Re: [Freevo-users] ivtvdev PAL

[Bart Heremans]

I'm using a pvr250, so no tv-out but also had problems when recording.
Freevo sets the wrong format.

it is the setfmt and setstd function in src/tv/v4l2.py that causes the
problem. It always sets to ntsc even if you want pal. I didn't do much
debugging. I commented the lines (set std line 236 and setfmt line 253).

make sure that you set the format (720x576) and std (pal) when you load
the ivtv modules and you should have no problem.

I attached the file I changed, I hope this is the only file I changed. I
did this more than a year ago and don't remeber it to well.

Regards,

Bart

Re: [Freevo-users] shift tv

[Bart Heremans]

I don't think that the time shift functions with mp1e works. It was something
that worked in freevo 1.3 IIRC but not any more.

Browse trought the mplayer tv plugin code, I don't think there is any time
shift code in it.

Re: [Freevo-users] Real - Time TV

[Bart Heremans]

I replied yesterday but I don't see the message on the list, here
again :

I guess you are using anlogue tv card. the mplayer tv plugin is loaded
by default. If you wan't to use the tvtime plugin, you have to remove it
and load the tvtime plugin, see the wiki, tv plugins how to do that.

To see what command freevo is launching when hitting enter you have to
enable debug and debug for childapps. See the wiki, troublshooting

Re: [Freevo-users] Real - Time TV

[Bart Heremans]

Yes freevo can show realtime tv, first make sure mplayer or tvtime is
working.
Then load the right plugin go to the tv guide and pres enter on a show
that is running.

Don't forget to read the wiki for more detailed info

Re: [Freevo-users] Recording automatically from favourites

[Bart Heremans]

If you don't use the 'freevo tv_grab' helper to grab your xmltv file you
have to run the 'freevo schedulefavorites' to schedlue your favorite
recordings after you grab the xmltv file.

see :

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo and VCR_CMD script support

[Bart Heremans]

If the VCR_CMD is recording fine minus the audio. Then you can use it
and use VCR_PRE_REC and VCR_POST_REC scripts for the sound, that way you
won't have problems stopping a recording when it is busy, you will when
you use a shell script for recording. see :

http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/AnalogueTvTypes#head-8bb79382018da02017296f63f8129d52c5fcf990

Also check that you don't have multiples local_conf.py files
(~/local_conf.py - /etc/freevo/local_conf.py)

for info, you can start playing the second part directly by selecting the

Look in the freevo_config.py, xine section. freevo will use fbxine if you
set display to mga or fbdev.

Youc an overide settings in local_conf if you use something like this :

XINE_COMMAND = '%s --hide-gui -pq -g -B --geometry %sx%s+0+0 --no-splash'
% \
(CONF.fbxine, CONF.width, CONF.height)

=> CONF.fbxine is important (I bet you have CONF.xine)

freevo can use mplayer with framebuffer but I had a lot of trouble setting
up freevo and mplayer with drectfb and switched to X.

I'm now at home and will install freevo 1.5.2 on my desktop where I can
test some stuff. (I don't want to touch my stable freevo box)

If you are sure gphoto is broken, I think you should delete the info
from the old wiki and add info to the new wiki that it is broken (like
the movie.imdb plugin).

Good idee, I'll add some info and a link on the main configuration page
to the main plugin page.

no problem, like i said on irc some days ago, my English is far from
perfect, so everyone is invited to read the info and correct typos,
change the structure, change my vocabulary ...

[Freevo-users] info needed for new wiki : usb-storoage - gphoto plugin

[Bart Heremans]

In the old wiki there is not much left to port. But usb configuration / plugin
isn't verry clear for me (a never used it).

The pages in the old wiki are :

general setup, mounting usb devices : 
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/DocumentationPage

and the old pluginpage :

http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/DocumentationPage_2fPluginInfo

A think we could make a section USB plugin in the general plugin page in
the new wike for the usb plugin : 
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/GeneralPlugins

and section gphoto plugin in the image plugin section : 
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/ImagePlugins

And mabe a little info in the configuration page that links to this two pages
: http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/Configuration

If you read the info about the usb plugin it says something about image.camera
plugin (but it doesn't existe anymore) see this message : 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=7116292

So if any user is using the usb / usb.storage or image.gphoto plugin. Could
you mail some info and config example to this list, then I can add it to
the wiki (you may always add it yourselff to the wiki :-)

Bart

Re: [Freevo-users] Recordserver crashed with

[Bart Heremans]

1) First add DEBUG=1 to local_conf.py
2) Can you watch tv with => mplayer tv:// (and some options)
3) can you watch tv with freevo (take a show in the tvguide that is
currently running, else freevo will try to schedule it)
4) try to record manually, cut and paste the record command from the
logfile to a terminal, errors when you run this ? :

mencoder tv:// -tv

first time I setup freevo I forgot to compile mplayer without v4l / v4l2
driver support ...

Check TV_RECORD_DIR and OVERLAY_DIR in local_conf.py.

Do they exist and does the user running freevo has acces to it ?

RE: [Freevo-users] Getting DVD covers from Web.

[Bart Heremans]

You don't have to recompile anything.
But sometimes you need to delete the pyo python file => fxdimdb.pyo

RE: [Freevo-users] Getting DVD covers from Web.

[Bart Heremans]

Here the instructions for Gentoo.
It is possible that freevo isn't installed in the same dir for your distro...

open command line :

cd /tmp
wget http://www.supermotard.be/bart/fxdimdb.patch
cd /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo
su
patch -p1 < /tmp/fxdimdb.patch


Thats it.
You should see some messages with offset when you patch because the patch
was for cvs but it should work. Haven't tested it myself yet !

To test the patch without patching you can always try

patch --dry-run -p1 < /tmp/fxdimdb.patch

Or you could wait until freevo 1.5.3 is out :

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=10366317
or replace the fxdimdb.py file by anoter file that is already patched by
someone else.

Try disabling the tv, image and other plugins that you don't need. There
is a setting for auto open the item if tehre is only one. so if the
video entry is the only on I - think - it will open it at start

I'm using one with Chris Kennedys IVTV patches

Thanks, maybe I will use another driver if I find one that works well
with 2.6 kernel, 0.1.9 won't compile

And another question, is it possible with the video groups to use more
than one tuner, a searched the mailing list but don't really know how to
set it up. there are three tuners in the pc

1) dvb-s haupage nexus
2) pvr350
3) bttv

didn't really try more than one at the moment because I'm already stuck
with the pvr350. (I got in wortking some months ago in my pc, now it is
in my brothers). the bttv card was working well alone, never used the
dbv-s card with freevo.

[Freevo-users] IVTV-record bugs and problems

[Bart Heremans]

Hi,

I'm trying to set freevo with a pvr350 card using the IVTV record
plugin.

DEBUG=1 is set in the local_config.
I'm using the freevo and mmpython cvs version on gentoo. python 2.3.3

This is the first error I get when using the ivtv record plugin :

2004/07/06 18:25 CEST [*RecordServer*]


in v4l2.py there are some print statements and I get a Unidecode error
when setting these ptint statements in comment I can go on.

The second problem is NTSC <=> PAL.
I am a pal user, ivtv driver is installed correctly I can capture
without problems when I do cat /dev/video1 > somefile.mpg The result is
a 720x576 mpeg file with sound. 

My pvr350 card is /dev/video1, /dev/video0 is a from the dvb card that
isn't configured in freevo at the moment.

When capturing with freevo I get a 720x480 mpeg file.
This are some lines from my local_config file

--
TV_REC_SIZE = (720, 576)

TV_RECORD_DIR = '/usr/local/freevo/record'
TV_RECORDFILE_MASK = '%%m-%%d %%Hh%%M %(progname)s'

TV_SETTINGS = 'PAL 4 europe-east /dev/video1'

IVTV_OPTIONS = {

}

VIDEO_GROUPS = [
  VideoGroup(vdev="/dev/video1",
adev=None,
input_num=4,
tuner_norm=CONF.tv,
tuner_chanlist=CONF.chanlist,
desc='Cable',
group_type="ivtv",
recordable=True),
  ]
-

When looking at the kernel messages I see the ivtv size changes when
recording with freevo. I added an extra print statement to see that the
vnorm the recordserver gets is PAL, here is the recordserver log file :

Re: [Freevo-users] Setting startup directories

[Bart Heremans]

You can change it in the local_conf.py file, see the wiki

http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/DocumentationPage#head-6f6270ed4c01720096d5fdfc87618613e86099f6

but wiki is not up to date, 

DIR_MOVIES has changed to VIDEO_ITEMS
DIR_AUDIO has changed to AUDIO_ITEMS

I have a via motherboard to, I also had problems so I modified the
record script to use it with alsa. You will find the script in the
freevo wiki

http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/RecordingInfo

Problem with oss script was that mute and capture wasn't set correctly

Re: [Freevo-users] Looking for a good script for recording + sound

[Bart Heremans]

Hi,

I had the same problem like you, sound when capturing but not when I
played the file after it was captured.
I had the same problems with the tvrecord script posted in freevo wiki.

When I use alsamixer I have to set CD to capture (no line in inside my
pc, only cd in, so I use that) and I have to activate with the alsamixer
the capture.

WHen I start freevo and I play some files and I look with alsamixer the
line is muted and set to nul (but i use cd so no problem so far, but I
problem for you) and the capture is deactivated. The tvrecord script in
the wiki wil unmute tv line and set it to capture but will not activate
the capture control.

THe tvrecord uses smixer, I can't activate the capture control with
smixer So I have a modified script that uses amixer, here it is :

cut---
#!/bin/bash
 
# use with this VCR_CMD:
# VCR_CMD = ('/usr/local/freevo_data/tvrecord/tvrecord %(channel)s
%(seconds)s "%(filename)s"')
 
CHAN=$1
TIME=$2
NAME=$3
 
WIDTH=360
HEIGHT=288
 
MENCODER=/usr/bin/mencoder
AMIXER=/usr/bin/amixer
 
NICE="nice -n -20"
 
AUDIO="-oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=256:mode=0"
VIDEO="-ovc nuv -nuvopts q=255"
#VIDEO="-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1600"
DSP="adevice=/dev/sound/dsp"
TV=" -tv
driver=v4l:width=$WIDTH:height=$HEIGHT:outfmt=yuy2:input=0:device=/dev/v4l/video0:norm=PAL:chanlist=europe-west:channel=$CHAN:$DSP"
 
$AMIXER -q sset CD 87% mute
$AMIXER -q sset Capture 87%
$AMIXER -q cset numid=30 1  # select capture source, 30 is capture source
control, 1 = cd (4 = line)
$AMIXER -q cset numid=31 1  # set capture source switch to 1 (= on)
$NICE $MENCODER tv:// $TV $VIDEO $AUDIO -endpos $TIME -o "$NAME.nuv"
#$NICE $MENCODER tv:// $TV $VIDEO $AUDIO -endpos $TIME -ffourcc divx -o 
"$NAME.avi"
cut-


I'm using nuv for recording (epia not to powerfull), other example is
commented.

You have to change the script for your card.

numid=30 is the mixersource for my soundcard, 'ceset numdid=30 1 ' is to
select the cd as capture source (0 = mic, 1 = cd, 4 = line) 
and numid=31 is the capture switch

run "amixer controls" to get the numid's
run "amixer cset numid=30" to get the capture source items (change
numid=30 with yor capture source), I think you will take 4, the line in
so 'amixer cset numid=30 4' to select line in as capture

I hope you will understand it.

Re: [Freevo-users] small blue bar when playing video

[Bart Heremans]

Jaap,

I think this is a problem with the tvout on a epia board (not epia-m). I had
the same problem on my Epia 800 but I use a epiaM now that has another and
much better tvout
OVERSCAN setting in local_config is for the freevo menu, not when playing
the movie.

You can read here about the magneta stripe :
http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/EPIAVidix.shtml, you will find other
tools for the vt1621 tv encoder on the epia to.

Try to use a recent mplayer and the vidix driver (also has best performance
for epia)

Re: [Freevo-users] Re: Silent DVD drive for my Freevo box

[Bart Heremans]

Today I tested my Nec ND1300A (DVD+- RW) in my freevo box and it slows down
with hdparm when watching divx and dvd movies.
It sounds silent but I should get a psu fan that is more silent because it
makes a lot more noise than the dvd-rom. (via sereniti 2000 with standard
psu)

Re: [Freevo-users] Silent DVD drive for my Freevo box

[Bart Heremans]

I have an old liteon drive that makes a lot of noise at full speed.
If I use hdparm to slow down it only runs slow when watching a cd (divx or
audio on cd) but not when using a dvd rom movie, strange.

I think I will buy a cheap dvd writer (nec ND1100, DVD+RW or nec ND1300,
DVD+-RW) anybody knows if this driwe will slow down when watching dvd-roms
?

A already have a nec 1300 in my windows machine but not much time now to
swap in to my freevo box for testing but if noboddy knows I will test it
before buying one.

Re: [Freevo-users] Via's EPIA-M and Freevo

[Bart Heremans]

I will say it like this : You won't be able to play anything with player or
xine on the pvr-350 tvout. there are no plugins yet.

If you wan't to playa a mpeg 2 stream you can feed the mpeg 2 encoder like
this :
dd if=/dev/video0 of=/dev/video16 bs=32k (or something like that, don't
remember it exactly)

/dev/video0 = viedeo tuner
/dev/video16 = mpeg encoder

But
mplayer file.mpeg -vo /dev/video16 or something like that won't work. and
without the encoder all files are extremly slow.

Re: [Freevo-users] Via's EPIA-M and Freevo

[Bart Heremans]

I have a epia M and a PVR350.
I have been able to run X over the framebuffer driver for the pvr350 and
load freevo. But If try loading a divx or other file and output it with
mplayer ont the pvr350 it is very very slow.

If you want to watch tv you have to switch the local and global lpha values
(mythtv does this automatic).

I'm using the epiaM tv output for freevo right now. The pvr350 tv out is
better but I didn't solve my problem for watching divx and other files.

>Hi all,

Does anyone have a suggestion for the best wireless gamepad to use with freevo

control and for playing games.  

I currently have an intel wireless gamepad (I think

in linux.  It works great in windows but apparently the joystick driver was
some elaborate sort of conversion program to get whatever they made to work
with normal joystick stuf

So before I go buy another one I'd like to hear someone say that actually
got it to work and are happy with the results.

Thanks

Re: [Freevo-users] TVtime / R128AIW ?s

[Bart Heremans]

Hi,

with default settings freevo uses mplayer to watch tv, check your
local_conf.py file. And deactivate the tvtime plugin so it will use mplayer.
If you see this in your config file :

plugin.remove('tv.mplayer')
plugin.activate('tv.tvtime')

then remove this 2 lines

Hi,

Just for info, you can't add a cdrom and a pvr-350 card at same time in a

[Freevo-users] using nuvrec

[Bart Heremans]

Hi,

I did setup freevo succesfully to record. But I have problems recording to
divx/avi because my pc isn't powerfull enough. I have installed nuvrec and I
can record to nuv files in great quality and have enough power  (but files
are +- 5 times larger then divx).

I would like to change my vcr command to use nuvrec but the problem is that
nuvrec can't use the cannel ID but needs the channel frequency. Is there a
way to use get the frequency and not the channel ID in the local_config
file. I know freevo has a file with all info (tv/freq.py) but I don't know
how to use it exactly.

Once I have setup freevo to record with nuvrec I want to write a plugin that
encodes the nuvfiles to divx with mencoder.

Bart

Re: [Freevo-users] memory card reader

[Bart Heremans]

Hi,

You will need some modules from the kernel.

USB modules
MSdos / VFAT file system modules
SCSI + SCSI Generic modules

you have to load the modules then insert the usb card reader and it will
porbably be mapped at /dev/sda (and others if it is a multi card reader)

Create a mount point an then you could mount /dev/sda1 to the mont point.

I'm sure that you find detailed procedures with google.

Re: [Freevo-users] MPlayer OSD and subs sizes

[Bart heremans]

Hi,

Some Mplayer options that are usefull for your problems :

-subfont-text-scale <0-100>
Sets  the subtitle text autoscale coefficient (percentage of the
screen size) (default: 5).
-subpos <0-100> (useful with -vop expand)
Specify the position of subtitles on the screen.  The  value  is
the vertical position of the subtitle in % of the screen height.

-subalign <0-2>
Specify how subtitles should be aligned with  subpos.   0  means
align  at top (original/default behavior), 1 means align at cen-
ter, and 2 means align at bottom.
-subwidth <10-100>
Specify the maximum width of subtitles on  the  screen.   Useful
for  TV-out.  The value is the width of the subtitle in % of the
screen width.

Hi,

in the config there is somewhere an option to play encrypted dvd's or not. I
thaught it was an option for mplayer but maybe you have to change it for
xine to.

Fw: [Freevo-users] onboard video performance

[Bart Heremans]

3d isn't so important for dvd/divx, playback.
A mini-itx M9000 or M1 will do fine for these tasks. I'm using a m9000
and have no problems , and I'm not using the onboard mpeg2 decoder (yet)

I'm getting rid of my mini-itx system and looking for micro-atx/flex atx
type system. I noticed some of the boards have onboard video such as VIA
Savage 8 and Intel Extreme Graphics engine. I have heard that 2d performance
is decent for most of these, but 3D is extremely poor. For playing DVD's,
divx movies, and TV playback, how important is 3D. I really don't know what
difference is between 2d and 3d.

Re: [Freevo-users] Subtitle in different file

[Bart heremans]

I don't know if someone is working on subtitle selection for video files but
you could use an fxd file if you have multitple subtitles files for one
movie (divx or other) file.

For DVD's : You can choose subtitles when watching DVD's.
If you are using mplayer there are some options in the local_config.py file
for languages and subtitles :

DVD_LANG_PREF= 'en,se,no'  # Order of preferred languages on
DVD.
DVD_SUBTITLE_PREF= 'nl,en,fr'  # Order of preferred
subtitles on DVD.

When playing the dvd with mplayer in freevo you could also press the freevo
menu button and select another audio/subtitle track.

If you are using xine to play dvd's (menu support) you could go to the dvd
menu and select the subtitle (if there is a dvd menu). Xine also uses . to
jump to the next subtitle track (see xine help for more buttons).

I've been playing around with different motherboards. The via EPIA
motherboard I have doesn't seem to have good video drivers, and is
expensive, so I'm thinking of switching to Microatx and using Celeron or
Duron CPU.

MB I'm looking at is Asus A7N8X-VM This board has integrated LAN/Audio and
Geforce 4 integrated. It is also supposed to have tvencoder, but board
doesn't seem to come with AV out for it. I'm wondering if anyone knows of
some other boards.

Re: [Freevo-users] PSU in mini-itx cases

[Bart heremans]

Hi Paul,

I'm using a self made box for my EpiaM and noticed that the harddisk is
genrating interference when close to the tv tuner card. I tested with the
harddisk out the box (long cables) and the signal was much better. SO I'm
waiting till that eve case gets out. I have an epia800 in a cubid case to
and know the harddisk is verry close to the pci cards in those cases. SO
that could be your problem. You shoud test once with the harddisk out the
case or with a big atx case ;-) I'm waiting till that eve case finally gets
available

Re: [Freevo-users] Dual Booting Conundrum

[Bart heremans]

To answer some of your questions.
Yes you can choose the runlevel at boottime in linux. In grub you can add
the parameter init=4 (or other level of course) to boot your own custom boot
level.

Re: [Freevo-users] Re: pygame 1.5.6 and freevo dont seem to mix

[Bart Heremans]

I tried to install freevo also on gentoo / xbox with pygame 1.5.6 and had
the same error.
After downgrading pygame to 1.5.5 I have the following error :

Pygame Parachute Traceback:
  File "src/osd.py", line 1334, in _getfont
Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
./freevo: line 86: 22253 Aborted ./runapp python src/main.py

after that I downloaded and installed the runtime :-) problem solved :-)

Re: [Freevo-users] Subtitle and mplayer

[Bart heremans]

if you have a move.

MyMovie.avi and a subtitle MyMovie.srt or MyMovie.sub , ... mplayer will
play the subtitles. So if the move and subtitle have the same name you won't
have to write an fxd file just to play the subtitles.
