Re: [Freevo-users] Black screen
Hi John, I have found the issue. When I upgraded my OS I lost hardware accelerated video. In my freevo.conf I had set XV output, when I changed that to the slower X11 it worked fine. I have since got my hardware accelerated video working again, so changing back to XV also works now.

I don't know where that might be off the top of my head. Duncan might
though.

I'm pretty sure there's an option in local_conf.py for the record file

Does it support watching as well as recording?

This could be affected by a number of factors, the stream itself, the skin used, maybe even the version of player used. Can you provide a link to the stream and we can test it?
