[Freevo-users] External Tuner Plugin for Motorola DCT6400 Set Top Boxes
Probably I am the only person who needs such a thing, but I uploaded a new external tuner plugin for Motorola DCT6400 set top boxes on the addons section: http://freevo.sourceforge.net/addons/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=dct6400.tgz&directory=Plugins There is a write up here for it: http://doc.freevo.org/ExternalTunerConfig and here: http://www.dseifert.net/code/dct6400/ -Doug Seifert - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Hello Doug,
I do not have this remote, but just an idea. After applying your patch
to kaa (see Recordserver crash on rel-1 SVN) my remote stopped working
as well. I had to remove patch to get it back.
Actually Freevo did not respond to keyboard as well while with patch,
so may be it is not the case.
Reggie,
No, you were right, the patch was garbage. Chalk it up to my lack of
experience in python. If you need it, attached is a patch that should
work correctly.
Thanks for the help, my patch was the problem, creating an infinite loop
that caused the GUI to stop responding to any events at all.

[Freevo-users] Help with Remote

Re: [Freevo-users] [PATCH] Recordserver Crash in rel-1 SVN Trunk
There is no rel-1 branch of kaa as it's new and you need the latest svn of kaa. The rel-1 branch is using kaa notifier as the event, timer, etc. We use kaa.rpc along with Twisted for some of the record server calls. The rel-1-7 branch uses the old stuff and Twisted It looks like a bug in the kaa.notifier. Duncan According to this thread: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/medusa-dev/2000/000586.html, the select call can raise interrupted system call exceptions sporadically in the select call. This must have been what was happening to me because if I wrap the select call in a loop that catches and ignores the EINTR errors, recordserver stops crashing. Tried to update the tracker item with the attached patch, but SF seems to be having problems today. Also submitted the attached patch to the freevo-devel list. -Doug Seifert Index: kaa/base/src/notifier/pynotifier/nf_generic.py === --- kaa/base/src/notifier/pynotifier/nf_generic.py (revision 2907) +++ kaa/base/src/notifier/pynotifier/nf_generic.py (working copy) @@ -204,9 +204,18 @@ r = w = e = () try: - r, w, e = select( __sockets[ IO_READ ].keys(), + # According to this thread: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/medusa-dev/2000/000586.html + # the select call can raise EINTR which is safe to ignore and retry.

I must not have had libdvdread installed when I build kaa from source. I was able to determine that kaa didn't have DVD support build in by running $ mminfo -d 2 /dev/hdc kaa media metadata info setting to log level 2 DEBUG factory(267): Trying audio/cd DEBUG factory(267): Trying video/dvd DEBUG dvd(146): kaa.metadata not compiled with DVD support DEBUG factory(267): Trying video/vcd DEBUG factory(267): Trying cd/unknown /dev/hdc | type: CD |subtype: data | media: MEDIA_DISC | mime: unknown/unknown | id: 2006030817250800MY_LITTLE_PONY_DISC_1 | label: MY_LITTLE_PONY_DISC_1 (No My Little Pony jokes, please, I do all of this for my daughters :) So, after ensuring I had libdvdread installed, I ire-installed kaa and now I can play DVD's. But I think I know what the OP's problem is: from the Watch a Movie menu, you have to use the PLAY function (I press the play button on my remote, not sure what the equivalent keyboard key is) on the DVD item, not ENTER as before.

There is no indication in the log that xine is even getting started when using the remote ENTER button on the dvd item in the Movie menu, so I'm sure it is some configuration item missing, or I am missing a library. I have CHILDAPP_DEBUG = 9 and DEBUG = 9. no xine logs get created in /var/log/freevo. xine works from the command line if I do 'xine dvd://'. Poking around now in the source to see if I can add some debug, but pointers on where to look would be nice. -Doug Seifert - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
