quite a few places you have
to change, and the Debian setup makes the recordserver etc work properly
without tears.
Which mpd plugin have you got setup?
I am quite familiar with one, because I strongarmed by son into writing it.

[Freevo-users] Freevo User
Hi,
I just installed freevo from sid repositories after a standard debian lenny
install with kde as a de.
I have just started setting freevo up and am keen to have it set up nicely to
play music, videos and tv including timeshifting. My question today is
simply as which user I should run freevo. I noticed that there have been
audio and video as well as recording folders created in /home/freevo instead
of in my /home/larry/freevo directory.
Should I move these folders or try and transfer my media collection to these
folders. At the moment I don't seem to have permissions to copy files into
these folders as a normal user (larry).
When I run freevo I get the following terminal messages:
la...@wetland:~$ freevo
You are not part of the group 'freevo', you cannot exploit shared resources
(such as the cache). Your data will be saved in /home/larry/.freevo
Error: VIDEO_SHOW_DATA_DIR not found
ROM_DRIVES: Auto-detected and added "('/media/cdrom0', '/dev/scd0', 'CD-1')"
Error: can't find /home/larry/.freevo/static/TV.xml
Use xmltv to create this file or when you don't want to use the tv
module at all, add TV_CHANNELS = [] and plugin.remove('tv') to your
local_conf.py. TVguide is deactivated now.

I am mostly interested in the first two lines. Any help with my setup here?
My local_conf.py is mainly unchanged as yet.
Any tips for the mpd daemon? My music collection is an important part of the
htpc.
Cheers,
Larry
