Re: [Freevo-users] stop 'tearing' in AMD Radeon HD 6410D?
part of the answer seems to be to install cpufreqd. On ubuntu it is automatically configured to scale up the CPU frequency when mplayer or xine are run.

Not sure about the ATI card, I use a NVIDIA, As for /proc/cpuinfo, It will read the speed the CPU is currently running at, not the max speed. AMD chips are actually pretty good about scaling, so when idle they tend to slow down to reduce heat and save power. For example, I have a Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (3.0 Ghz, dual core) in my main freevo box, but it is reading 1 Ghz for cpu speed right now. With cpufreq-set, you can adjust the cpu speed at will. For example, I run Hulu Desktop with Freevo (using a fxd command file). Since Hulu seems to take a lot of processing power and sometimes the cpu doesn't scale up fast enough, I now start hulu with this script: cpufreq-set -c 0 -f 3.0GHz cpufreq-set -c 1 -f 3.0GHz /usr/bin/huludesktop cpufreq-set -c 0 -f 1.0GHz cpufreq-set -c 1 -f 1.0GHz Basically, the first two commands set my cpu frequency for each core to their max (3.0 Ghz), then I run hulu. When it exits, I set the frequency back to the minimum 1 Ghz and let the standard governor take over. Try cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor to see what your current governor is, or cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors to see the available ones. I use userspace, which then lets me use powernowd (you have to install it separately). It seems to be decent. Anyway, you might try setting the governor to performance or just setting the cpufreq to maximum before trying a video and see if that helps your tearing problem. You probably want the cpu to idle lower when not in use, but it might at least give you an idea if your issue is your cpu not running at full speed. Preston -- Write once. Port to many.

Re: [Freevo-users] The future of Freevo 2.0
Like many have said here already the thing that sets Freevo apart for me is its endless configurability, if there's anything I don't like or don't need I can more often than not remove it or change it without having to have vast amounts of geek knowledge. A couple of years ago when I set out to build a media centre I remember going through most of the usual suspects: XBMC, Linux MCE, Geexbox, Moovida, an early look at Enna etc - it wasn't actually that time consuming as I invariably almost instantly found something that I didn't like or something that I couldn't do (with many I recall it was simply playing a LAN shoutcast stream playing from MediaMonkey on my Windows desktop) with no obvious way of rectifying it. Freevo was one of the last ones I tried and it was quickly fairly apparent that, with a little work, this was something that I could customise to my needs. I'm probably different to many here in that I don't use the TV recording part of Freevo at all - initially I was just interested in playing recorded TV or ripped DVDs over the network from my desktop, playing music either a LAN stream using my Mediamonkey playlists, ripped CD's or radio and viewing photos. But now with just a little bash scripting knowledge my Freevo is also a karaoke machine, an internet browser with access to news/tv/movie streams google earth, an arcade/c64/DOS retro gaming machine, and a photo booth all controlled with a wiimote which changes automatically from keyboard interface to mouse pointer to joystick depending on which application is being used. I haven't been back to check on the other media centre applications since mainly because I'm fairly sure I would run into a dealbreaker fairly quickly - I doubt there is anything else out there that would allow the average user to do all of this and more with just a bit of scripting. I haven't looked at Freevo 2 yet either but, to echo others' comments, I hope it retains the ease of configuration and customisation that make its predecessor so unique.

There are some minor bugs in the playlist stuff but it should be easy to fix. The menu reload also has some problems I need to investigate. To summarize: the core is mostly done and the remaining points are on my TODO list and I will fix them. Now the bigger problems: GUI. The clutter-based GUI can do nice stuff but needs some more work. 5. kaa.candy has the basics, but may need some nice effects like mirror-effect, better animations, etc. It has everything we need to make Freevo 2.0 work but it could be nicer. If you know C (Python not needed) and want to play with clutter or if you now Python and want to dive into kaa.candy, drop me a note. You only need to know kaa.base and clutter as dependency. 6.

Re: [Freevo-users] Xine audio stream metadata
Hi James, Yes, thats the same problem I have with CD's - when I run it from the command line it says things like - unable to fill buffer, can't read buffer etc, the best setting I could get for it was a buffer of 4096, speed 8x. and minimum buffer of 40% - but this isn't acceptable for playing CD's - if I skip tracks of have it on random play it takes a good half a minute between tracks filling the buffer. I haven't tried playing mp3 files over the network again as this is already a deal breaker but previously in Ubuntu they would just pause for a few seconds, fiddling with the buffers could get it down to once or twice per song. I can't find anything on forums other than running enormous buffers as a way aorund this so I will continue using Xine - if only Freevo could read the artist metadata when playing radio streams with Xine! PS - I was at the stage of looking at hdparm settings becasue of these issues but never changed anything, I have tested three different CD drives and the problem is the same with all of them. 2010/11/18 James Trietsch kero...@yahoo.com *From:* Paul strifek...@users.sourceforge.net *To:* freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net *Sent:* Fri, November 12, 2010 11:49:58 AM *Subject:* [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 -- Beautiful is writing same markup.

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?

[Freevo-users] Which distro?
I've been using Freevo on Ubuntu Karmic Koala for about 6 months but always with the intention of trying something else at some point. The main reason is the audio performance, I seem to be one of the many users suffering from Ubuntu's implementation of Pulseaudio, and looking at the Ubuntu forums it seems this problem is still present in Lucid Lynx. With my hard drive recently failing it seems a good time to try something else, I was looking at Debian but am open to suggestions, what have your experiences been?

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and Freevo 1.8.2 with this setup.
I've tried Freevo 1.9.0 and, yes, I can't see the new menu entries. I
think
it's related to the plugin 'command.fxdhandler'. When I've enabled it in
1.9.0 in local_conf.py, I've got an error whenever I try one of the menus
that have a fxd file:
plugin.activate('command.fxdhandler')
$ freevo

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'COMMAND_SPAWN_WM'
Looks like you need to add 2 new variables in your local_conf.py called
COMMAND_SPAWN_WM and COMMAND_KILL_WM
ie.
COMMAND_SPAWN_WM = ''
COMMAND_KILL_WM = ''
These appear to be used to start and stop a window manager using the
sqawnwm tag. You probably don't need this but defining these should allow
you to use the plugin.
What is odd is that the plugin should defined these automatically?! Looks
like another bug to bash.

Re: [Freevo-users] FXD command files
Hi Bill, I use pykaraoke. It has a special mini frontend that's perfect - it launches full screen and is just simply a list of all the karaoke songs in the database (you can set this and update it from the main program) - the user just scrolls through the songs and selects whichever one they want. My requirements are for a robust system which family friends or guests can use intutively with a wiimote without (accidentally or intentionally) breaking out of freevo and into other parts of the system, so this integrates very easily. Now back to my problem, Francisco - is there anything you can think of that I might not have done with my shell scripts that may be causing me problems?

Is it possible to run fxd command files from within the standard menu
structure? I have quite a few running from the main menu now (internet,
karaoke, the cheese photo application) and I wanted to clean it up by
inserting some within the menu items (ie: karaoke within music, the cheese
app within photos), there's not a whole lot of documentation on fxd files
and I've been fiddling with them for a while with no success, is this
possible at all?
Yes!.
I've added a Spotify entry within the Music main menu. First I've written
this fxd file:
spotify.fxd:
?xml version=1.0 ?
freevo
command title=Spotify
cmdwine C:\Archivos de programa\Spotify\spotify.exe/cmd
stoposd /
/command
/freevo
And then, I've added the fxd file to the AUDIO_ITEMS section in
local_conf.py:
AUDIO_ITEMS = [
('Infantil', '/datos/musica/infantil'),
('Pop', '/datos/musica/pop'),
('Otras', '/datos/musica/otras'),
'/opt/config/freevo/fxd/spotify.fxd',
]
I also have a Picasa entry in the Photo menu, though, instead of adding the
fxd file to the IMAGES section in local_conf.py, I've included it in my
image directory:
picasa.fxd:
?xml version=1.0 ?
freevo
command title=Editar fotos en Picasa
cmd/opt/config/freevo/fxd/picasa.cmd/cmd
nostdout /
/command
/freevo
picasa.cmd:
#!/bin/sh
picasa
true
local_conf.py:
IMAGE_ITEMS = [ ('Ver Fotos', '/datos/Escritorio/fotos'),
# '/opt/config/freevo/fxd/picasa.fxd',
]
In /datos/Escritorio/fotos I have a directory named fotos and the fxd
file picasa.fxd. As you can see, I previously added the fxd file directly to
the IMAGE_ITEMS section, though now I've commented out the entry.
Nevertheless, both approachs work flawlessly for me.

[Freevo-users] Audio Performance
Hi everyone, I have an external hard drive on an XP computer which has a shared folder that is automounted when I boot my media centre PC on Ubuntu. This contains all of my media files which are referenced through Freevo, its working fine playing .avi movies using Xine, with fluid playback but playing mp3 files is another story. Using Mplayer or Xine I can't get through 2-3 minutes of music without a pause of a second or two in the playback. Most of my mp3 files are 256-320 kbs but I have tried this with 160 kbs files and still get the same results. I have tried putting the MPLAYER_AUDIO_CACHE_KB up to 5000 from within Freevo but still can't get reliable playback, yet outside of Freevo without any manipulation of Mplayer settings there is no problem playing these same files. I can even stream audio over the LAN at 192kbs using Shoutcast from the Windows PC and play this on Freevo without skipping. Something similar happened with CD playback - from within Freevo there were regular pauses and I had to change the Mplayer CD cache settings to 4096 - this seems to work but makes for huge pauses in random play or when skipping to another track as the cache is filled. Is there any reason for this discrepancy in performance and any way I can circumvent these problems from within Freevo? Thanks. -- ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
Re: [Freevo-users] multirecording patches
I have not submitted it yet I have found a leeetle issue for which I am testing the fix. It had to do with two programs with the same name scheduled back to back. The thumbnail generation is still an issue. Sometimes I only get a fraction of a thumbnail and I have not been able to correlate it with multiple recordings finishing at the same time.

Are you locking the devices that are recording and just go to the next one in the list when is time to record a new program ? the way I am using the record group simply lists all the devices used for recording. Also, as far as VIDEO_GROUPS go, don't you have to have two entries for each device, one for viewing and one for recording with the 'record_group' of the first entry pointing to the next one if you want to use it for both viewing and recording ?

[Freevo-users] IMDB lookup
Hi,
After a couple of solid weekends I have just about everything working how I
want it, but the IMDB plugin that I just can't work out. I'm using Freevo 1.9.0
on Ubuntu Karmic Koala, I have patched the IMDB plugin and am using html5lib as
described elsewhere on these pages. This allowed me to progress to the point of
being able to choose from a list of films to parse information from. After
selecting the correct film and getting a message along the lines of 'retrieving
information' Freevo crashes with this message:
event 'MENU_SELECT' crashed

Re: [Freevo-users] multirecording patches
I think I have a solution for the thumbnails (used a with statement around the code that creates the thumbnails) I will test it for a bit before sending the code. The TV viewing works now I have configured tv.ivtv-xine, however there is currently no conflict resolution! Is it correct that there is no conflict resolution currently in Freevo anyway?

I have had no issues using a PVR 350 on Ubuntu 9.10. 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?

[Freevo-users] install on USB, any issues?
I am planning a major upgrade of my Freevo box, new mother board, up to date distro and the latest freevo (still running a customized 1.6.x). I noticed that the wiki page on usb installs refers ubuntu 8.10 and I find elsewhere that since then things have changed. Should I expect any issues if I simply install Ubuntu 9.10 onto a USB stick?

Re: [Freevo-users] Newbie: Problem with HD channel names
I tracked the problem a little further. The bug is in the simplistic
TV_CHANNELS_SORT routine which just forces the channel number to be an
int. There is no protection around that call, so it all fails. If there
had been protection, my channel list would have been fine except not sorted.

You need to add dvbstreamer (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvbstreamer/) to Freevo as a plugin

setupdvbstreamer -A channels.conf. Next run this commmand, dvbctrl lsservices --
-id| grep -v ^... This will capture the channels available. Next, copy and paste
your channel list to your local_conf.py.Here's my list as an example of what it should look like.
I would recommend using the newer livepause plugin (tv.livepause) rather
the the dvbstreamer specific one. The new livepause plugin is a lot more
refined and uses less CPU. For that you will need the livepause program
(also available from the dvbstreamer sourceforge page).
plugin_record = plugin.activate('tv.dvbstreamer.record')
You will still need to use this to record though

[Freevo-users] Newbie: Problem with HD channel names
Hello, I am trying to set up Freevo for the first time. I installed 1.9 from source and am now trying to set up the TV viewing. I am in the US and I have an HDHomeRun tuner (external box with Ethernet interface). I have my XMLTV feed set up. Where I am failing is that my channel names are like 2-1, etc. Freevo fails with the message: Error in TV.xml file, unable to set TV_CHANNELS invalid literal for int() with base 10: '2-2' I looked through the Web site, but did not see anything about this. How does one configure HD stations? Also, if anyone has a configuration using an HDHomeRun, how exactly does one configure the tuners in Freevo?

Re: [Freevo-users] Manual installation of Freevo in Ubuntu 8.04
Hi Fransisco,
thanks for the manual, I was considering doing a manual install on hardy
sometime soon and this is quite useful.
One question, the last time I did a manual install I handled
dependencies with
sudo apt-get build-dep freevo
is there a reason you did not opt for that approach to get the dependencies?

Hi,
I've written a quick guide to install Freevo in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy
Heron. As Freevo packages in Ubuntu are broken, I've done a manual
installatio from source.
This approach has the advantage that is very easy to setup several
Freevo versions in the same machine, and switch between them without
problem.
These are the basic steps; below is an example script to save some
typing. I will add this guide to the wiki if it proves to be useful.
1.- Download Freevo sources from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=46652
===
Freevo-x.x.x.tar.gz
kaa-base-x.x.x.tar.gz
kaa-imlib2-x.x.x.tar.gz
kaa-metadata-x.x.x.tar.gz
2.- Make '~/src' directory and extract all the packages in it
3.- Install dependencies
===
(It would be very wise to add 'Medibuntu' repository before this step)
libglib2.0-dev
libimlib2
libimlib2-dev
libdvdread-dev
python-xml
python-pygame
python-twisted
python-dev
python-beautifulsoup
xmltv
lsdvd
aumix
mplayer
libdvdcss2
4.- Optional packages
==
w32codecs
python-pylirc
lirc
tvtime
xine-ui
5.- Install Freevo packages in order
===
kaa-base
kaa-imlib2
kaa-metadata
freevo
6.- Copy configuration files in Freevo directory
===
- If you are using Freevo for the first time:
- Exec 'freevo setup' to get 'freevo.conf'
- Move '~/.freevo/freevo.conf' to '~/freevo-1.8.1'
- Copy '~/src/freevo*/local_conf.py.example' to
'local_conf.py' in Freevo installation directory
- Edit and adapt 'local_conf.py'
- If you have a working Freevo
- Copy 'freevo.conf' and 'local_conf.py' in ~/freevo-1.8.1
- Run the /convert_config/ helper
To make things clear

# Add Medibuntu

# Optional packages
sudo aptitude install w32codecs python-pylirc lirc tvtime xine-ui
# Extract packages
mkdir ~/src
cd ~/src
cp ~/Desktop/*.tar.gz .
tar xvzf kaa-base*.tar.gz
tar xvzf kaa-imlib2*.tar.gz
tar xvzf kaa-metadata*.tar.gz
tar xvzf freevo*.tar.gz
# Installing Kaa
cd ~/src/kaa-base*
python setup.py install --prefix=~/freevo-1.8.1
#version=$(python -V 21 | sed -n 's/Python \(.\..\).*/\1/p')
#export PYTHONPATH=~/freevo-1.8.1/lib/python${version}/site-packages
export
PYTHONPATH=~/freevo-1.8.1/lib/python2.5/site-packages:/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/oldxml
cd ~/src/kaa-imlib2*
python setup.py install --prefix=~/freevo-1.8.1
cd ~/src/kaa-metadata*
python setup.py install --prefix=~/freevo-1.8.1
# Install Freevo
cd ~/src/freevo*
python setup.py install --prefix=~/freevo-1.8.1
# Should the previous command fail:
# ---add the next line to 'setup.py' below 'import sys'---
sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python%s/site-packages/oldxml' %
sys.version[:3])
#
python setup.py install --prefix=~/freevo-1.8.1
* Excuting Freevo
cd ~/freevo-1.8.1
PYTHONPATH=~/freevo-1.8.1/lib/python2.5/site-packages:/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/oldxml
bin/freevo
* Now Freevo should work fine and you can remove ~/src and all its
contents.
* Two or more Freevo versions
=
-Download and extract Freevo packages as described before
-Make a symlink 'freevo' pointing to the version you want to use
-Make the directories 'cache' y 'log' inside every freevo directory
-In each 'local_conf.py' set these variables as needed:
FREEVO_STATICDIR=~/freevo-1.8.1/lib
FREEVO_LOGDIR=~/freevo-1.8.1/log
FREEVO_CACHEDIR=~/freevo-1.8.1/cache
-Run Freevo with:
cd ~/freevo
PYTHONPATH=~/freevo/lib/python2.5/site-packages:/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/oldxml
bin/freevo
-If you want to use another version of Freevo, you can change the
symlink or, simply, cd to that Freevo version directory and adapt
PYTHONPATH in the command line as needed.
Hope this will be useful. Hints are always welcome
[Freevo-users] further update on parallel recording
When I first posted patches to achieve multiple concurrent recordings I
said that there were a few desired features not yet implemented. These
included better conflict resolution and 2 programs starting at the same
time.
The attached helpers/recordserver.py fixes that. (based on 1.6.1 I believe)
The only assumptions this code makes is that all entries in VIDEO_GROUPS
are of the same type (I use it with ivtv) and are able to record the
same channels (I currently use a PVR500).
have fun!

So I thought I needed those.
Ah well, they ought to work...
But I need to assign CH+/CH- to the replay and
skip functions!
That is how my setup is, I do not recall if I ended up at that because
of some legacy issue or because of some other reason.
Otherwise you can always try the following:
if event == PLAYLIST_NEXT or event==SKIP:
self.app.write('SpeedFaster\n')
self.speed*=2
return True
if event == PLAYLIST_PREV or event==REPLAY:
self.app.write('SpeedSlower\n')
self.speed*=.5
return True
Will try that tomorrow and post my results.

Re: [Freevo-users] PVR-350
Pascal, could you share your X config file with us (and other configs that might be of relevance)? There are multiple people interested in this setup. Paul Sijben Pascal Schirrmann wrote: Jason Tackaberry a écrit : The video out on the 350 is workable if all you want to do is output captured material. But as a general use output (i.e. freevo gui) in combination with generic material (random AVIs, dvd rips, etc) it is rather problematic. Hi, I'm using a PVR-350 card on my freevo box. The system is based on a Mandriva 2007. I setup the PVR card as a X display, and start freevo with the -fs option. I'm really impressed by the picture (and our TV, a 82 cm / 32 Sony TV is very difficult to feed). That's true with MPEG file recorded by the PVR-350 card, but also with all sort of avi/mp4/mpeg1 stuff I found to test. So far, it's the best TV out I ever have seen.

Re: [Freevo-users] mplayer flickering bars
Jason, thanks this was very helpful the -vf did the trick. Had some problems convincing freevo to actually use it but that's sorted too.

Freevo should by default black that area out. I only have a WS TV so I can't really test. Note this isn't a function of Freevo, but of mplayer. Also the behaviour of fullscreen mode can to vary by vo driver. Paul, try specifying -noslices and see if that changes anything? Have you tried issueing from the command line? I know xine has a plugin to inject those black lines onto the screen.. But I can't remember if mplayer does. Try xine with the expand plugin. mplayer also has an expand plugin, which is actually slightly more capable than xine's currently is. Paul, you can try -vf expand=:4/3. If you still get weird results, try passing -noslices on the command line. Cheers, Jason. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Duncan,
Sorry for the delay. I now had time to test the patch and it does not
work. it now produces the following command (adding both the non
hardware accellerated VO device and the non HW accel):

-ao alsa -fs -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100 -screenw 768 -screenh 576

Re: [Freevo-users] mplayer change channel + UNICHROME
So what you need is a way to change the MPLAYER_VO_DEV depending on the
media type, rather than the activity?
indeed. The problem is that with ivtv the tv also gives mpeg.
but I am not sure the MPLAYER ARGS will work as it will insert also the
other VO_DEV which I guess will confuse mplayer.
right?

Then I think you could add special device arguments to the MPLAYER_ARGS,
this is what I have:
MPLAYER_ARGS = { 'dvd': '-cache 8192',
'vcd': '-cache 4096',
'cd' : '-cache 1024 -cdda speed=2',
'tv' : '-nocache',
'ivtv' : '-cache 8192',
'dvb': '-cache 1024',
'avi': '-cache 5000 -idx',
'rm' : '-cache 5000 -forceidx',
'rmvb' : '-cache 5000 -forceidx',
'webcam' : 'tv:// -tv
driver=v4l:width=352:height=288:outfmt=yuy2:device=/dev/video2',
'default': '-cache 5000'
}
AFAIK I could also add mpeg it the above.

[Freevo-users] 1.6.1 weather plugin issue
All, I have been investigating why my weather plugin often fails these days. error looks like this: File /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/freevo/plugins/weather.py, line 327, in getForecast self.convertWeatherData() File /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/freevo/plugins/weather.py, line 514, in convertWeatherData self.setWeatherIcon( ) File /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/freevo/plugins/weather.py, line 522, in setWeatherIcon match = weatherTypes.findType( name=self.shortdesc ) File /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/freevo/plugins/weather.py, line 618, in findType raise Exception, unknown type requested in WeatherTypesClass::findType() %s:%s:%s%(number,name,icon) Exception: unknown type requested in WeatherTypesClass::findType() None::None I have added the printout of the parameters to findType, and gee it turns out it can not find a type of you give it no input. So I looked at the data file for my location, it is attached. The problem is that self.shortdesc is empty which is because both the CIcon and Context fields are empty in the data it receives. Does anyone understand the weather plugin sufficiently to know how to fix this?

[Freevo-users] recording server, how can this work???
All,
I tried getting the recording server to work, but I get no items in the
menu. OK so I look at the source code for dvdbackup.py. I see this
if item.type == 'video' and item.mode == 'dvd' and hasattr(item,
'info_type'):
if item.info_type == track: #and item.media and
item.media.devicename:
#for dvd on disc
self.dvdsource = item.filename
self.title = int(split(item.url)[-1])
if hasattr(item, 'media') and hasattr(item.media,
'devicename'):
#we have a real dvd disc
self.dvdsource = item.media.devicename
self.title = int(item.url[6:])
self.item = item
return [ (self.encoding_profile_menu, _('Backup this dvd
title...')) ]
return []
Now there must be at least something wrong with this indentation because
a real DVD does not have a info_type.
So I hacked the code around a little to make sure that we got to the bit
that has the comment on the real dvd disc in it. Next issue: the url ==
dvd:// according to the log, which int should be put here in self.title?
At this point I am stumped. How can this code work? Am I missing something?
I have looked at both the plugin for 1.5.x as well as the version in
1.7.0rc1.
Input is greatly appreciated.
Paul

You're not backing up a DVD but a title and titles have info_type. If I try and backup a DVD I come by the same code, and it is completely bypassed (because a DVD has no info_type) so I see no entry in the menu and can not backup. That is what I see happening. Is that correct? You need to go to the sub-menu (Enter) of a DVD and then select a title and then the sub-menu of a title, you will find it there.

[Freevo-users] freevo unichrome SOLVED
Ok you have been seeing the problem I (and others had with unichrome and freevo). I seem to have got the solution now. A good compile of mplayer 1.0rc1 (for a certain definition of good) and the attached patch for video/plugins/mplayer.py will do the trick (the patch is against freevo 1.6.1). Note I am using a recent unichrome build. Actually the attached freevo patch works for all kinds of video outputs that require a different vo setting for different classes of movies. So if you have a unichrome system (possibly an EPIA board) put this in your local_conf.py in the mplayer section and apply the patch. It tells freevo to use the vo device xvmc:deint-bob with option -vc ffmpeg12mc when playing mpeg2 (the bob deinterlace option I found to be necessary, it will play with less CPU usage without it but the image will be flickery sometimes, so you may try simply xvmc if you want even less CPU usage). For all other movies it will use xvidix using a different kind of hardware acceleration. MPLAYER_VO_DEV_HWACCEL = xvmc:deint-bob MPLAYER_HWACCEL_SUFFIX=[mpeg,mpg,vob] MPLAYER_VO_DEV = xvidix MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS_HWACCEL='-vc ffmpeg12mc' of course as well as having mpeg,mpg,vob in the VIDEO_MPLAYER_SUFFIX list. and put colorkey=0x00 in your .mplayer/config (it always failed when I tried to put it on the command line but this works too) and put libviaXvMC.so.1 in /etc/X11/XvMCConfig Now coming to the point of a good build of mplayer may be simple or hard for you. In all cases you will need some patches. Some exchanges with Davin Desborough and myself have resulted in the following recipe. The first three lines are relevant if you are on Ubuntu or some other debian derivative, of you are on another linux flavour, you need to resolve it in another way. add deb-src to /etc/apt/sources.list if you don't have it sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get build-dep mplayer #OK so we now have all the dependencies sorted wget ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/unix/X11/multimedia/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0rc1.tar.bz2 wget http://wiki.openchrome.org/pipermail/openchrome-users/attachments/20061023/6cdd63fd/mplayer.tar.obj tar xvf mplayer.tar.obj bunzip2 MPlayer-1.0rc1.tar.bz2 tar xvf MPlayer-1.0rc1.tar cd MPlayer-1.0rc1/ patch -p1 -i ../mplayer/MPlayer-1.0rc1-openchrome_xvmc_vld.patch patch -p1 -i ../mplayer/MPlayer-1.0rc1-remove_bobdeint.patch patch -p1 -i ../mplayer/MPlayer-1.0rc1-openchrome_bob.patch ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-xvmc --with-xvmclib=XvMCW make sudo make install OK, you now may be set, or you may be not. Try to play some audio with mplayer. If it sounds good, you are ready. If it sounds horrible you are likely on a VIA C-2 or AMD CPU. There appears to be a bug in mp3lib that is triggered on CPUs with MMX or some such speedup tech. This is fixed in the svn build of mplayer. so check that out in the way indicated on the mplayer site. I tried applying the unichrome patches manually to the svn tree but that failed, so I ended up configuring that tree too with the same options as I built 1.0rc1. When it is configured copy over the mp3lib directory to the 1.0rc1 tree as well as mpcommon.mak . Now build your 1.0rc1 tree again (a make clean before doing that make might not hurt, I guess). I found that the resulting mplayer works just fine. At this point I am using just some 25% of total CPU power on my 600Mhz EPIA board while playing a recorded TV prog (recorded with ivtv). Using mplayer I can stop the show and can resume playback later. Also I found that mplayer is far more responsive to input from the remote control than xine. So after all the hard work I am a happy camper. So I hope this will give you what you need to! BTW: Davin offered to put all of this in a more verbose version in the Wiki so I'll gladly let him have the honor of doing that :-) BTW2: I suggest this patch to be included in the main freevo tree as many people are running freevo on EPIA and other unichrome setups. -- Paul Sijben mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Amersfoort, NL http://www.sijben.net tel:+31 334557522 fax:+31 33 4557523 --- mplayer.py 2006-11-30 17:45:33.0 +0100 +++ mplayer.py-orig 2006-11-28 12:46:11.0 +0100 @@ -53,8 +53,7 @@ def __init__(self): # create plugin structure plugin.Plugin.__init__(self) - if not hasattr(config,'MPLAYER_HWACCEL_SUFFIX'): -config.MPLAYER_HWACCEL_SUFFIX=[] + # register mplayer as the object to play video plugin.register(MPlayer(), plugin.VIDEO_PLAYER, True) @@ -110,13 +109,6 @@ self.item_length = -1 self.item.elapsed = 0 - #XXX PS - VODEV=config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV - VODEVOPTS=config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS - if item.mimetype in config.MPLAYER_HWACCEL_SUFFIX: - VODEV=config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV_HWACCEL - VODEVOPTS=config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS_HWACCEL - if mode == 'file': url = item.url[6
Re: [Freevo-users] update on parallel recording
Duncan, I have changed my recordingserver so it now also creates lockfiles with the video dev appended. I have looked at upsoon and that needs some work to make it work with parallel recording, it does not need to kill the TV viewing if there is another card available for recording (the policy I put into my patched recording server is that it will take the last item in VIDEO_GROUPS first and then work to the start to give TV viewing the best chance of working). So the test should be something like is there a recording coming up? If so, check if there is an equivalent video device available from record_groups, assume the recordserver will use that one and do nothing. That is more work than I can put into it right now. I'll look at that later.

Re: [Freevo-users] update on parallel recording
Euhm, thinking a bit more Wouldn't it be simpler to let the TV viewing app write a lockfile of the device it is using (so in practice something like viewing.video0). Then let ivtv_record test for that file when it wants to use that video device. If the device is needed for recording, send a STOP to the TV viewing thread and use the device. BTW: I can not find any checks for recording lockfiles in ivtv_xine_tv where is checked if you are not ruining a recording in progress by starting to watch TV?

Re: [Freevo-users] update on parallel recording
I don't think that you can remove the input from VideoGroups because this can be used to set a different input device, such as the S-Video. that was not what I meant. I meant I can not pick it from videogroups when I am creating the lockfile. Also you should be aware that it may not be a desirable feature if two cards come from two different sources, such as Analogue and DVB-S, so there needs to be a way to turn it off. I think using the record_group is the best way. You may be right but at this point I am confused. Could you explain to me the current definition of record_group (and the context of video_groups) and in the in the case of a setup where one may have a PVR-500, used for parallel recording on analogue and a DVB card. An example of video_groups in that setting would also help me a lot I think BTW: I can not find any checks for recording lockfiles in ivtv_xine_tv where is checked if you are not ruining a recording in progress by starting to watch TV? ivtv_xine_tv is new on 1.6 and may never have been implemented.

[Freevo-users] xine speed patch
attached is a quick patch I did for xine. It allows the playback speed
to be changed with the skip and prev keys on your remote.
this may be useful to others too ;-)
BTW: I have got a similar patch for mplayer (1.0rc1) but I am only be
able to speed up the sound with that, not the video. Is that supposed to
happen???

Re: [Freevo-users] update on parallel recording
Do you keep track of the VideoGroup index? IFAICS this is all you need, with this you have the video device and hence the lockfile name. actually I keep track of the device too. So returning the vdev chosen back to the record server was no problem Also you should be aware that it may not be a desirable feature if two cards come from two different sources, such as Analogue and DVB-S, so there needs to be a way to turn it off. I think using the record_group is the best way. You may be right but at this point I am confused. Could you explain to me the current definition of record_group (and the context of video_groups) and in the in the case of a setup where one may have a PVR-500, used for parallel recording on analogue and a DVB card. The record_group is an index into the VideoGroup list, starting at 0. If the record_group is not None then it uses this VideoGroup to record. The first group, by default, is the play-back group but this can be overridden in the TV_CHANNELS list. An example of video_groups in that setting would also help me a lot I think I gave you one, but here is again, this time adjusted. the reason I asked was because I got really confused when you threw in the DVB card too. I agree it is a reasonable scenario, I was just wondering how you propose to describe that. VideoGroup(vdev = '/dev/video0', vvbi = '/dev/vbi0', adev = '/dev/adsp', input_type = 'tuner', input_num = 0, tuner_norm = CONF.tv, tuner_chanlist = CONF.chanlist, desc = 'PVR-500 Play (2nd Record) Group', group_type = 'ivtv', record_group = 1), VideoGroup(vdev = '/dev/video1', vvbi = '/dev/vbi1', adev = '/dev/adsp', input_type = 'tuner', input_num = 0, tuner_norm = CONF.tv, tuner_chanlist = CONF.chanlist, desc = 'PVR-500 Record Group', group_type = 'ivtv', record_group = 0), VideoGroup[0] is the play-back group, the record_group points to VideoGroup[1] and in this example it points back to the first group (At the moment it would be None) Clearer?

Do you really need a patch for mplayer?
Adding this to local_conf.py does fast play back.

You can't have reverse playback, shame, but it is possible to slow it down.

OK, I currently create lockfiles that have the form record.VIDEO_GROUPS_index, I can let the recording start code deliver the videodevice too (I need the index to stop the correct recording) - I think conflict resolution needs a bit more refinement - is there an elegant way (or even a need) to allow parallel recording over multiple card types? BTTV and saa713x cards use a raw video stream, which in turn needs encoding in real-time (The raw files are massive, 27Mb/sec). Real-time software encoding on more than one channel would put a very high load on the system, but I've not tried it. OK, I'll cheerfully forget it for now.

(indeed this could use with some refining) Note: I am pretty sure I broke some system that handles interaction between TV viewing and recording. I'm interested to get some feedback from anybody who has tried Paul's changes, if some of you are using this and others want to use it then I'm more than happy to add the changes into rel-1.

[Freevo-users] ivtv unichrome tips
All, I was suffering from two issues when recording and playing back TV on my freevo, in the past 24 hours I resolved both of them. You may benefit from this too (PAL, VIA EPIA/UNICHROME deployment): 1) overly saturated video resulting in badly readable text etc). IVTV issue. The default settings of the driver are not optimal (at least for me) ivtvctl --set-ctrl=contrast=45 -d /dev/video0 # so lower the default value ivtvctl --set-ctrl=brightness=180 -d /dev/video0 #compensate the overall image fixed this for me (no it won't take multiple control settings on one line), btw, I also set the audio to something more sensible. (ivtvctl -y volume=65535 -d /dev/video0) Also found that too many of these control calls in too short a time is bad too. when you put these in a script, sleep1 between the commands helps. 2) pixelated video on scene changes. Openchrome issue. get the latest source through svn, compile and install, was the solution for me. have fun Paul -- Paul Sijben mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Amersfoort, NL http://www.sijben.net tel:+31 334557522 fax:+31 33 4557523 - Take Surveys.

On the other hand, I have no idea what it takes to decode h.264 at HD resolutions - but at SD resolutions, my athlon-xp 1600 does just fine. both support spdif out at 44.1 and 48khz, the msi board also does 96 and 192khz and at 20 and 24 bits. Asus warns that their DVI connector does not support the common dongles that convert DVI to RGB for analog monitors, and that you cannot use the VGA port and TV-Out ports simultaneously. This is odd, but probably not an issue for htpc use. The MSI board probably has the same restrictions - I'm guessing it's a chipset thing. athlon64 processors are as quiet as you make 'em. My 2-year-old 3500+ runs quite cool, so it should be possible to make a very quiet, feature-rich system with either of these boards. They both retail for about $90. The cheapest AM2 sempron is about $40 and may or may not be enough for HDTV. the cheapest full athlon64 is about $85, and is certainly enough for HDTV. The cheapest dual-core athlon64 is about $150 and probably massive overkill. Other motherboard makers may have similar boards. Looks like good hardware to me. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

However, losing data like that should happen in the same way on a 350 too. Or does the 150 have much less buffer capacity? Or am I missing something else here?

Re: [Freevo-users] DVB recording questions
Harri, I do not know anything about how DVB devices appear in Linux. However if they appear as v4l devices /dev/videoX..X+n then you may benefit from the multirecording posting I did to this list Friday night. That was a quick patch for ivtv devices but you can take the same files and apply a similar patch to the dvb plugin, I guess.

[Freevo-users] multi-recording patch for 1.6
I got my second PVR card. So I now have a hauppauge PVR-350 and a PVR-150. I hacked recordserver and ivtv_record (and a bit in channels) so make it so that I can now record two channels at the same time! I must say the hack was rather straightforward due to the good structure of freevo! (kudos to the authors!) The files are attached and will give the desired result with the following in local_conf.py: VIDEO_GROUPS = [ VideoGroup(vdev=/dev/video0, adev=None, input_type='tuner', # input_num=0, tuner_norm=CONF.tv, tuner_chanlist=CONF.chanlist, desc='Cable', group_type='ivtv', record_group=None), VideoGroup(vdev=/dev/video1, adev=None, input_type='tuner', # input_num=0, tuner_norm=CONF.tv, tuner_chanlist=CONF.chanlist, desc='Cable', group_type='ivtv', record_group=None) ] Now I must say that I have cut some corners to get to this result this quickly. 1) I assumed all cards are of the same type (ivtv). 2) I assumed conflicts would occur rarely now, so I simply kill the first show on the first card in case of conflicts. 3) I don't watch TV through freevo so I am not too fussed if there now is undesired interaction between TV viewing and recording (along the lines of the lockfiles, I am sure I broke something there) So I do not recommend these changes for inclusion into general codebase as is. It will need some cleanup to make less assumptions about the environment.. For the time being I plan to see if this works in practice. Anyone who wishes to try the code just move the files attached to the correct places (of course save the originals!!) and go ahead. channels lives in tv ivtv_record lives in tv/plugins recordserver in helpers enjoy Paul -- Paul Sijben mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Amersfoort, NL http://www.sijben.net tel:+31 334557522 fax:+31 33 4557523 # -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*- # --- # channels.py - Freevo module to handle channel changing. # --- # $Id: channels.py 8347 2006-10-11 08:37:57Z duncan $ # # Notes: # Todo: # # --- # Freevo - A Home Theater PC framework # Copyright (C) 2003 Krister Lagerstrom, et al. # Please see the file freevo/Docs/CREDITS for a complete list of authors. # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but # WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MER- # CHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

[Freevo-users] freevo on UNichrome (was: Re: ivtv and via unichrome tv-out interference???)
Small addition:
make sure you select the right hardware accelerated vo devices for xine
and mplayer, in local_conf.py:
MPLAYER_VO_DEV = "xvidix"
XINE_VO_DEV = 'xxmc'
and put colorkey=0x00 in your .mplayer/config file
(haven't been able to make that work from local_conf.py but this works
just as well).

[Freevo-users] VIDEO_GROUPS in 1.6
I am expecting my second capture card today (also ivtv) and have been reading up on the Wiki on how to configure that to get two shows to be recorded at the same time. The text in the wiki did not help me much so I looked at the source. fc = FreevoChannels() if DEBUG: print 'CHAN: %s' % fc.getChannel() (v_norm, v_input, v_clist, v_dev) = config.TV_SETTINGS.split() v = tv.ivtv.IVTV(v_dev) v.init_settings() vg = fc.getVideoGroup(self.prog.tunerid, False) if DEBUG: print 'Setting Input to %s' % vg.input_num v.setinput(vg.input_num) if DEBUG: print 'Setting Channel to %s' % self.prog.tunerid fc.chanSet(str(self.prog.tunerid), False) This suggests to me that the capture device is tied to a channel and not allocated dynamically based on availability. Is that correct? Or am I simply missing something and can I get what I want with a suitably crafted VIDEO_GROUPS construct?

OK thanx so I won't spend more time looking :-) Let's see if I can hack it into 1.6 because I really start to need it.

Correct, the multi-tuner support in freevo 1 series is only to allow recording and watching simultaneously. AFAIK freevo 2 will allow recording from two or more cards simultaneously.
