Re: [Freevo-users] mpv vs. mplayer

[Dan Schmidt]

I've not heard of anybody getting Freevo working on any newer Linux
version.  I suggest you search out another project, Freevo is no longer
active.

 Thanks Liz,

 Dan, I have my freevo 1,9 running on a ubuntu 12.04 x32. (on a Physical
 machine) (3Gb ram)

 I only use this features:
 - Browse movies, (you-tube and apple Trailers works, but since i
 have a smart tv they are almost dead)
 - Browse music, Album-tree, web-radio
 - Browse photos (I miss a photo tag browser, something as Album-tree)
 - News (since I have a smartphone I do not use it)
 - Commands (very, very useful)
 - Games  Emulators (love them)
 - (joystick support works)
 . (I've never had a TV card, so I don't know if TV-plugin works)

 I also run on this machine:
 - Rygel (for DLNA media spreading on my lan)
 - Transmission
 - SSH
 - Remote Desktop

 I tryed to setup a freevo2 on a virtual machine, but I couldn't get it
 to work.
 I know this system is more than 2 years old but this machine has a lots
 of hours on configuration and it works.

 ¿has anybody a freevo 1.9 on an later system? I know that some day I'll
 also have to upgrade my system too.

 Best regards.

 Hi all,

 I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade my freevo box to Ubuntu

 Unfortunately navigating through menus has sporadic issues resulting in

 I have already upgraded to the git version of Kaa but to no avail.

 Does anyone recognize this issue and know how to fix it?

Re: [Freevo-users] The future of Freevo(.org)

I'm not sure why Freevo wasn't more popular.  Python makes
modification easy, even if you aren't a programmer.

I still prefer to launch my favorite media centers from Freevo 1.  I
regret that I never did get around to working on the wiki.  Thanks to
all who put so much work into it.

 Hi,

 this is an answer to all the mails regarding this subject on the lists.

 Thanks for the mails to show that there are still people using Freevo.
 Besides DLNA und XBMC, Freevo is still a good compromise between simple
 and usefull.

 Keep using Freevo, maybe send patches :) I may have not enough time for
 Freevo hacking, expressially stuff I do not need, but I have time to
 accept patches.

 Regarding Freevo 2.0, I know that it lacks documentation and why should
 you change from 1.x if your current setup is working. Well, I cannot
 answer that :) Just try it out. It works great for me.

 Freevo.org has moved to a different server using other websites as well.
 The php stuff is now replaced be static pages, the Wiki is saved as
 static pages as well. I have a backup of the SVN, the Wiki source and
 the old homepage. So nothing is lost ... well except the 2.0 Wiki which
 was too outdated and more a confusion that real help.

 My mail wasn't a good bye :) It is only a facing-the-facts. The project
 is not dead, it is only sleeping.

 It's screwed to the back of the multi-input monitor (usually called a

Re: [Freevo-users] How should Freevo 2.0 look like?

[Dan Schmidt]

Apologies, I can't design either!  However, you could steal some ideas
from Hulu or Boxee.  Boxee has a pretty interface, if not terribly
usable, and Hulu has an easy interface, if not terribly pretty.  

Ease of installation is paramount - if it isn't easy, people won't use
it, they'll instead try to install the a convoluted, sql based program
called MythTV which has a much larger following.

 So again, I ask for help:

 1. I need some large background images. Should they be dark? Blue?
 Special images for video/audio/image? If we use special images, nly in
 the main menu? Please search the net, your photo collection or whatever
 to provide me with images. Please make sure the images can be used in
 Freevo (e.g. CC licence) and do not copy images from XBMC, etc.

 2. How to layout the menu? Special movie/tv related backgrounds? Special
 images? Freevo could auto-hook into thetvdb and themoviedb to download
 these images and additional information. Please give me a fake
 screenshot so I can code the stuff.

 This is a big show-stopper for Freevo 2.0. Right now it looks ugly
 because I just used some old images and ideas to changed them to test
 different layouts. Without help, there will be no 2.0 :(

It told me I did indeed need to have a newer kaa and I was unable to
find a way around it.  And, I'm a bit afraid to update kaa.  Higher
on my priority list is to work on the wiki but I hope to someday

next I am sick, I will try to update the wiki with some more
pointers for newbies.

To fix, you'll need to rm -rf the following directories:

   1. build/

   2. /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/kaa/


Once you delete #2, you'll need to reinstall all the kaa

sub-modules you use.

  
  
  I have to admit to not having tried to do this, but I don't think
  you should need to upgrade kaa to run the svn version (although I

 You can look at openbricks.org
 There is already a package with freevo 1.9.0 , dvbstreamer
 and a (very) small script to configure it.
 I can provide a config file to build it.
 You can have a small live usb with freevo and it's easy to test

Don't need flash-aid, just do this:

wget http://updates.webgapps.org/flashplayer32  tar xvf *flash*
libflashplayer.so

Set 'flash_location =' in .huludesktop.  (maybe even a bash script to
switch between the two)  Then, do this:

cat /etc/adobe/mms.cfg | sed '/EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1/d' | sudo tee
/etc/adobe/mms.cfg

And see if things improve.  Let me know if you notice any stability
issues.   yes, I WILL get this up on the wiki someday soon. 

On a side rant, Boxee runs terribly for me; I hope they continue to
develop huludesktop.  If hulu wants people to stop using rtmpdump, they
will have much more luck by offering huludesktop than relying on flash
to create more complicated SWFverification.

 I'll try to get to it if I can.  Things have picked up this week so it
 might be next week.

 Cpufreq-set doesn't seem to work on my pentium 4.  Are you over clocking
 your processer?
 Not overclocking.  Not all CPUs are scalable.  It depends on the CPU
 and the Linux driver for it.  Try the following:

 cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies

 If you get nothing or just one frequency, it probably won't scale.
 Sometimes there is a setting in the BIOS to enable it, but again it
 may just not be capable.  My main, server/freevo box has an AMD Athlon
 x2 and it can scale.  The freevo box in my bedroom is a P4 generation
 Celeron and it cannot scale.

 I don't scale mine above the max frequency it is capable of.  Really,
 the who purpose of not running it "full speed" all the time is that
 probably 70-90% of the day, it is sitting more or less idle.  I scale
 it down to 1 Ghz (from 3 Ghz) to save on power and make it easier to
 keep cool.

 A couple more tips:

 1.  Flashaid.  The results were noticeably better.
 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-aid/
 I might have to check into that.  I don't really have a desktop per se
 on that pc, nor do I have firefox (I launch things in Chrome, if
 needed) but I might try it out.  Overall though, with the processor
 running at full speed, and hardware acceleration turned off, Flash
 generally seems to work fine.

 2.  Volume

 I like the sound up all the way when I launch hulu.  Turn up the sound
 on the remote or with alsamixer, run '/sbin/alsactl -f asound.state
 store' to save the settings, then add a' /sbin/alsactl -f
 /home/freevo/asound.state restore' to your hulu startup script.  I'll

 (Which, granted, may be the present)

 Another good trick.  Hulu generally is more or less the same as most
 of my video files I play through Freevo, so I haven't had much volume
 issues.  I pretty much keep my alsamixer volumes at around 85 and
 adjust the volume on the TV instead.

 On a side rant, I have to applaud Hulu for giving me a good legal way to
 use their site, and especially for doing so on Linux.  No longer need to
 resort to rtmpdump.

 Agreed.  There seems to be rumors that they may drop support since
 they have Hulu+ for set top boxes (Hulu Desktop came out first), but
 so far it has kept working.  I haven't seen an update in quite a while
 though, so that might indicate something.

Re: [Freevo-users] The future of Freevo 2.0

[Dan Schmidt]

If you can speak c++, you should have NO problem with python.  Even I
can program somewhat in python!  (NOT well, mind you) 

On a side note, I am in no rush to try 2, I fairly happy with Freevo 1. 
(For the life of me, I never could get dvbstreamer working nor svn, but
1.9 works for my needs)  And, my wife will kill me if I mess around
with that thing anymore.  Never tried XBMC but, if it's anything like
Boxee, it's nice, but it's not Freevo - it's cluttered, sluggish on my
old pentium4, and it doesn't record.  Using Freevo to launch Boxee or
Huludesktop is great, but not enough to make me want to get rid of Freevo. 

Truly would be a shame to see Freevo die.  I know I've said a couple
times before, but I really will get around to helping on the Wiki where
I can.  As I have said before, if Freevo were distributed as a live
distro that was easier to install (Maybe like piren was aiming to
be?), and didn't have to deal with lirc bugs (Ubuntu), I think more
people would use it.

 Anyone? If I have to do it myself, Freevo 2.0 will stay the way it is
 right now only with a changed GUI backend and some bugs fixed. That
 would be sad.

 I really want to help as I really like my freevo.  I'm a good C/C++ coder,
 can read Python, but no expert yet by any means.  I no nothing about
 Clutter.  I am however a quick study (so I'm told, :-) )  

 What documentation can I start reading to understand what I can do to help?

 I did manage to get freevo 2.0 installed and running from subversion.

 Thanks,

Re: [Freevo-users] Any one using hulu on freevo?

[Dan Schmidt]

Great price, I have to admit.  I suppose if you were familiar with it,
it would be a good idea.  I might suggest putting a howto on the wiki
for those who give up on lirc. 

Cpufreq-set doesn't seem to work on my pentium 4.  Are you over clocking
your processer? 

A couple more tips:

1.  Flashaid.  The results were noticeably better.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-aid/

Run the wizard, and it creates a bash script that removes flash,
installs the beta flash plugin, and sets some some stuff in
/etc/adobe/mms.cfg.  You have then reset your .huludesktop as
flash_location = /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so, but after
that, it definitely works better.  Alternately, you could just edit this
script it produced:

#!/bin/bash

sudo rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so
cd
/home/dan/.mozilla/firefox/ge2hn4w7.default/extensions/flash...@lovinglinux.megabyet.net/chrome/content/tmp
 rm -f *flash*  wget http://updates.webgapps.org/flashplayer32 
tar xvf *flash* libflashplayer.so  sudo chown root:root
libflashplayer.so  sudo chmod 0644 libflashplayer.so  sudo mv
libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/  rm -f *flash*  sudo ln
-s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/libflashplayer.so
TWEAK=$(cat /etc/adobe/mms.cfg | grep 'OverrideGPUValidation')
if test -z ${TWEAK};then
echo 'OverrideGPUValidation=true' | sudo tee -a /etc/adobe/mms.cfg
fi
cat /etc/adobe/mms.cfg | sed '/EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1/d' | sudo tee
/etc/adobe/mms.cfg

2.  Volume

I like the sound up all the way when I launch hulu.  Turn up the sound
on the remote or with alsamixer, run '/sbin/alsactl -f asound.state
store' to save the settings, then add a' /sbin/alsactl -f
/home/freevo/asound.state restore' to your hulu startup script.  I'll
add this to the wiki too, when I cease to find any further tweaks. 
(Which, granted, may be the present)

On a side rant, I have to applaud Hulu for giving me a good legal way to
use their site, and especially for doing so on Linux.  No longer need to
resort to rtmpdump.

 The remote I use, on linux, just emulates a USB keyboard and mouse.
 Most of the special keys like play, pause, fast forward, etc. are hard
 coded to be the keyboard shortcuts for Windows Media Center.  WMC and
 Xine share a lot of short cuts, but not all of them.  For the ones
 that weren't the same, I just got the keycode the remote sends and
 remapped it to the shortcut key Xine/Freevo expects.

 It vary likely isn't easier, but I had never used LIRC before and have
 used keyboards and key mapping before.  Although I am sure LIRC is
 nice to use, after spending a decent amount of time getting Freevo
 setup how I wanted it (right resolution, using nfs mounted dirs for
 TVs in other rooms, etc.) I got tired and just hacked up the remote
 with stuff I already knew and understood.

 It isn't something I would recommend, although if anyone has a similar
 remote or wants to get one, I am glad to share how I set it up if it
 would help out.  I actually just have a Logitech Harmony emulate the
 cheap $7 remote and use the USB/IR that came with the remote now.

Re: [Freevo-users] Any one using hulu on freevo?

[Dan Schmidt]

You did what instead of figuring out lirc?  That seems harder than using
lirc. 

Sure, I'll update the page after I play with it for a week.  I installed
unclutter and changed my script as such to fix the mouse showing up at
inopportune times:

/usr/bin/xrandr -s 640x480
/usr/bin/unclutter -visible -root -idle 1 -jitter 3 
/usr/bin/huludesktop
killall unclutter
/usr/bin/xrandr -s 800x600

Strange that you had to mess with xset.

 If I may offer what I have found:

 1.  Setting screen to 640x480 and setting the quality to low (look for

 (/etc/freevo/freevo.conf - didn't make any difference, freevo was too
 big!!), I wrote a quick script to launch it as such:

 /usr/bin/xrandr -s 640x480
 /usr/bin/huludesktop
 /usr/bin/xrandr -s 800x600

 2.  Finding the mythtv documentation, I got lirc working by adding the
 '-r' as follows:

 http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hulu_Desktop_Integration#LIRC_Configuration

 Followed, of course, by a service lirc restart.

 Reading the output from irw, I changed my remote type and my
 button_name_menu in /home/freevo/.huludesktop

 lirc_remote_identifier = Hauppauge_350
 button_name_menu = Go

 I have searched far and wide for documentation on how to add other
 buttons than the following six, but have found none.  If anybody has any
 tips, please send along.

 button_name_up = Up
 button_name_down = Down
 button_name_left = Left
 button_name_right = Right
 button_name_select = OK
 button_name_menu = Go

 Thanks again - great wiki article.  When I get a day off (eventually),
 I'll try to add a couple of my own.

 Those are some great ideas to add in.  I'll let you add them since you
 are probably more familiar with them then I am.  I run Freevo and Hulu
 at 1366x768, which is I'm sure the reason it gets choppy if I don't
 scale up the CPU.I also use this USB IR receiver:

 http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-USB-Remote-Control-Mouse/dp/B001M56DI0

 with a Logitech Harmony 300 programmed to emulate it.  It more or less
 just works like a keyboard, so I just had to remap a few keys to make
 it work.  Instead of figuring out lirc, I just setup a fix
 controller script that I have on my home screen of Freevo that
 executes the following:
 #!/bin/bash
 xmodmap -display :0 -e 'keycode 162 = u'
 xmodmap -display :0 -e 'keycode 153 = f'
 xmodmap -display :0 -e 'keycode 144 = r'
 xmodmap -display :0 -e 'keycode 176 = m'
 xmodmap -display :0 -e 'keycode 174 = n'
 xmodmap -display :0 -e 'keycode 160 = F3'
 xmodmap -display :0 -e 'keycode 164 = Escape'
 xset -display :0 -dpms
 xset -display :0 s off

 The last two turn off any screen savers since I was having the screen
 go out and not wake back up.  It probably isn't the most elegant way
 to do it, but I just have a big Initialize menu option at the start of
 Freevo and just have to run it if there is a reboot.  I tried putting
 it in as a startup script, but it seems to only work once Freevo is
 loaded, probably because it needs the display to be loaded and ready
 for the xmodmaps.

 Anyway, thanks for the input, glad you liked the HowTo.

Re: [Freevo-users] 403 Forbidden with youtube plugin

[Dan Schmidt]

Line 368 in mine, are you using an old youtube.py?

 Yes.
 Here's a quick'n'dirty solution :

 Edit the file FREEVO_INSTALL_DIR/video/plugins/youtube.py
 At line 218, change 
  cmd = config.YOUTUBE_DL +  '  -g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=' + arg[1] 
 + ''
 by
  cmd = config.YOUTUBE_DL + ' ' + config.YOUTUBE_DL_OPTS +  '  -g 
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=' + arg[1] + ''

 Then edit ~/.freevo/local_conf.py and add youtube plugin with options :
 YOUTUBE_DL = /usr/bin/youtube-dl
 YOUTUBE_DL_OPTS = --cookies /tmp/youtube.cookie
 YOUTUBE_VIDEOS = [
(A user, a description)
 ]

 Finally, you have to edit ~/.mplayer/config to set the cookie option :

 cookies=1
 cookies-file=/tmp/youtube.cookie

 Does it works for you ?

Re: [Freevo-users] don't work youtube plugin

I think it may just be a buffering problem, as the videos seem to play
fine in VLC.  Sometimes, the video in VLC freezes for a second.  Sorry
for the delay; I'll try to do some more research on it before I open
something on the tracker.  (I suppose I should at least try a bigger buffer)

 When you say 'Quits after 30 seconds' do you mean that it actually starts 
 playing video or is it still in the caching phase? Some idea of which 
 video are a problem would be useful in tracking this down and a log with 
 debug enabled would also be useful. In fact can you open a tracker entry 
 for this so we can track it...

 Thanks,

 This may be a silly suggestion, but have you tried checking in top? No 
 idea what spec your machine is but could it be that it is only just 
 capable of playing back the video and with the overhead of freevo it 
 can't quite cope, hence audio slipping out of sync?

 Another silly thing worth checking is are you running them both as the 
 same user? Could it be there are some different .mplayer settings that 
 are being used?

I'm glad to hear that was the case for you!  It was not the case for me;
if I did not know a small bit of python, I never would have gotten my
Freevo working.  Granted, I used Ubuntu.  Not to bash Ubuntu; it's great
for desktops, but they continually break things.  (broken lirc caused me
a lot of grief)
 Perhaps Debian would have been a better choice, but I'm not sure that
it wouldn't have had the same lirc bug.

 The only really hard issue I have seen with Freevo , and this true of

 most of that is system level issues, not Freevo issues. After that it
 has always been pretty easy.

 Certainly it has been attempted, as with FreevoLive, built on Mandrake

 The biggest difficulty with this sort of setup is the TV setup which
 needs to be individualised for small regions inside countries.
 If you can dream up a way of setting that and keeping it up to date you
 would be closer to solving the custom distro.

hard time.

 Certainly it has been attempted, as with FreevoLive, built on Mandrake
 or Mandriva (can't recall how far back it was).
 The biggest difficulty with this sort of setup is the TV setup which
 needs to be individualised for small regions inside countries.
 If you can dream up a way of setting that and keeping it up to date you
 would be closer to solving the custom distro.

Re: [Freevo-users] youtube unreferenced variable

[Dan Schmidt]

Thanks John, great idea.  And, thank Adam for fixing the youtube plugin! 
(Sry for late reply, rarely get opportunity to mess with Freevo)

One note for others:

Previously, a fix like this was required in localconf:
YOUTUBE_DL = '/usr/bin/youtube-dl -f 34'

This will not work anymore, but there is a better way:

372 cmd = [config.YOUTUBE_DL, '-o', '-',
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%s; % id]
373 if config.YOUTUBE_FORMAT:
374 cmd += ['-f', config.YOUTUBE_FORMAT]

Instead, set YOUTUBE_FORMAT:

YOUTUBE_DL = '/usr/bin/youtube-dl'
YOUTUBE_FORMAT = '34'

 Hi Dan,

 Can't say I've seen that but I know Adam has checked in some changes
 recently to the youtube plugin. Can you test from svn and report if
 you still see this?

Is there a way to install kaa without touching the rest of my machine? 
I've waxed brave enough to try the beta version but, if I botch it up, I
still need to use my Freevo.  I was looking at:
http://doc.freevo.org/SourceSVNInstallation  Any help appreciated, thanks.


dan@dan-desktop:~/kaa$ python setup.py install

To fix, you'll need to rm -rf the following directories:
   1. build/
   2. /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/kaa/

Once you delete #2, you'll need to reinstall all the kaa
sub-modules you use.

 * New improved graphical display when playing videos (requires

 * Improve IMDB support using imdbpy
 * Asynchronous loading of thumbnail images to improve browsing speed.
 * Updated Apple Trailers plugin
 * Updated Youtube plugin
 * Search screens now use mobile phone number style input.

 ...and lots more see the ChangeLog for full details.

 This is only a beta not the full release (which will come sometime early
 next year) so there may be some bugs but please do try it! Without input
 from the community I can't fix them as I can only tests so much and
 although I'm now running this on my main machine I sure I've missed
 something :-)

 I expect there to be some further improvements so there may well be a
 Beta 2 before the final release. Please feel free to submit further
 feature requests and bug reports.

 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!

Re: [Freevo-users] Xine audio stream metadata

[Dan Schmidt]

I had a problem with cd skipping, but I was able to solve it by adding
the following:

MPLAYER_ARGS['cd'] = '-cache 2048 -cache-min 80'

[Freevo-users] Xine audio stream metadata

I have set up arch linux on a new hard drive to run freevo 1.9 and
found to my dismay that mplayer still has the same issues it had on
Ubuntu (skipping stuttering play of CD's and audio files) I thought
this was due to pulse audio on Ubuntu but clearly not. Thus I will have
to return to Xine for audio playing which is fine except I have never
been able to get Freevo to broadcast audio stream metadata (song tite,
artist) from Icecast/shoutcast stations using Xine, however with
Mplayer it works fine. Has anyone had success with this?


  
Paul:
  
  
What kind of skipping and stuttering are you having playing CDs in
mplayer? I have a problem where the buffer runs out while playing,
although not until after track 3 or 4 on any given disc. It's not a
stutter so much as a gap in playback about 5 seconds long while the
drive gets sorted out and starts reading data again. Setting a bigger
cache helps a little, setting the CD speed to around 8x (-cdda speed=8)
clears it up, but this seems odd to me, since should anything better
than realtime be able to fill the buffer?
  
  
  
It seems to be that my CD-ROM reads out enough data to fill the buffer,
then while waiting to read more, it spins down. By the time it gets the
next read command, it can't spin up fast enough and find where to read
from before the buffer empties and the music stops. I thought it was a
problem with the CD-ROM so I tried playing in Xine and like you, I
found there are no problems. Very odd.
  
Still stranger, I know it didn't always do this. I was able to play
back CDs with the drive ticking over at 2x, with the read light
blinking almost steadily. Now it seems to read a strip to fill the
buffer, then wait for the buffer to get down to 15% before attempting
to read more. I believe I've tried to lower the cache or even remove
it, but that just ends in disaster all around.
  
Anyone have an ideas, especially some setting I may have made with
hdparm that I didn't think mattered but it turns out made a big
difference? Oh yes, this happens in Freevo and on the command line, so
it's definitely something to do with MPlayer, or some other external
widget.
  
Thanks guys.
  
James

Re: [Freevo-users] Recommendation for USB TV tuner for use in USA

[Dan Schmidt]

My two cents would be to definitely look for something well supported. 
Buy something that isn't, and you may find you've wasted your money.  I
bought a used PVR 350 and have been reasonably pleased with it.  (Long
live SD)  Even then, I still had a difficult time getting it working
with my set top box.

On 11/11/2010 07:25 PM, Preston Hagar wrote:
 I've had Freevo running for some time now on an Ubuntu Hardy machine.
 I have been using it mainly for playing ripped videos, with a little
 use for music and photos.  I have, so far, had the TV plugin disabled.

 I would like to start using the TV plugin and recording OTA digital TV
 signals here in the US.  I get really good reception with a lot of
 channels, so I know that shouldn't be a problem.

 I need a TV tuner.  I would really prefer a USB one, so that if I get
 it and don't have the time or energy to get it or Freevo configured
 correctly, I can just connect it to my Windows 7 laptop and let
 Windows Media Center do the work.  Ideally, I would like it to be as
 inexpensive as possible (single tuner is fine), but I am willing to
 pay a little more for something that just works.

 I have tried searching high and low and can't find any clear answers
 as to a TV tuner that will work reliably with Linux.  The Freevo
 hardware page:

 http://doc.freevo.org/Hardware

 seems to either just list analog cards (which, if I understand things
 correctly, isn't broadcasted anymore in the US) and DVB cards, which I
 think is different than what is broadcast in the US.  I also looked at
 the cards here:

 http://freevo.sourceforge.net/hardware/recommended.php

 but most are either not digital (or I can't figure out for sure), not
 USB, or not sold/made anymore.

 I would be willing to try a PCI based solution, if I could get it
 cheap (even off ebay or something) for around $25 or less.  Otherwise
 I am hoping to stay in the $50-$60 range if at all possible.

 I came across the Hauppauge 1200 WinTV HVR-850 HDTV Tuner Stick which
 I saw a few reports that it might work in Linux, but then I saw others
 that seem to say that the newest versions don't.

 I would appreciate anyone's pointers or guidance.

 Thanks!

Re: [Freevo-users] livepause external turner

Thanks Adam!  Unfortunately, that locked it up.  :-(  Thanks much for
your help! 

The first problem was easy:

  File /usr/share/pyshared/freevo/tv/plugins/livepause/controllers.py,
line 216, in __init__

That was an easy fix - cApitalization problem.  Next problem:

(index, name, type, audioset, tuner, std, status) = self.inputs[v_input]
AttributeError: IVTV instance has no attribute 'inputs'

Not as easy.  Still tries to tune twice.  Obviously didn't catch the
exception.

428 try:
429 (index, name, type, audioset, tuner, std, status) =
self.inputs[v_input]

[Freevo-users] Irexec - mapping a key

[Dan Schmidt]

Thanks Alan, I was able to map a key by doing the following:

1.  Find a good place to launch irexec:

init.d was good.  In /etc/init.d/freevo_xserver

startx_freevo() {
# Dan was here - thanks Rob for idea
if [ `ps -ef | grep irexec | grep -v grep` = '' ]
then
/usr/bin/irexec /etc/freevo/lircrc 
fi
# End Dan
 openvt -c 9 -- su --shell /bin/sh freevo -c  startx  $DAEMONLOG   --
:1 vt9  -quiet
}

2.  Remap key:

Never did find the red button (LANG) to be useful anywhere, so 'vim
/etc/freevo/lircrc':

#NO OBVIOUS KEY AVAILABLE
#begin
#remote = Hauppauge_350
#button = Red
#prog   = freevo
#repeat = 0
#config = LANG
#end
begin
remote = Hauppauge_350
button = Red
prog   = irexec
repeat = 3
config = pkill -9 xine
end

3.  Hit Red button to kill ivtv xine when it crashes:

A bit lame, but it seems to work.

 Yes, irexec is the way to go.

 Just start irexec this way:

 Then write in /path/to/config:

 begin

config = sudo /sbin/reboot
 end

 The SysReq solution doesn't reboot your machine properly (it doesn't

 look at irexec assuming you have an unused key.
 you can use it with freevo or any other app that uses lirc.

Re: [Freevo-users] Which distro?

I used Ubuntu 9.10, however, I had all sorts of problems, especially

recommended distro or better yet, a distro/install disk.  Something like
Piren was supposed to be, but up to date and an installer.

Re: [Freevo-users] Wintv PVR 150 question

[Dan Schmidt]

You could try following the instruction I posted on the wik... dang... I
take that back, I haven't had any time to post on the wiki.  :-\  Maybe
next time I'm sick, I'll sit in front of the computer  type.

I have terrible times with Ubuntu, every other time I reboot I have to
service lirc restart and then service freevo_xserver restart just to get
it to work.  That's in addition to a bug that prevented lirc from
working right in the first place.  Probably should have done Debian. 
And heaven help you if you use tv.ivtv_xine_tv - xine is always crashing!

I modified irsend_generic.py; with simple modifications, it works pretty
well.  Better than my Tivo did.  My post was Ubuntu Lirc Bug / Dish
Network how to if you want to mess around with adding a delay between
digits, you may find that helpful.

  Thanks for the headsup. So using the IRblaster has let you keep your

 Evan

 
 Yes, using an IRBlaster and the cable company box has allowed me to
 continue using my Freevo system for recording TV programs.  However,
 this kludge is not 100% reliable.  Sometimes, one of the digits is
 missed (e.g., 189 becomes 18 or 89) and, although recording starts at
 the correct time, the wrong channel's program is recorded.  Other
 times, it seems LIRC isn't working correctly and no new channel is
 tuned via the IRBlaster, so the recording starts at the right time,
 but for the previously tuned (default) channel so, again, the wrong
 program is recorded.  In the latter situation, I have to reboot my
 system so LIRC can load correctly.  I don't know if the problem is
 with LIRC, the script, the IRBlaster, or the cable box.  Probably each
 of those at some time or another.  That's why I was hoping to
 eliminate all these variables by getting a new card with clear QAM
 support so the TV card itself can tune to the correct station without
 dependency on other devices and software.  Unfortunately, my cable
 company's decision to remove most of the channels on their line-up
 from clear QAM has thwarted my plans.

 My rough guess is that it's 95%+ reliable, but it's very frustrating
 when there's a special program I want (worse yet, a program that my
 wife really wants) and it's the very one that records incorrectly.
 Life was much simpler before the cable company switched to digital
 signals and you could have your TV or TV card tune to the correct
 channel without being forced to use their box.

Actually, livepause plugin does support IVTV. You'll need the svn version
of the livepause app (svn co
https://dvbstreamer.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dvbstreamer/livepause/trunk)
as the released version has a bug that can cause it to lock up if it
looses sync with the stream generated by the ivtv card (due to another
process using 100% cpu for example).

To use the plugin make sure that the group_type in the VideoGroup settings
is set to 'ivtv'. See the wiki or plugin information for more details on
getting the plugin setup.

Re: [Freevo-users] commdetectserver

[Dan Schmidt]

Well, it seems to work sometimes when you set your primary player to
Mplayer. It's easy to tell what player you are running - volume
doesn't work in xine, for instance. 

vlc doesn't seem to work at all. It plays the video, but lirc seems
broken. Perhaps when I get my freevo box working better, I will have
more time to fill out bug reports. (And add to the wiki - promise I'll
get to that someday)

If you go into the 'watch a video' menu and access your recorded show

  The encoding server is not needed by the commdetect server.
You are right, the commdetect server just scan the video for black 
frames and create an EDL file which is used by mplayer to skip specific 
parts of the video. Check the mplayer documentation for more infos on 
EDL files.
I don't know if it works with xine too.

Anyway, as any other "server" helper scripts, you have to run the 
commdetect server before you launch the main freevo application, by 
issuing the following command:

freevo commdetectserver --daemon

the same applies to the encoding server, if you need it:

freevo encodingserver --daemon

You can get a list of the helper script available, running:

freevo --help

  The encoding server is not needed by the commdetect server.
You are right, the commdetect server just scan the video for black 
frames and create an EDL file which is used by mplayer to skip specific 
parts of the video. Check the mplayer documentation for more infos on 
EDL files.
I don't know if it works with xine too.

Anyway, as any other "server" helper scripts, you have to run the 
commdetect server before you launch the main freevo application, by 
issuing the following command:

freevo commdetectserver --daemon

the same applies to the encoding server, if you need it:

freevo encodingserver --daemon

You can get a list of the helper script available, running:

freevo --help

Re: [Freevo-users] commdetectserver

[Dan Schmidt]

Thank you for your explanation of the edl file!

It appears the problem is with Freevo. The edl file is created
correctly by the commserver, and works as expected on command line.
However, when I select "Play with Alternative Player" and select
"Mplayer," it ignores the edl file.

Actually, livepause plugin does support IVTV. You'll need the svn version
of the livepause app (svn co
https://dvbstreamer.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dvbstreamer/livepause/trunk)
as the released version has a bug that can cause it to lock up if it
looses sync with the stream generated by the ivtv card (due to another
process using 100% cpu for example).

To use the plugin make sure that the group_type in the VideoGroup settings
is set to 'ivtv'. See the wiki or plugin information for more details on
getting the plugin setup.

Cheers

Adam

If not, I suppose that leaves only ivtv xine which appears to randomly

Re: [Freevo-users] AppleTrailer Plugin

[Dan Schmidt]

Nothing yet.  Everything seems to work fine.  I will try to find some
time to update the Wiki.  Like I said, if the wiki was more up to date,
maybe more people would use Freevo.
 Excellent. Does that break anything else that you've seen? If not and 
 you can test for a while it might be an idea to propose it as a bug fix. 
 It could be as simple as a patch to local_conf.py that suggests people 
 enabling the appletrailers plugin use this if it doesn't make sense to 
 have it as a default. Either way it would certainly be useful to have in 
 the wiki.

Re: [Freevo-users] AppleTrailer Plugin

[Dan Schmidt]

Eye candy is good, but I may argue that what Freevo really needs is
good documentation. I would gladly spruce up the wiki, but I think my
wife will kill me if she catches me working on "that freevo thing"
anymore. At the risk of starting a Myth/Freevo debate, what Freevo has
over Myth (from what I see and what I'm told) is that it easier to
setup, and it's more stable. But, there's Myth documentation
everywhere. If Freevo can prove it's quicker/easier to setup than
Myth, perhaps we could get more developers to spell the burnt out
ones. 

Your mplayer args idea is good:

MPLAYER_ARGS['video'] = "-cache 5000 -user-agent QuickTime/7.5"

Can fix appletrailers. (recognizes it as 'video' instead of 'mov',
don't know why) Don't use a ' as that can break it.

My appologies, Youtube breaking had NOTHING TO DO with the user agent,,
but rather bad timing. Ubuntu 9.10 uses an old youtube-dl.
Downloading a new one at http://bitbucket.org/rg3/youtube-dl/wiki/
seems to fix it.

There are still devels lurking, they just don't have much spare time at
the moment, I guess that's partly a reflection of the current climate.
What's really needed is a great skin designer more than anything.
Henne's new osd for freevo 1.x makes it possible to have a great
looking interface which freevo is currently lacking (other media
centres have already moved ahead in that area) to build on it's strong
underlying core. Having tested xbmc recently I'd be half temped to ask
who ever designed their skin/interface if they'd be interested in
working on freevo if the community could put up a bounty.
  
Did you try adding a 'mov' entry to the MPLAYER_ARGS setting in
local_conf? That's assuming it's possible to pass the user agent on the
command line.

The last bug I mentioned was incorrect, my apologies. It appears to be
a xine crash that locks up freevo, but only on ivtv; if you manually
killall xine, freevo comes back to life. I'll try to find a trigger.

  Ah. I'd agree with you there, a choice when the file is played again to

A scheduled recording while you are watching TV live with

try test it out as soon as I can.
  
  
Also, if somehow the xine temp file does not get deleted , xine
crashes.  It would be easy to assure that these are deleted before
trying to launch xine.
  

  
  Can't say I've noticed that either. Let me know what version of freevo

[Freevo-users] Ubuntu Lirc Bug / Dish Network how to

[Dan Schmidt]

In the hope that somebody can Google this information and avoid the
frustration I experienced getting lirc working:

(I suppose I could also put it on the wiki, unless anybody has some
objections)

In regards to:

http://doc.freevo.org/ExternalTunerConfig#head-a658b45812ae23ccabd4e3f07fafaa8b0c405038

I found this information invaluable, but incomplete. 

The installation of lirc in Ubuntu 9.10 creates a lirc1 for transmitting
to an external box, meaning you will not need to mess around creating an
init script.  So, you can skip that whole portion of the wiki. 

d...@dan-desktop:~$ ls /dev/lirc*
/dev/lirc0  /dev/lirc1  /dev/lircd  /dev/lircd1

Unfortunately, like many things in Ubuntu, they managed to break it. 
The diff to correct it to work correctly is as follows:

d...@dan-desktop:~$ diff lirc /etc/init.d/lirc
83c83
 TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=${TRANSMITTER_SOCKET}1
---
 TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=${TRANSMITTER_SOCKET}
131c131
 TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=/var/run/lirc/lircd
---
 TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=/var/run/lirc/lircd1
d...@dan-desktop:~$

For those not familiar with diff, that would mean I would edit line 83
to remove the 1, and add that 1 in line 131.  This will make lirc1 work
correctly.  (after a sudo service lirc restart)

Freevo's code to create /etc/freevo/lircrc (or where ever) does not seem
to work anymore.  I took a quick look at the code (which filename I
can't even remember now); the first problem is that it fails to strip
the  from the include directory.  However, it's not the only problem,
and I didn't have time to further debug it. 

As a workaround, you can try some copying.  For instance, my
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf has:

include /usr/share/lirc/extras/more_remotes/hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge

I think (pretty sure, can't remember) to get around this, I temporarily
copied the entire section for Hauppauge_350 into the end of
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf so that the script would run to create the freevo
lircrc.  When it was done, I took it out. 

Now you can proceed to test if irsend works.  I have a dish network
301.  Looking at the lircd.conf, I saw this file was:

/usr/share/lirc/extras/transmitters/dish/general.conf

Which, when you look at, includes the remotes dish, dish1, dish2, ect. 
dish worked for me, as doing a:

/usr/bin/irsend -d /dev/lircd1 SEND_ONCE dish select

worked quite well in my test.  Putting that in the local_conf, the only
argument I had to set was dish:

plugin_external_tuner = plugin.activate('tv.irsend_generic',
args=('/usr/bin/irsend -d /dev/lircd1 SEND_ONCE dish'))

Also might want this:

LIRCRC = '/etc/freevo/lircrc'

The last thing is to get irsend_generic working for our purposes.  Don't
mess with irsend_echostar, it is messed up. By now, if you're anything
like I was, you're getting discouraged and want the quickest, dirtiest
hack to just get freevo working.

Said quick and dirty hack is as follows in these parts of
/usr/share/pyshared/freevo/tv/plugins/irsend_generic.py.  (If you're
really lazy, you don't even have to add in my comments)

def setChannel(self, chan):
chan = str(chan)
digits = len(chan)
chan_args = ''

for i in range(digits):
# Dan was here!
# Runs too fast.  Let's fix that with a pause after each digit.
#chan_args += chan[i] + ' '
self.transmitSignal(chan[i])

#self.transmitSignal(chan_args)
   
# All we use lirc for is to change channels.  We could try pass
# select but, we're lazy and already here.  Your box
# may require enter instead
self.enterkey = select
if self.enterkey:
# Sometimes you need to send a ENTER or a SELECT
# after keying in a code.
self.transmitSignal(self.enterkey)

The last hack goes on the very last line:

def transmitSignal(self, code):
sendcmd = '%s %s' % (self.command, code)
os.system(sendcmd)
# Let's add that pause.  It should be passed but, again, lazy.
time.sleep(.1)

The time.sleep modifies how long it waits in-between digits.  I suggest
setting this number somewhere in the range of .1 to .5 - trial and
error. Restart freevo and lirc should work now.

Oh, one last thing.  Lirc in Ubuntu is flaky.  Half the time, on boot
up, I have to do a service lirc restart and service freevo_xserver
restart just to get it to work.

Re: [Freevo-users] tv.ivtv_xine_tv increase TV buffer

[Dan Schmidt]

Sure, I'll add it

 In the xine source code (input_pvr.c), we read:

 xine pvr:/prefix_to_tmp_files\!prefix_to_saved_files\!max_page_age

 What's this mean?  We care about max_page_age which can increase the
 short buffer.  Xine has this hard set to 3 in input_pvr.c.  Each file it
 creates is 200 meg, so that's 600 meg total.  In short, it doesn't
 amount to much pause time.

 If we want to change that number to 2 gig, some simple math would say
 that number should be 10.  This is very easy to do, the change in
 local_conf.py would be:

 XINE_TV_TIMESHIFT_FILEMASK = var/tmp/livepause\!\!10

 Instead of 600 meg, we now have 2 gig of disk space devoted to pausing
 live television.  Obviously, that 10 can be changed to anything you
 want.  (However, last time I left live TV on, it seemed to crash my
 recording server when it tried to record.  I'll look into that more
 before calling it a bug.)

 Also, as a side note, if your video device is not /dev/video0, I am told
 the solution is to edit the ~/.xine/config file and add a line as such :

 media.wintv_pvr.device:/dev/video2
 Hi Dan,

 Thanks for the post, very handy info to know. If you could add it to
 the wiki page that would be great. http://doc.freevo.org/Analogueivtv

Re: [Freevo-users] Ubuntu 9.10 tv.ivtv_xine_tv

[Dan Schmidt]

Thank you kindly for your suggestion! Enabling this, and looking at
the code, I found that VO_DEV and AO_DEV are NOT optional. If you
don't set them, they default to none and it doesn't work. 

However, input source does not set automatically for some reason. I
have to do a v4l2-ctl -i 1, which is strange. 

FYI, I have this set:

XINE_TV_TIMESHIFT_FILEMASK = "tmp/livepause"
XINE_TV_VO_DEV = 'xv'
XINE_TV_AO_DEV = 'alsa'
XINE_TV_CONFIRM_STOP = True
XINE_TV_PROGRESSIVE_SEEK = True
XINE_TV_PROGRESSIVE_SEEK_THRESHOLD = 2
XINE_TV_PROGRESSIVE_SEEK_INCREMENT = 5

Hi Dan,
  
Have you followed the steps for troubleshooting in the wiki? http://doc.freevo.org/TroubleShooting
  
Can you post the output from your logs when you launch xine? Also copy
and paste the command freevo uses to launch xine into a terminal and
see if you can get it working there.

[Freevo-users] XINE_BOOKMARK not working?

[Dan Schmidt]

Please forgive me for asking so many questions. 

XINE_BOOKMARK does not seem to work.  Enabling debug, I see no evidence
of get_time.  Has anybody else had any luck with this?  I don't quite
get the events (STOP  USER_END), so I'm having trouble debugging it. 

Many thanks,
-Dan

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo PVR 350 woes

[Dan Schmidt]

I see, and have fixed that problem; thank you for your time! Freevo
launches, but I still can no seem to watch live tv. I assume
this is because I do not have a XML file yet, which I believe I can
accomplish with mc2xml, as similar to such after configuration of
mc2xml:

XMLTV_GRABBER = '/home/freevo/mc2xml'
XMLTV_SORT = '/usr/bin/tv_sort'
XMLTV_DAYS = 7

XMLTV_FILE = '/etc/freevo/tv_listings.xml'



However, I will not waste the lists time on this as, hopefully, I can
get this working myself.

you can test that your card is working by looking at the output of dmesg
and looking for the ivtv entries. It should detect your card out of the box.

You do realize you need the freevo ivtv record plugin for it to work?
