Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo-1.8.2 can't launch Generic Games

Basically the game menu has a launching program with a list of games that can be launched from it (designed I'm guesing for game emulators). So if you want to launch just a game you need to trick it into opening a game file. The [ 'tux' ] part of the argument tells Freevo to look for files with the extension .tux Hope I'm right, and hope this helps Thanks, but this is exactly what I did, Anyway i've go a doubt: the file: /etc/freeov/games/tuxracer/tuxracer.tux is just an empty file, or a link to the game's executable? thanks again -- ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users

[Freevo-users] Freevo-1.8.2 can't launch Generic Games
Hi all,
i've configured freevo to show the games menu and according to the
guide, i've configured freevo to launch Tuxracer (and planning to
install g-compris and the new kde4 tuberling, which are the favourite
games of my 5 years old daughter)
I've got a strange behaviour:
in local_conf.py i have:
GAMES_ITEMS = [
('Tux Racer', '/etc/freevo/games/tuxracer/',
('GENERIC', '/usr/games/bin/etracer', '', '', [ 'tux' ] ))
]
and:
htpc freevo # ls -l /etc/freevo/games/tuxracer/*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 31 16:19
/etc/freevo/games/tuxracer/tuxracer.tux
When i launch freevo, i've got the games menu, listing Tux Racer, but
when i select this item, freevo just enter in a new empty directory
(This directory ie empty), without running the game.
the main.log doesn't not show any error or warning about the non-launch
of the game.
Really do't know how to handle this, after one day of tweaking with
freevo configuration

Re: [Freevo-users] lirc : irw say nothing .
Sorry, you're right. irw listen to /dev/lircd which is a socket created by the lirc daemon from man irw: irw will connect to any Unix domain socket and will print the data that it receives to stdout. If you don't give it a socket name argument it will watch /dev/lircd. Useful for debugging. Then /dev/lirc is not always a directory. It's distro dependent. On my gentoo box: ls -l /dev/lirc* htpc dev # ls -l lirc* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Sep 1 17:19 lirc - lirc0 crw-rw 1 root root 61, 0 Sep 1 17:19 lirc0 crw-rw 1 root root 61, 1 Sep 1 17:19 lirc1 srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Sep 1 17:19 lircd srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Sep 1 17:19 lircd1 prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 1 18:29 lircm by Andreas Dick wrote: irw listen events on /dev/lirc, so you need a symbolic link /dev/lircd/0 called /dev/lirc, or you could use: irw -d /dev/lirc/0 NO! irw do not listen to /dev/lirc, it uses a allready running lircd daemon. (and a symlink is not possible because /dev/lirc is a directory!) next you should have a propper lircd.conf file, maybe you find one for your remote in your distro or even at http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/ else you have to train your remote (I think this is allways better) $ irrecord -d /dev/lirc/0 lircd.conf this sould generate you a valid lircd.conf file (sometimes its then called lircd.conf.conf) then try to start the lircd daemon in nodaemon mode: $ lircd -n -d /dev/lirc/0 lircd.conf you see now the output of lircd try to run now irw in annother terminal $ irw then you can copy your valid lircd.conf to /etc/ or to /etc/lirc, and try to start the daemon in the distros way: $ /etc/init.d/lircd start (or similar) if this works, your remot is up at every reboot. its a long way, but it is hard to install a general setup such that every remote out there would work plug n play :-) Andreas by Alberto Hernando wrote: El Martes, 2 de Septiembre de 2008 01:42, [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: [EMAIL PROTECTED] patrick]# ircat --config=/etc/freevo/lircrc freevo freevo: could not connect to socket freevo: Connection refused [EMAIL PROTECTED] patrick]# Hi.

Hi all, i'm using freevo on gentoo from portage 1.7.6. Everything works, but i was trying to use two different lirc device.

[Freevo-users] Video playing inside freevo
Hi all, i was wondering if it was possible to have a sort of preview of video files (or video device like /dev/video0) or any other accesible video source (thinking of embedding skype movie window), on the right side of the screen. This video-in-freevo should play when you select a menu item on the freevo screen Is it possible in the current freevo architecture ( 2.0) , or is it better choosing the new architecture for such a work?
