Hmm, what bit of configuration do you need to borrow, setting up the PVR-350 to work with FreeBSD or configuring freevo to use the card? Can't help with the first one but would be interested in hearing reports about FreeBSD problems in Freevo. The second one is easy if you are using a recent(ish) version of Freevo. Simply type "freevo vg" and copy the output to the local_conf.py. Duncan -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.

A better solution would be to run the "freevo convert_config" on your local_conf.py as this change should have been automatically picked up. If not let us know. What mailer are you using, as the text version has single long lines for a paragraph? If this is thunderbird then the pressing shift key when clicking write or reply all forces the message to text format. Duncan -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.

To see the changes, simply run: freevo convert_config /path/to/local_conf.py To update the changes if there are any, run: freevo convert_config /path/to/local_conf.py -w If there are none then you can use the above line, it should update the config version number or update it with an editor. Sorry I didn't respond earlier, I thought that this was an empty message. Better to replay again and copy the text from the duff message. This way keeps the message chain.

If you are able then you might need to debug this problem as it may be specific to your set-up. Duncan -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.

I'm not sure that you are doing this the correct way. Recording to a USB stick can be a bad idea as the transfer rate to the stick may not be high enough or reliable. Another way to do this is to use shoppingcart plug-in and move recorded programs from the hard disk to the usb stick. Of course, it may help to reencode the video to a different format first.

You can run freevo convert_favorites /path/to/old-record_schedule.xml Should do the trick. If the schedule of the favuorites get corrupted then there is a tool in svn to rebuild the favourites from the text file. Duncan -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
