 The TV channels should be shown in the order of the TV_CHANNELS from
 local_conf.py. The tv_sort of TV.xml only makes sure that the xml data
 is sorted so that the programme list is in chronological order.

[Freevo-users] Tweaking a specific channel frequency?

2008-02-01 Thread Michael Labowicz
I'm experiencing some issues with my channel 5 (NBC) on my Freevo install (
1.7.3) after switching it to analog cable (us-cable-hrc) from broadcast
(us-bcast).  I reconfigured and updated my listings from schedule direct,
and the other channels are working fine.  My TV picks it up fine, but when I
try to view it or record it, this particular channel is incredibly fuzzy.
I'm thinking its a problem with a frequency specified in my TV.xml file.  Is
there any way to tweak this value in the local_config.py file?

For reference here is the channel listing from my TV_CHANNELS variable: ( '
I11670.labs.zap2it.com', '5 WMAQ', '5' )

Michael

   Anyone have any ideas? I would really like to see the channels listed

  TV_CHANNELS does set the order and so does TV.xml.pickled but because
  TV.xml.pickled is generated it's best to use TV_CHANNELS. I suspect that
  the order in 1.5.4 was once different when TV.xml.pickled was created.
 
 There is an option called TV_SORT= in local_conf.py. I believe the
 xmltv sorter is called tv_sort. So if you set TV_SORT=tv_sort you
 should get sorted prog

Re: [Freevo-users] Support for Schedules Direct in kaa.epg

2007-08-24 Thread Michael Labowicz
 I was under the impression that Schedules Direct does use xmltv.  If this
is true, why can't the 1.x series of Freevo use the data as well?

On 8/23/07, Jason Tackaberry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 I have just committed support for Schedules Direct
 (www.schedulesdirect.org) in kaa.epg, which will be used by Freevo 2.

 Schedules Direct works pretty much the same as Zap2it Labs used to,
 except of course it is now a paid service.  It seems as if the price
 will be $15 for 3 months, which is quite reasonable IMHO.  Freevo has
 been added to the list of Approved Applications on schedulesdirect.org,
 so Freevo users may subscribe to the service and select Freevo as the
 application.

 Schedules Direct is presently in a closed beta and isn't accepting
 public accounts, but my uninformed speculation is that they will be
 offering subscriptions before Zap2it Labs stops providing service.

 I expect Freevo 1 will continue to use xmltv.

 Jason.

[Freevo-users] Fwd: Web - Please add Freevo to apps list

2007-08-19 Thread Michael Labowicz
Can someone on the Freevo project team respond to Robert?  I've tried to
submit Freevo to schedulesdirect.org myself, but apparently someone involved
in the project needs to do this.  Submitting Freevo to the approved apps
list means that we'll have less issues with accessing their XMLTV data once
it is available.

http://www.schedulesdirect.org/approvedsoftware

Here is a blurb about what schedulesdirect is about:
Schedules Direct is a non-profit organization whose mission is to advance
the state of the art in providing low-cost television program guide listings
for end-users of Open Source and Freeware applications. Our aim is to build
upon the foundation that Tribune Media Services has created with their
DataDirect product and utilize our expertise in web services and database
design to bring that information to a wider audience.

FYI - Logitech makes a wireless version of the rumble 2 pad:

However, I do understand that the ps3 or 360 remotes may be more suited
toward a younger player and that the ps3 has the advantage of using BT for
better connectivity.  Best of luck in your decision!

Hi Michael!

Thanks for the reply... I'm looking for wireless (oops, didn't put that in
the original message), and looking to start with one controller (for my 4
year old), and add more later (for us and the toddler).  Wireless is
essential with a 15 month old tornado that's fond of cables.

I was looking at the Wireless 360 or Wiimote (and the PS3 controller in
retrospect) since they utilze radio receivers that support multiple
controllers on the same receiver.  I believe the Logitech and other wireless
models use a 1:1 controller:receiver setup.  Your experience is good to know
for wired controllers, and may help those reading the list archives make a
purchasing decision.

For the benenfit of the list, the PS3 and Wiimote controls use Bluetooth,
and can work with many BT dongles.  The Wireless Xbox uses a dedicated MS
reciever that supports 4 controllers.  I've never actually used any of them;
this is where I'm lacking the experience.  Last time I played any games
seriously, it was on a Commodore 64 or an Atari 2600.

Thank you for your time and sharing your experience.  Much appreciated!

Re: [Freevo-users] Joystick/Gamepad recommendations for Linux/Freevo

2007-07-14 Thread Michael Labowicz

Hi, not sure if this fits your needs but I'm quite happy with my logitech
rumblepad 2, it's USB HID compliant so no need for any special drivers.
Just plug it in and make sure you games can read /dev/input/js0 or
similar...

Regards,
Michael

Hi Folks!

Recently I installed the educational games Childsplay into my Freevo box
(as well as PPracer), and I'm looking at other educational games for my
kids.  I'm not a gamer, so I'm not really all that fluent in what makes a
great gamepad.  I know there are drivers for the Xbox 360 wireless
controller, and some for the Wiimote.  I think the Wiimote concept is the
probable better choice, but I'm not sure about the maturity of the Linux
drivers.  So, here I am asking for a few opinions before I decide what I'm
going to do, as I have a lot of respect for the expertise and community
spirit of the folks on this list.

Here are my specific questions:

As a general purpose gaming controller, how does the 360 compare to the
Wiimote?  (Under Linux or on their native platforms).  I know it's apples vs
oranges to some extent, but I'm thinking primarily of general
compatibility/usability with a variety of game types, by non-gamer type
adults and young kids.

How are the Linux drivers?  The xpad ones have been around a while, and
use the joystick subsystem, so they are really stable.  How are the  CWiid
drivers?  Does xpad also offer mouse pointer capability?

Anything I've missed?  Thanks in advance for any opinions provided, and
have a great weekend!

/Mike

[Freevo-users] Freevo in Debian?

2007-07-09 Thread Michael Labowicz

Hi All,
I've recently noticed that Kaa has made it into Debian's unstable archive.
Does this mean that Freevo proper is on it's way in as well.  If so, great
news!

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/python/python-kaa-base

Any idea why it has taken so long?

Regards,

Assuming that they actually shut down, is there an alternative service
out there that Freevo will work with?



Here is more detail from the forum post on this topic
- Continued use of the service to support commercial products, in violation
of the agreement.
- Commercial products continued to grow despite previous appeals that this
activity stop.
- There are significant changes to the supporting data structure forthcoming
and we could not devote resources to the continued upkeep and enhancements
of the service.
- Maintenance of the service is impacting our resource pool for other
projects.
- We sought alternative options but were unable to find a solution.
- We recognize the hardship this creates for the user community. We are open
to alternative solutions and would consider proposals that met the needs of
the user community and our company.
- We looked into options to turn this into a paid service however we do not
have the infrastructure at this time.

This is the website for the xmltv grabber scripts that MythTv and Freevo

alternatives are being explored...

Costs about AU $100 per year but is the most reliable xmltv guide I have

the last 2 years).

FREE but not recommended  |  A heap of web scrapers including a couple I
have made myself.  The problem with these is that the host web source
doesnt really like people scraping so they change the site often.  This
means that the scraper scripts often need rewriting to keep up and it just
isnt worth it.  Go pay for a good source unless there is a free one that
is reliable.


Happy to add to a wiki if someone wants to start a page.

You may want to update the cache (since it probably still thinks the files
have not been updated) by closing your freevo session and then running:

Hope this helps,

Hi!

I have a bunch of old songs that I dumped on my freevo box.  I have
Unknown that shows up in Freevo for the name of the song.  SO I
started using Easytag to fix this problem.  Sure enough when I look at
the tags for the songs with the Unknown problem they have no data.
When I updated the Tag with all the data (i.e. Name, Album, track #
etc) I still get Unknown on some of the songs??? It Does work on
some, but not others.
Are my Tags corrupt, and how would I check that? Or is there something
in Freevo I need to change?  I did this for a folder of 70+ songs
without a problem, now this folder is being a **stinker** !
Any ideas?

Oh sorry the penny has eventually dropped, I forget that the tv-listing

a

Never seen this message, personally, I wonder if Debian cleans the
/usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages/freevo when doing an apt-get? if not then
you may need to remove this directory manually and redo the apt-get.

It could be caused by missing kaa dependencies or a config error.

Please, could you be kind enough to give me atleast a little hope in
solving this problem!!!

Thanks!!!

[Freevo-users] TV Guide Error in 1.7.0 on Debian Etch

2007-04-16 Thread Michael Labowicz

Hi All,
A few weeks back I installed freevo on a fresh install of Debian Etch.  At
that time, I installed version 1.6.3 onto the box, configured it and
everything seemed to work fine.  Recently I updated the system and apt-get
recommended that I update freevo to 1.7.0.  I proceeded with the upgrade,
updated my config files and freevo seems to run ok, but when I go to Watch
TV-TV Guide, I get the following error (this is from my main-1000.log):

---

Re: [Freevo-users] Fxd file generator/TV episode plugin

2007-04-10 Thread Michael Labowicz

What version of freevo was this written against? or does it not matter?  I'm
assuming that I need to put the attached files in
/usr/share/python-support/python-freevo/freevo/ or similar and activate the
plugin via the local_config.py file in my /etc/freevo directory...  I'm
running freevo version 1.6.3 on Debian Etch.

Am I on the right track?

 Hi there,

 A plugin to tvrage would be cool, but Duncan pointed that imdb also

 I  have made some modifications to imdb plugin so it can retrieve
 episode data. It´s kind of a hack, but it´s almos working know. I hope
 that my modifications doesnt disturb badly the normal use of imdb
 plugin.

 Currently I look for numberx|Xnumber and s|Snumbere\Enumber in
 file names, as this is the way that I usually name my series files.
 Perhaps we will have a problem with sport  movies :-)

[Freevo-users] Fxd file generator/TV episode plugin

2007-03-17 Thread Michael Labowicz

From earlier post on FXD files...


On 3/15/07, Christian Lyra [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


There´s a imdb plugin. I guess it´s enabled by default and works great
for movies. You just have to select the movie, press 'e' and choose
the imdb option. BUT it doesnt work for episodies of a series. I
already asked about it, and someone (me? you?) have to write a plugin
to retrieve episode info from say ww.tvrage.com or somewhere else who
could understand the S03E01 thing.

I wonder how easy it would be to do this... does tvrage.com have an api that
you can call to retrieve this or would you have to do a screen scrape?

A plug-in that would automatically tag the episode name from something like
s02e03 and do the reverse - name the episode s02e03 based on the name from
the tv-guide would be AWESOME :)  I guess I should start looking into the
wiki for plugin authoring tips.

Re: [Freevo-users] few questions about fxd files

Has anyone ever done an online .fxd file generator (or one in the
webserver)?  It would be nice to have a form that you fill out with the
relevant info and have it spit out a usable .fxd file...

Mike

Hi there

I just found another way to do it. Not sure if this is the best way. I
had the feeling that this could be done with folder.fxd files, so here
is a minimal one:

?xml version=1.0 ?
freevo
  folder title=Firefly
info
  contentA Sci-Fi serie that mixes space ships with old
western/content
/info
  /folder
/freevo

There is a atribute cover-img to folder tag as folder title=Firefly
cover-img=firefly.jpg, but dint worked for me. As Ducan pointed,
droping a cover.jpg inside the directory can do the trick.

I guess that you will want to do a fxd file for each episode, so you
can have plot information for each of them.

Note that you need to change the following for 12 hour time:

TV_TIMEFORMAT = '%I:%M %p'

This is covered here:

 I've been looking around for this and cannot come up with the

  there any way to format the displayed program times in the TV Guide as
 the 12-hour AM/PM format rather then the 24-h format that it is in?

There are three formats in local_conf.py that you can set.
# TV_DATEFORMAT = '%e-%b' # Day-Month: 11-Jun
# TV_TIMEFORMAT = '%H:%M' # Hour-Minute 14:05
# TV_DATETIMEFORMAT = '%A %b %d %I:%M %p' # Thursday September 24 8:54 am

 you can set this with editing the file event.py and adjust the arg value for the appropriate event group.I would recommend that you set the event in local_conf.pyeg:EVENTS['video']['REPLAY'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg='seek -60')
EVENTS['video']['SKIP'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg='seek +60')EVENTS['video']['LEFT'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg='pausingseek -0.1')EVENTS['video']['RIGHT'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg='pausing
frame_step +1.0')If you edit event.py your changes will be lost when you do an upgrade.DuncanThanks for the suggestions! If I change this behavior in the local_conf.py file, will it apply to both my keyboard and remote (looks like it will)?
