[Freevo-users] WinTV-1800
I have been happily using Freevo with my PVR-250 for several years now After taking the Freevo survey, however, I am inspired to upgrade my freevo box (both hardware and software). I am considering my options for digital cable solutions. Has anyone used a Hauppauge WINTV-HVR-1800? Are there other cards that are deemed to have better support in Linux? I've done some reading of the Freevo wiki (as well as some others), but I wanted to get some first-hand opinions from the list.

Re: [Freevo-users] Left and right edges clipped on TV picture
I would suspect you have a too large OSD_OVERSCAN setting in local_conf.py Andrew Berry wrote: Hi, I'm using Freevo on Ubuntu Gutsy from your repositories. I want to have Freevo run at 1360x768 on my LCD TV connected over VGA. I've set up Xorg with the binary nvidia drivers and Gnome everything works fine. As soon as I load Freevo, it looks like it resizes the screen so that the left and right edges are clipped (guessing about 100px on each side). The TV still reports the proper resolution. I tried commenting out the freevo geometry line but instead of not changing the resolution it went to the default 800x600. Any suggestions?

Re: [Freevo-users] thumbnail usage
IIRC - Rename them to cover.jpg and you'll be all set, at least for music. Bert Kneepkens wrote: I'm currently using one tv combined with an xbox and installing a new pc with freevo for my lcd tv. I have got a home server supplying me with video and music files. I used to use my xbox in the living room and the way i organised my music and movie files is for use with my xbox. When i scroll through the maps they show a thumbnail for that map, this is done by inserting a folder.jpg file in that map. I am aware of the .fxd usage of freevo but is there a way to combine the two? Meaning i can use folder.jpg files (or give the jpg's a other name) in stead of using the .fxd files, and freevo still knowing and using the thumbnail? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Freevo-users] The end of Zap2It?!?
There is a very unsettling notice on the Zap2It Labs page: http://labs.zap2it.com/ztvws/ztvws_login/1,1059,TMS01-1,00.html *IMPORTANT MESSAGE:* For several years we have offered a free TV listings service to hobbyists for their own personal, noncommercial use. In October of 2004 we posted here an open letter saying the future of Zap2it Labs was at risk because of certain growing misuses of the Zap2it Labs data. Unfortunately this misuse has continued and grown. These misuses, combined with other business factors have led to the decision to discontinue Zap2it Labs effective September 1, 2007. We thank those users who have honored the terms of the agreement, and we suggest you consider the many TV listings options offered by the commercial licensees of TMS TV listings data. If you would like to discuss how to license TV listings for commercial use, please let us know by e-mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) and include your company name, telephone number and the best time to reach you. We will respond to your inquiry as soon as possible. We anticipate this decision will generate discussion and invite you to respond via the Zap2it Labs forum. We will do our best to respond to relevant questions posted on this forum in a timely manner. Assuming that they actually shut down, is there an alternative service out there that Freevo will work with? - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

[Freevo-users] No video thumbnails....
I recently undated to MPlayer-1.0pre8 (compiled myself) and have since been unable to create thumbnails for tv shows and other video files.

[Freevo-users] TV Questions
I am currently switching from an old, clunky box running 1.5.4 to a new, purpose-built box running 1.6. Along this migration I have run across to questions I've not been able to find answers to: 1. The big one: On my 1.5.4 box, the TV guide channels are listed in order of their channel number, lowest to highest. On my 1.6 machine, they are simply appearing in the order they are presented within the TV.xml file. Both boxes are running freevo tv_grab, and I don't see any configuration for listing order, so I'm not sure why there is a difference between the two. Well I guess the TV_CHANNELS option is supposed to have some effect on order, but I have TV_CHANNELS = None on both boxes because I'm using TV.xml. Anyone have any ideas? I would really like to see the channels listed in order. 2. Where are the favorites stored? I am wondering if I can simply grab some file off my 1.5.4 box and place it on my 1.6 box and thus move all the favorites. Thanks, Davin - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Freevo-users] Idlebar Clock and Freevo 1.6
In your local_config.py, you need to remove the default clock and then
add your own. For example:
plugin.remove('idlebar.clock')
plugin.activate('idlebar.clock', level=50, args='%a %d %H:%M')
There are some sample data formats here:

Freevo added the idlebar as a default in version 1.6. I think this is a
step in the right direction. Features like this make Freevo more
attractive out of the box.
Freevo seems to be defaulting to 24 hour time. I looked for the config
option and set it to 12 hour. Now the 12 hour time overwrites the 24 hour
time.
Any suggestions on how to correct this?

Re: [Freevo-users] ivtv and via unichrome tv-out interference???
Quick question for a fellow EPIA user what distro did you use? I am currently trying EpiOS as it seemed the most straight forward route, but am having an issue with mplayer when called from Freevo. Its one of those fun cases where the arguments Freevo pass are working great when entered on a console, but fail when executed by Freevo (v1.6 btw). Anyway, I'm still digging into that. My main question was to just find out what route you took to Freevo happiness. Thanks, Davin Paul Sijben wrote: I tried several cold and warm reboots but to no avail.

So I told the motherboard in BIOS to boot with TV out. Checked the BIOS setting for anything that might hamper ivtv (such as ACPI), found none and booted. To my utter amazement, not only was my TV-out ok ALSO my ivtv problem was over! I do not know how this happened which makes filing bugreports somewhat difficult. But if you run into this problem. Maybe fixing your video has the same beneficial effect for you. Did you do a cold reboot? I've seem problems fixed only after powering up after taking the power cable out and other problems fixed after a warm reboot. I can't possible imagine a relationship between ivtv and via motherboards, except that VIA doesn't have a good name for reliable chips. Duncan - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [Freevo-users] Problems running freevo 1.5.3/ivtv on Fedora Core 3 (python 2.3) - AMD64
Taking a wild guess, but perhaps it's one of your local_conf.py options.
The integer is greater than maximum is what makes me think this. I
would double check the number settings of TV_IVTV_OPTIONS and VIDEO_GROUPS.
You don't mention what card you are using, but here is what I have for a
pvr 250:
VIDEO_GROUPS = [
VideoGroup(vdev='/dev/video0',
adev=None,
input_type='tuner',
input_num=4,
tuner_norm='NTSC',
tuner_chanlist='us-cable',
desc='Regular cable',
group_type='ivtv',
recordable=True),
]
TV_IVTV_OPTIONS = {
'input' : 4,
'resolution': '720x480',
'aspect': 2,
'audio_bitmask' : 233,
'bframes' : 3,
'bitrate_mode' : 1,
'bitrate' : 400,
'bitrate_peak' : 400,
'dnr_mode' : 0,
'dnr_spatial' : 0,
'dnr_temporal' : 0,
'dnr_type' : 0,
'framerate' : 0,
'framespergop' : 15,
'gop_closure' : 1,
'pulldown' : 0,
'stream_type' : 10,
}

From looking at google[1], it looks like this should only be a problem

failed as well, due to cache)

Re: [Freevo-users] freevo tv problem
I just went through this myself. You need to configure your
VIDEO_GROUPS. Freevo is currently trying to use mplayer tv:// which does
not work with ivtv. edit your local_conf as follows and give it another
shot. This was just added to the wiki yesterday.
VIDEO_GROUPS = [
VideoGroup(vdev='/dev/video0',
adev=None,
input_type='tuner',
input_num=4,
tuner_norm='NTSC',

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo, mplayer, and ivtv
THANK YOU! This was exactly what I was missing. I somehow managed to overlook the link to that page at the bottom of the AnalogueTvConfig page. On to recording! Thanks again, Davin Rob Shortt wrote: Hi, If you're using ivtv you need to configure the VIDEO_GROUPS section in local_conf.py. There's some information in the wiki docs about this but an example for North America is: VIDEO_GROUPS = [ VideoGroup(vdev='/dev/video0', adev=None, input_type='tuner', input_num=4, tuner_norm='NTSC', tuner_chanlist='us-cable', desc='Regular cable', group_type='ivtv', recordable=True), ] Make sure you take note of the input_num part. That is the input number of the tuner on my ivtv card - svideo / composite are different numbers. The mplayer TV plugin looks at this information and decides whether or not to use tv:// (which doesn't work for ivtv) or to setup the ivtv device itself. -Rob --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: GoToMeeting - the easiest way to collaborate online with coworkers and clients while avoiding the high cost of travel and communications.

[Freevo-users] Freevo, mplayer, and ivtv
First off, thanks to all who responded to my last post. Unfortunately the suggestions didn't help. To recap: Freevo 1.5.3 PVR 250 FC3 IVTV MPlayer 1.0pre7 complied on my machine The problem: Can not watch tv. Any attempt to use mplayer tv:// style commands results in mplayer crashing as follows:: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /] mplayer -vo x11 tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:freq=77.250:device=/dev/video0:input=4:norm=NTSC MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.4.3 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel Celeron 2/Pentium III Coppermine,Geyserville (Family: 6, Stepping: 6)Detected cache-line size is 32 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE Playing tv://.

It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug. I've looked into the v4l2: ioctl request buffers failed: Invalid argument error and found people saying that ivtv will not work with mplayer tv:// commands. Is this out of date? It would seem to be because it appears the Freevo will default to using mplayer and tv://. I can watch tv by simply having mplayer go straight to /dev/video0. I also dug the old ivtv_basic_tv plugin out of cvs and tried it. It works like a champ, but it is deprecated. According to the cvs message, it has been replaced by the tv.mplayer plugin as it has ivtv support. If that is the case, have I missconfigured something that is causing the tv.mplayer plugin to output the wrong mplayer command (should not be trying to use tv:// format)? Is the command correct, but there is something wrong with my ivtv or mplayer? Are there any good guides to setting up pvr 250's with Freevo? I can't seem one, and what I can find gives the impression that it should just work leaving me feeling like an idiot for not having it working (idiocy on my part may indeed be the problem). I have been using the Fedora Myth(TV)logy site at wilsonet.com. I even reinstalled FC3 and went through the whole setup again just in case I screwed something up.

[Freevo-users] PVR-250 tv help
I've used Freevo for quite a while, but I just now purchased a pvr-250 and am trying to get tv watching working... it's not going well. From what I have read using a pvr-250 should just basically work, so perhaps I'm doing something stupid. I am running FC3 and Freevo 1.5.3. When I try try to view a channel from the tv guide, I get a black window for a moment and then I return to the guide. If I manually run the mplayer command I see: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# mplayer -vo x11, -fs -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100 -screenw 800 -screenh 600 -fs -slave -nocache tv:// -tv driver=v4l:freq=77.250:device=/dev/video0:input=0:norm=NTSC:width=640:height=480:outfmt=yuy2 MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.4.3 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel Celeron 2/Pentium III Coppermine,Geyserville (Family: 6, Stepping: 6)Detected cache-line size is 32 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Opening joystick device /dev/input/js0 Can't open joystick device /dev/input/js0 : No such file or directory Can't init input joystick Playing tv://. TV detected! ;-) No such driver: v4l Exiting... (End of file) I also tried v4l2 as the driver with the same result. xawtv does not appear to wrok either. In my xorg log I see: (II) LoadModule: v4l (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/linux/v4l_drv.o (II) Module v4l: vendor=X.Org Foundation compiled for 6.8.2, module version = 0.0.1 ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.7 and if I run v4l-conf I see: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# v4l-conf v4l-conf: using X11 display :0.0 dga: version 2.0 mode: 1024x768, depth=24, bpp=32, bpl=4096, base=0xe000 /dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support So it seems like I have vl4 loaded ok. If I run mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0 mplayer will get video off the pvr 250, so the card is functional. Basically I am stumped. Searching the mailing list and google has failed to turn up anything I can identify as a solution. Any ideas out there?

Re: [Freevo-users] Streamzap remotes
Could you not diff once you have a fixed source of the current 0.7 release version of LIRC? Instead of working a patch for earlier versions of LIRC? I'm not sure if you are asking me to simply provide a diff of the one manually patched file vs. what's in cvs, or if you want a diff of everything to use as a new patch. I assume the patch maintainers will soon update the patch to work against the current cvs files. In any event, if a diff of the files will be helpful to you I will gladly create one, but it will have to wait until I am back at the machine later tonight. In the meant time, could you explain a little more as to what you were hoping I would do or provide? As I mentioned in the wiki, I am still a fairly novice linux user. -Davin --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

Re: [Freevo-users] LIRC Suggestions
I went with the USB based Streamzap remote. It was $30 something dollars (US) but for that you get a USB receiver and a fairly cool remote. The downside to this solution is that you have to patch and compile your own lirc, not a big deal, but something to consider. The Streamzap patch can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/szremote/. Oh, and it is not compatible with the 2.6 kernel as of yet. -Davin - Original Message - From: Joe Harris To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 10:30 PM Subject: [Freevo-users] LIRC Suggestions I am working on freevo #5 now and have decided to make the LIRC plunge.

Re: [Freevo-users] Speed up ripping?
Like VPutz, I was disappointed (my only Freevo disappointment thus far!) in the ripping speed through Freevo. As such I still rip using my Windoze box because it rips at 3x to 25x depending on the quality settings I use. So, perhaps I am being dense about something here, but how is it that MusicMatch Jukebox and plenty of other ripping tools rip cds at 3x and higher? You explanation seems to say that this behavior is not good and will lead to poor recordings. I have not found that to be the case. Like I said, perhaps I am just missing something, and if so, please enlighten me! Thanks, Davin - Original Message - From: Gray, Tim [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 1:29 PM Subject: RE: [Freevo-users] Speed up ripping? here's an even better explination also stolen from the cdparanoia website. The audio CD is not a random access format. It can only be played from some starting point in sequence until it is done, like a vinyl LP. Unlike a data CD, there are no synchronization or positioning headers in the audio data (a CD, audio or data, uses 2352 byte sectors. In a data CD, 304 bytes of each sector is used for header, sync and error correction. An audio CD uses all 2352 bytes for data). The audio CD *does* have a continuous fragmented subchannel, but this is only good for seeking +/-1 second (or 75 sectors or ~176kB) of the desired area, as per the SCSI spec. When the CD is being played as audio, it is not only moving at 1x, the drive is keeping the media data rate (the spin speed) exactly locked to playback speed. Pick up a portable CD player while it's playing and rotate it 90 degrees. Chances are it will skip; you disturbed this delicate balance. In addition, a player is never distracted from what it's doing... it has nothing else taking up its time. Now add a non-realtime, (relatively) high-latency, multitasking kernel into the mess; it's like picking up the player and constantly shaking it. CDROM drives generally assume that any sort of DAE will be linear and throw a readahead buffer at the task. However, the OS is reading the data as broken up, seperated read requests. The drive is doing readahead buffering and attempting to store additional data as it comes in off media while it waits for the OS to get around to reading previous blocks. Seeing as how, at 36x, data is coming in at 6.2MB/second, and each read is only 13 sectors or ~30k (due to DMA restrictions), one has to get off 208 read requests a second, minimum without any interruption, to avoid skipping. A single swap to disc or flush of filesystem cache by the OS will generally result in loss of streaming, assuming the drive is working flawlessly. Oh, and virtually no PC on earth has that kind of I/O throughput; a Sun Enterprise server might, but a PC does not. Most don't come within a factor of five, assuming perfect realtime behavior. To keep piling on the difficulties, faster drives are often prone to vibration and alignment problems; some are total fiascos. They lose streaming *constantly* even without being interrupted. Philips determined 15 years ago that the CD could only be spun up to 50-60x until the physical CD (made of polycarbonate) would deform from centripetal force badly enough to become unreadable. Today's players are pushing physics to the limit. Few do so terribly reliably. Note that CD 'playback speed' is an excellent example of advertisers making numbers lie for them. A 36x cdrom is generally not spinning at 36x a normal drive's speed. As a 1x drive is adjusting velocity depending on the access's distance from the hub, a 36x drive is probably using a constant angular velocity across the whole surface such that it gets 36x max at the edge. Thus it's actually spinning slower, assuming the '36x' isn't a complete lie, as it is on some drives. Because audio discs have no headers in the data to assist in picking up where things got lost, most drives will just guess. This doesn't even *begin* to get into stupid firmware bugs. Even Plextors have occasionally had DAE bugs (although in every case, Plextor has fixed the bug *and* replaced/repaired drives for free). Cheaper drives are often complete basket cases. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Victor Putz Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 1:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Freevo-users] Speed up ripping?

Re: [Freevo-users] streamzap remote
First, the simple question are you running on a custom kernel? I believe you will have to compile your own kernel for lirc to compile, at least I did on RH9 (I am no linux guru, so this may not apply to all distros). If you are all set on the kernel side, then you probably need to manually edit a file. I'll have to look more on this, but what I think I ended up doing was taking a recent version of lirc (as of a couple months ago), running the patch (which failed near the end), and then manually completing the patch by editing a lirc file to add a Streamzap entry. Anyway, I'll reconstruct my steps and let you know. -Davin - Original Message - From: Joe Stump [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 21, 2003 12:48 PM Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] streamzap remote I thought this too which is why I used a snapshot dated August (and one dated Oct.) - bot with no success *despite* the patch saying everything went well. patch -p1 ../streamzap comes back clear, but when I type make it errors out. --Joe I am using a Stramzap with great success.

I think you may have the order of operation backward. If you want to play music form the cd and see the cover art, then lookup the cover when browsing the cd.

[Freevo-users] OGG File tags/cover lookup
Hello All! I have a question on Freevo support for OGG tags. I am currently giving OGG a try and like the results in terms of file size and fidelity. My problem is that Freevo does not seem to pick up on the OGG tags. I ripped the fileswith CDDA Ripper XP and if I play them in XM Play I can see al the tag info (Album, Year, etc). Freevo is only displaying the Track and Album when playing one of these files. Also, while the cover lookup works great on my MP3's, but it is not even an option for OGG (not supported of ogg?). I have not tried the built-in ripping in Freevo yet, so I don't know if that would have any better results. Anyway, are there any known issues here? Am I missing something? I would really like to start ripping my cd library into OGG's, but I want too be certain I have all the tagging correct so that all album information is preserved and displayed. Thanks for a stellar product! -Davin RH 9 Freevo 1.3.4

[Freevo-users] Framebuffer vs. X
OK, I am hopelessly confused (in other words, a noob) on this issue. I get the point that framebuffer lets you run without X, but is that a tremendous improvement? I am currently running Freevo under X with my GeForce4 using the NVidia driver and I have no complaints about performance. I guess I am looking for compelling reasons to attempt to get framebuffer up and running. If someone can tell me that there is a marked improvement when running under framebuffer, I'll give it a go. Lastly, thanks to all the developers of Freevo for an excellent piece of software! Thanks for any feedback, Davin

After configuring my XFree86 configuration file as shown in the FreeVo documentation (and also consulting nvidia's readme as well), I attempt to startx and receive this error: (EE) NVIDIA(0): No modes remaining for display device: TV-0 (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Has anyone run into this issue? How can I troubleshoot this further?

Re: [Freevo-users] nVidia problems!! XF86Config file or something else is keeping me from a working FREEVO
I had the same issue. It was because of one of the Options in the Screen_tvout800 section (I think it was TVStandard, but not sure). Anyway, remove/commentthe options one-by-one and try again. You'll get it to work eventually. You can then add back the ones that don't blow up. -Davin - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2003 11:13 PM Subject: [Freevo-users] nVidia problems!!

Re: [Freevo-users] G300FB full screen problems -- G400 not 300
I had windowed movies too until I changed the freevo config option USE_WID = 1 (I think that was the option...) to 0. After that, mplayer would come up full screen, but I would be staring at a black screen. Hitting Z to window freevo allows the movie to show full screen. -Davin - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 6:44 AM Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] G300FB full screen problems -- G400 not 300 Opps.. its a G400 Frame buffer full screen problem, not a G300 !! I have sucessfully recomplied by kernal with the help of the wiki documentation board, I've go the screen centered, and looking good when running most apps in freevo (full screen mode). When I watch a DVD, or an DiVX, I get the task bar at the bottom, and the title baer(??)on top of the with the min, max, an close buttons. When I leave he, the comptuer goes back in to fullscreen mode and looks fine. I'm running on: RH 9.0 freevo: 1.3.2-pre4 Any ideas ??

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo without X
See Section 2.3.8 of the Freevo Documentation Wiki at: http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/DocumentationPage The step-by-step for RedHat can be found at: http://www.knet-work.co.uk/freevo-redhat8-guide.htm I followed this on RedHat 9 and it worked like a champ. I use the TV-Out (SVideo) of a GeForce 4 MX-420. -Davin - Original Message - From: Richard J. Finn [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 4:44 PM Subject: [Freevo-users] Freevo without X I keep reading that Freevo can be used without X, but I can't seem to find anything on *how*. Or maybe I'm missing something that's understood but not said. Can Freevo display to a TV set (using the S-video out or something on the graphics card) without first loading X? Or can it only function as a recorder and file sharer without loading X? --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
