[Freevo-users] Remove "Unknown" menu entry
Hello List, once I installed some plugins - but I can not remember what... Now I got within my menu one menu entry "Unknown" between TV and films. There is not anything within this menu entry. How can I remove this entry?

[Freevo-users] freevo 1.7.0, directfb and mplayer
Hello list,
I was just upgrading from freevo 1.6.0 to 1.7.0.
Since I use mplayer with directfb I got a rather long line
MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS =
':crtc2:spic:noinput:bes:tvnorm=pal:fieldparity=top'
But I realized, that it would not play videos any longer.
I realized, there was a change in mplayer.py:
--snip--
# Mplayer command and standard arguments
-command += [ '-v', '-vo', config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV +
- config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS ]
+command += [ '-v', '-vo', VODEV]
+command += VODEVOPTS.split(' ')
--snip--
This new building of the command string caused a whitespace in my
mplayer-command:
mplayer -vo dfbmga :crtc2
Thus the command would fail, since the command has to be
mplayer -vo dfbmga:crtc2
After changing this line back, it worked fine for me.
Kind regards
Cornelius

[Freevo-users] mplayer and svd's
Hello, found some of the old self-burned super video CDs and put them into my freevo box, which is running with directfb (matrox) and freevo 1.6.0. But when watching the films i get the problem, that the video is not fullscreen - since it is the PAL resoultion of 480x576 points. Any idea how to zoom these to fullscreen?

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo box over Compact Flash.
Hi,
to use pxe boot I installed and configured dhcp and tftp.
A dhcp.conf on my FC4 (server) would look like this
--snip--
#
# DHCP Server Configuration file.
# see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample
#
deny unknown-clients;
not authoritative;
option domain-name "az.local";
option domain-name-servers 172.16.200.10;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
allow bootp;
allow booting;
#option ip-forwarding false;
#option mask-supplier false;
subnet 172.16.200.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 {
}
group {
next-server 172.16.200.1; # Name of the tftp server
filename "pxelinux.0"; # Name of the bootloader program
option routers 172.16.200.10;
subnet 172.16.200.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
#range 172.16.200.20 172.16.200.30;
option time-servers schnuck;
option ntp-servers schnuck;
option nis-domain "az.local";
option nis-servers schnuck;
option tftp-server-name schnuck;
}
host wohnzimmer {
# Hier die Adresse des Wohnzimmer-PCs
hardware ethernet 00:30:1B:40:1E:A6;
fixed-address 172.16.200.20;
option root-path "/data/sata/wohnzimmer/ROOT";
option host-name "wohnzimmer" ;
}
}
--snip--
The "next-server" is the tftp server, that provides the pxelinux.0 and
also the file system for the freevo box.
My freevo box is the host "wohnzimmer" i.e. living room. The complete
distribution (FC5) is installed on the server in the directory
/data/sata/wohnzimmer/ROOT.
tftp is started via xinet:
--snip--
# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file
transfer \
# protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
# workstations, download configuration files to network-aware
printers, \
# and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol= udp
wait= yes
user= root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /data/sata/wohnzimmer/tftpboot
disable = no
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
}
--snip--
So in /data/sata/wohnzimmer/tftpboot there is the pxelinux.0
(bootloader), kernel image etc... and also
pxelinux.cfg/default, which is for me:
--snip--
default linux
label linux
# kernel vmlinuz-2.6.14.3-new
# kernel vmlinuz-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4
# kernel vmlinuz-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4
kernel vmlinuz-2.6.15.1
append root=/dev/nfs initrd=initrd-mein.img rw
nfsroot=172.16.200.1:/data/sata/wohnzimmer/ROOT,v4
ip=172.16.200.20:172.16.200.1:172.16.200.10:255.255.255.0:wohnzimmer:eth0:
video=dfdfbmga:vesa:0x183 vga=extended
--snip--
As you can see, I got also the TV connected via framebuffer directly to
sub15 of my matrox card :-)
Unfortunately I never managed to write any detailed howto...
Kind regards
Cornelius

Hi, unfortunately I do not have the answer. I am not running a lcd display but I think this is a neat idea. I think there are display to connect to the parallel port supported by lcdproc?

I saw it on my main machine. looks nice.
But I'd like to put it on my computer in the living room, that is

But I also would like to get freevo on the TV.
