Re: [Freevo-users] DVD Playing
2009/9/15 Bernard Mentink bment...@gmail.com: On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 12:33 PM, Bernard Mentink bment...@gmail.com Ok, looks like I didn't wait long enough for the drive name to appear, it works fine. However, I would still like to know if better VLC support is coming, If I set VLC to be the preferred player, It works, but I don't get any pause or OSD, do I need kaa.display for this? mplayer works fine without kaa.display. (By the way how do I install kaa.display? It is not in the repositories for ArchLinux, do I have to get it from SVN? If so how do I set it up.) I am using VLC for TV viewing as it gives me much better results, and pause via the remote does not work on mplayer with livepause. I would like to use VLC for DVD playback, but it seems I can't just have it for DVD's but have to have it as the default video player .. Hope someone can shed some light on this issue .. Thanks, Bernie Basicly, VLC is not as well integrated in to freevo as either Mplayer or Xine. Personally I find that XIne is the better DVD player and Mplayer has the best video format support and TVTime, while it does not have livepause yet, is teh best for watching TV. That is just me I run a Slackware box. As for Kass.display, I don't see it being much help for you with VLC, it does not have vlc support yet to my knowledge. The kaa.display support for mplayer is progressing but at the moment is not very good. Evan -- Come build with us!

After the upgrade, I poked around and the recordserver seemed to work. Then it was time to get to bed. So cancel emergency... recordserver is working, playback is good... just have minor issues to sort like TV viewing, but we don't use the Freevo to watch TV normally, so that's not a real priority.

Re: [Freevo-users] can't get pvr150/ivtv to work
Hi, * Evan Hisey ehi...@gmail.com [15.09.2009]: You appear to be missing a loarge chunk of TV specific settings that are need for any of the TV stuff to work. try setting the following: TV_SETTINGS ='ntsc television us-cable /dev/video0' TV_DRIVER = 'v4l' Sometimes TV apps gets cranky with v4l2, but that is getting fixed in the apps. I added these missing settings but the problem remains unchangend. Cheers, Steph. -- Come build with us!

Re: [Freevo-users] can't get pvr150/ivtv to work
Hi, * Peter Colton mailing-l...@colton.me.uk [15.09.2009]: Check out the link below for a thread on the topic: xine tv - problem with liverecord and channel change http://www.mail-archive.com/freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg19088.html All so have a look at the Requirements for tv.ivtv_xine_tv freevo plugins -i tv.ivtv_xine_tv Requirements: = The following software must be installed: - ivtv driver (for e.g. Haupage x50 series TV card) version ivtv: = 0.10.6 - xine media player (built with xvmc / xxmc if available) version xine-lib: = 1.1.9 version xine-ui: = 0.99.6 This is kernel 2.6.26 in debian lenny. If the list at http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/ is correct, this should mean that the ivtv driver version is okay. Or from: dpkg -l | grep xine ii xine-ui 0.99.5+cvs20070914-2.1~lenny2 I am running debian lenny and all I could get from the plugin: tv.ivtv_xine_tv Was a blank screen. I think the issue is with the version thats on Debian lenny not being xine-ui: = 0.99.6?? yes, same problem here. So I moved back to: tv.mplayer yes, this is an option, but the main reason for buying the pvr150 was to get live pause. So I really need to use xine I guess. My previous setup with an older version of freevo used mplayer and worked great. I hope I get this fixed. So I will first try an update to squeeze (also contains now freevo 1.9) and see how things look there and if that doesn't help try to compile a more recent version of xine. Or is there a way to get livepause with the pvr150 and mplayer? Cheers, Steph. -- Come build with us!

[Freevo-users] video.xine.py issues
Hi All, I am trying to use xine for all media, including TV and DVD. Xine works great for livepause TV, it pauses and seeks just fine. However DVD playback and TV recording playback which I guess uses video.xine.py plugin does not pause or seek, it doesn't seem to respond to any events except play/stop. Does anyone have a better video.xine.py that has these events implemented. Is there maybe a tv.xine.py or other plugin that has events that do work ... and then can I simply modify that file to add the extra event support? I have been browsing the plugin directory and notice as well as *.py files there are also *.pyc files, what are these files? Many thanks, Bernie -- Come build with us!
