My distro (Fedora 7) also had a .pyo and .pyc file for each of the 2 
files. I'm not a Freevo or python developer so I don't honestly know what 
those files are for. 

I copied all 6 files from my distro's RPM file into the Freevo plugins 
directory. Then I activated the plugin in my config file and it worked 
wonderfully. When I copied the files into a self-created "appletrailers" 
directory within the plugins directory, Freevo crash as others have said.

I was able to get the appletrailers plugin working successfully. All I 
had to do was move the files from within the appletrailers subdirectory 
to the generic plugins directory in Freevo.

Then I activated the plugin with:

plugin.activate('appletrailers')

I grabbed the latest SVN version for Freevo and Kaa. Freevo is crashing on
startup for me. I think its because my config file is very incomplete.
I don't have definitions for video, audio or pictures yet but Freevo 1.6.2
handles the file gracefully. I was slowly building my config file and
wanted to just test the basics. Crash details below.

Thanks,

Glad to see this is going to be addressed. I was bitten by the same
bug/feature when 1.6 was first released.

I am thankful that the 1.x series has sprung back to life while others are
working hard on 2.x. Keep up the excellent work all.

That fixed the problem. I do think that this is somewhat
counter-intuitive. One could argue that its somewhat like Start-Shutdown in
Windows.

[Freevo-users] Idlebar Clock and Freevo 1.6

2006-11-13 Thread Kevin Gottsman
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?

I have my media files mounted by NFS and have this problem occasionally.
It happens on random files. The ones that I have identified so far have no ID3
info. I am still looking for a solution as well.

Looking at my config file, I do have the idlebar.weather plugin commented
out. The one I am currently using allows for multiple locations:

plugin.activate ( 'weather', level=45)

When I say "flaky", I mean the plugin can't always pull the weather data
successfully. Once there is a hiccup, the location is removed from the
list of possible weather locations (until the next data pull).

Yep, got that one enabled. Although its a little flaky, its very useful.
Don't want to give it up so I will have to deal with it. If it becomes to
cumbersome, I know how to fix it.

[Freevo-users] Minor issues with Freevo

2005-01-12 Thread Kevin Gottsman
I have been using Freevo for a few months now and its working very well.
It also has the wife's approval and smile. I do have a couple of minor
annoyances that I can't seem to tackle.

1. My default player is mplayer. When I play videos, particularly
widescreen, I get a bright blue line on the left and top border. The video
plays fine with the exception of the line. Using 800x600 NTSC with x11
display and GeForce2 MX (soon to be GeForce4).

2. When mplayer is exited, it goes back to Freevo menu system with the
gnome panel on top at the bottom. After a second or so, Freevo refreshes
and draws focus over top the panel. Should I just kill the panel
functionality for the "Freevo" user?

3. Using a Packard Bell POS remote control. Works great about 75% of the
time. Randomly, it fails to work with Freevo. I have an IR-RF transmitter
that blinks to let me know its sending the signal. Nothing happens though
with Freevo. After a random interval of time, it just works again.
Rebooting the system also helps.

System specs are as follows:

kernel: 2.6.8-1.521smp
lirc: lirc-0.7.0-42.rhfc2.at
pylirc: pylirc-0.0.4-1_fc2

I tried checking in /var/log/messages and in the Freevo logs. I didn't see
any error messages or warnings.

Thanks,
Kevin

Re: [Freevo-users] Announcement: RPMs for Fedora Core 2 available

2004-06-03 Thread Kevin Gottsman
I was able to manually grab most of the RPMS from Dag Wieers' repository
located at: 

http://dag.wieers.com/packages/

If I remember correctly, there may have been one provided on the FC2
CDs.

However, the main problem that I am having is that the Freevo package
doesn't recognize that mmpython is installed.

*
Can't find all Python dependencies:
No module named mmpython
*

Here is the version that I currently have installed:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] kevin]$ rpm -qa | grep mmpython
mmpython-0.4.2-4.rhfc1.at

Kevin

[Freevo-users] RE: Automatically enter a directory?

2004-02-14 Thread Kevin Gottsman
Been lurking on Gmane... finally delurking...

I basically have the same configuration as Chad does. I store pretty
much all of my media in central mount point. My basic directory
structure is

/mntpoint/Music/ArtistA
/mntpoint/Music/ArtistB
/mntpoint/Movies/MovieA
/mntpoint/Movies/MovieB
/mntpoint/Pictures/AlbumA
/mntpoint/Pictures/AlbumB

As with Chad, I add the '/mntpoint/Movies' or '/mntpoint/Music' to my
config file and it does require a second click to view the artists,
movies or whatever.


Freevo is great and keep up the good work. I really am enjoying the
progress that it has made.

Thanks,
Kevin






*
* Message cut from previous message *
*
I have my pictures and music stored on a server. There are many
subdirectories for each, of course, but all files are contained in one
master directory for  each type of item (pictures and music,
respectively). Is there any way I can get Freevo to automatically enter
the selected directory? As it stands now, there are two steps to get to
each type of item - select "Listen to Music", for instance, then select
Music again. This is the only directory that will ever be in this menu
so I'd like to avoid the second click if I could.

I know I can list each subdirectory separately, but as I take more
pictures and collect more music the subdirectory list changes. I don't
want to have to update local_config.py every time I create or rename one
of the subdirectories.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Chad
