Hi Petter,
I read other advices about xine vs mplayer. Those advices summarized in the
fact that xine gives better results. Anyone can have it's own impression and
judgment about that.

Could it be that your xine is not optimally configured on your system? There
is a lot of config important options (among others: flicking, antialiasing,
deinterlacing...) that can make your visual rendering better under xine.

If you want absolutely use mplayer, you can play with your own record
scripts, and use the freevo generic record plugin instead of the fully ivtv
integrated one. It's up to you. But consider the chance you have, to have a
plugin specially designed for your video capture card.

 Hello

 In my freevo-1.7.3 'box' i have a PVR-150 card, it is configured to use
 the  ivtv_xine_tv plugin for live TV. And the default video player is
 Mplayer. This setup works ok.

 Recently I tested to start a recording and directly after go to the
 recorded shows meny to start watching the show being recorded. It worked
 fine, now with Mplayer playing. Paus, jump back and forward also
 worked.
 Why is it necessary to use the ivtv_xine_tv plugin for live TV?

 One of the reasons for asking is that I get better picture quality with
 Mplayer then with Xine, an other is just curiosity.

Re: [Freevo-users] Better controls in freevo web page for VLC video streaming

Good morning John,
I have posted a question on the videolan forum. Waiting...
BTW, could you give me more info? The video files are streamed by the freevo
http server. Is there a difference between the behavior of our http server
and a more standard one such as Apache?

Re: [Freevo-users] Better controls in freevo web page for VLC video streaming

Hello James,
I agree with you about the meaning of the error, but I still get it, even if
I seek backwards (to see what had normally already been buffered).
I don't know if the vlc plugin is actually able to make pre-buffering (in
the sense of what we can see on the youtube web plugin for example). Perhaps
it downloads packets when they are needed (in a small time window). I would
like to have a confirmation on that point.

Whatever, if your integration of the videolan+seekbar stuffs allows to seek
backwards with success, could you send me the required files so I could test
it on my system?

Is vlc the only opensource player to include a web plugin? I am surprised
that mplayer do not have such feature, considering the emulation of tons of
people around the mplayer project...

Kind Regards,
Pirlouwi.

 I suppose we're hindered by the lack of an indicator showing how much of

Re: [Freevo-users] Better controls in freevo web page for VLC video streaming

Just tried your work afaic.
Good hit! All is functionnal, except for the webremote window : the 3rd icon
column is out of screen on the right - buttons are not centered
horizontally. But if I recall well, it was already the case in 1.7.3.
Did you though about adding a delete option in the media library tab? In the
tv interface it is possible to delete a media, not in the web interface.
This should be added I think.
Also, we should work to integrate the code from the wiki telling us how to
view live tv with vlc. Problem is that it use v4l api, which is not well
supported by all modern capture drivers. But it should be really a killing
feature.

2007-11-10 Thread Pirlouwi

Hello Steven,
the answer is yes: what is needed by Freevo is a well-formed channel list
among other things.
But putting John Doe inside every xmltvid's or simplier  will make the
freevo working, but without tv guide.
In the future you can complete the tv guide configuration when you have
grabbed enough information.

On Nov 10, 2007 2:25 AM, Steven Hunt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Hi Pirlouwi et al,
 I've read those links now, and so I think I can form more specific
 questions:

 1.  I'm in North America, and I remember reading recently that XMLTV is no
 longer alive, due to some issue with the listings no longer being free.  The
 freevo docs say,  *XMLTV is a vital component providing the TV guide and
 must be correctly configured before you continue*.  Is this still true,
 must I have XMLTV configured, even though it will no longer be able to
 successfully retrieve listings?  Suppose I don't care about the tv guide
 feature?

 2.  Now I'm following along with doc.freevo.org/AnalogueGen .  My
 freevo.conf file is setup the way it should be.  The last step then is
 configuring the tv channel list.  In it, you need to specify as one of the
 parameters for each channel, the 'xmltvid'.  Taking my first question into
 consideration, does it matter what I enter into that field?  Can I enter
 fake data and not have anything crash?  (I have not yet done channel
 configuration but I'll try it tonight)

 Thanks again for putting up with me,
 Steven

Re: [Freevo-users] rotating images

2007-11-10 Thread Pirlouwi

Andreas,
I think you can easily change the rotation behavior by swaping two events in
the file Event.py.
You can find this file as a part of Freevo in my system it is in
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/event.py directory.

You must modify lines 443 and 444 in the IMAGE_EVENTS array.
'LEFT'  : Event(IMAGE_ROTATE, arg='left'),
'RIGHT' : Event(IMAGE_ROTATE, arg='right'),
has to become:
'LEFT'  : Event(IMAGE_ROTATE, arg='right'),
'RIGHT' : Event(IMAGE_ROTATE, arg='left'),

Just try this and tell me if it works.
Beware that this change will be overwritten next time you upgrade Freevo.
Cheers,
Pirlouwi.

Re: [Freevo-users] Better controls in freevo web page for VLC video streaming

2007-11-06 Thread Pirlouwi

About the .js external file, I have already done this. If you inspect the
original code from videolan.org, there was some code inside the html file
that was hardcoded inside, and I put it in a .js file. It is a lot easier.
In the .tgz I joined to my email yesterday, these two new .js files are:
vlc_init.js and vlc_funcs.js.
But, it still does not work. I have been using the _debug_(); function
advised by Duncan and I came to the same error given by John in his last
email (type 'exceptions.SyntaxError': invalid syntax (fileinfo.rpy, line
129)).

The error occurs when we want to call the doGo() function, which is defined
inside vlc_funcs.js file.

I am currently in GMT+1 here in Belgium, and we can talk tonight if you
want.
For example, we can meet on irc://irc.freenode.net/freevo around 10:00 PM

Hello, here is the integration I have done so far (see attached file).
This is not working yet, because it seems that in the original source code,
the last script  /script part has to be located in the same window
as the html code.
Problem is that in our case, the html code is located inside a script ...
/script itself.
I don't think a browser can support nested script ... /script
statements, is'nt it?
If someone could try on its freevo, it should perhaps accelerate the process
;-)
Simply make a backup of the fileinfo.rpy file, and put the content of this
.tgz on the same place.
Thx for the help.

[Freevo-users] Better controls in freevo web page for VLC video streaming

2007-11-03 Thread Pirlouwi

I would like to incorporate feature like on this
pagehttp://people.videolan.org/%7Edamienf/plugin-0.8.6.htmlin Freevo
web server.
Do you think it is possible?
I have tried to modify fileinfo.rpy myself to include most of the code I
found in *http://people.videolan.org/~damienf/plugin-0.8.6.html*, but freevo
webserver is always crashing when executing it.
How could I do that?
Does Someone has a good advice on how to put this interresting features
(like the progress and seek bar and the audio control) in Freevo webserver?

  I go on with my generic record plugin use.
  I still have a problem which is the following:
  after the end of the recording, I got three files:
  /var/cache/freevo/vfs/records/10-13_23:15_On_n_est_couch.avi
  /var/cache/freevo/vfs/records/10-13_23:15_On_n_est_couch.fxd.raw
  /records/10-13_23:15_On_n_est_couch.fxd
 
  Problem is that in freevo, I see two files in the records folder.
  10-13_23:15_On_n_est_couch.avi
  On_n_est_couch
 
  The first file is playble and contains the video data (I suppose it is
  the avi file)
  The second file contains the details of the tv broadcasting (I suppose
  it is the fxd file)

 Both files should really be in the same directory, it looks like you're
 writing the avi files to the cache directory.

 Yes the fxd file contains the broadcast programme information.

  Q: how can I merge the two files and see only one file in the records
  directory in the freevo interface?

 Write the avi file to /records/

  I had not this behavior with live-pause plugin. What did I wrong?

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo and HVR-950?

I can be wrong, but I think that the live-pause plugin written by Adam
Charrett is compatible with DVB-T and ATSC.
Just have a look at the Freevo wiki
herehttp://doc.freevo.org/TvPlugins#head-d2fe093c7fc46de55582138af1ff5be8e0669868.
It is greatly better than using the basic generic record plugin.
I don't think that the fact that this board is using an experimental V4l dvb
driver has any influence on Freevo. Any working dvb-t or atsc layer should
be compatible with the DVBStreamer application.
HTH,
Pirlouwi.

 Hi,

 Just wanted to say great work Don on the new configuration tool and the
 log viewer in the webserver. These two features will go a long way
 towards helping freevo's wider adoption. I have barely looked at them
 but will try and test them a bit and give some feedback over the next

Re: [Freevo-users] Problem with tv generic record plugin

Yes, Duncan, thx.
I got some errors inside my sh script, and as sometimes the 2 log file were
not updated (?), I got into troubles.
But it works now.

PS: Whatever, using the generic record plugin is a first step for me,
because I would like to create a cx88 tv plugin. It should be easy to start
from the ivtv plugin, and modify what has to be modified :-) .  What is your
advice?

  What is your VCR_CMD in local_conf.py?

 Have you fixed this?

 If you VCR_CMD is something like:

 VCR_CMD = ( 'record.sh' ... )
 you could change it to either a string
 VCR_CMD = 'record.sh %s %s %s' % (...)
 or add bash to the first item:
 VCR_CMD = ( '/bin/bash', 'record.sh', ... )

 This should fix it.

 BTW you don't need to convert the frequency as it can be passed as a
 argument.

  Hi,
  I want to record the mp2 stream coming from an analog channel on my
  HVR-1300
  board.
  The faster method for me to get an immediate result is to configure the
  VCR_CMD variable, and to load the generic tv recording plugin.
 
  For that, I wrote a script : record.sh taking three arguments: the
 channel
  (ex: E5), the duration in seconds and the name of the file.
  Used alone, the record.sh script works, producing an mpg file.
 
  But used from within freevo, it doesn't work.
  Freevo (1.7.3) is looking like it is recording, and two log files named
 
  record.sh.stderr.log and record.sh.stdout.log are created but remains
  empty.

 Depends if you have any echo commands in your script, it not then they
 will be empty.

  How could I debug this problem?

 Easiest way is to see what arguments are being passed into the script,
 some thing like:
 echo $*
 echo $@
 at the top of the script will print the arguments.

 Then it should be easy.

 You can also use as the first line:
 #!/bin/bash -x
 or
 #!/bin/bash -v
 Which will print out the command that are being executed and the script,
 respectively.

Pirlouwi.

2007/10/5, Duncan Webb [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

  Hough!
  If I use the dvb plugin, I will loose the viewing part, because mplayer
  will
  be called with option dvb:// ? Isn't it?
  I need some more explaination about that?

 True enough, just means that you need to do a bit of Python hacking, look
 for group_type in the source, using the 'dvb' as an example and add a new
 one for 'hvr', with the settings that you need. There should be about two
 places that you would need to add code, tv/plugins/mplayer and in one of
 the recording plug-ins.

   Hi all,
   I would like to build a VCR_CMD string for using with an HVR-1300.

   If I do a cat /dev/video1  test.mpg, I do get a valid mpeg file, so
  my
   question is: what VCR_CMD command should I use inside freevo to
 record
   the hardware-encoded mpeg2 stream, knowing that:
   - i want to keep the ability to stop a recording after a defined time
   - i don't want to transcode the mpeg stream in any way, just save it

   It should be a little like the following, but I am a little bit lost
   with all those mencoder switches
   # VCR_CMD = (CONF.mencoder + ' ' +
   #'tv:// ' +  # New mplayer requires

   I though using mplayer instead of mencoder, because mplayer has a
  lovely
   save-stream-to-file feature, but problem is that I then cannot
  program
   the end of the record (%(seconds)).
   Any help is welcome.
  
   PS: the best for me would be to use the ivtv plugin, but
  unfortunatelly,
   my HVR board seems to not be supported by the ivtv driver. I will not
   get live pause with the normal method, but it is a first integration
   step. In a next effort, I will try to adapt the ivtv plugin for my

  I think that you will need to use the copy stream commands of mencoder,

[Freevo-users] VCR_CMD and Hauppauge HVR-1300

2007-10-04 Thread Pirlouwi

Hi all,
I would like to build a VCR_CMD string for using with an HVR-1300.
I want to record analog channels, using the hardware encoder of the
HVR-1300.

If I do a cat /dev/video1  test.mpg, I do get a valid mpeg file, so my
question is: what VCR_CMD command should I use inside freevo to record the
hardware-encoded mpeg2 stream, knowing that:
- i want to keep the ability to stop a recording after a defined time
- i don't want to transcode the mpeg stream in any way, just save it to disk

It should be a little like the following, but I am a little bit lost with
all those mencoder switches
# VCR_CMD = (CONF.mencoder + ' ' +
#'tv:// ' +  # New mplayer requires this.
#'-tv driver=%s:input=%d' % (TV_DRIVER, TV_INPUT) +
#':norm=%s' % CONF.tv +
#':channel=%(channel)s' +# Filled in by Freevo
#':chanlist=%s' % CONF.chanlist +
#':width=%d:height=%d' % (TV_REC_SIZE[0], TV_REC_SIZE[1]) +
#':outfmt=%s' % TV_REC_OUTFMT +
#':device=%s' % TV_DEVICE +
#VCR_AUDIO + # set above
#' -ovc lavc -lavcopts ' +   # Mencoder lavcodec video codec
#'vcodec=mpeg4' +# lavcodec mpeg-4
#':vbitrate=1200:' + # Change lower/higher, bitrate
#'keyint=30 ' +  # Keyframe every 10 secs,
change?
#'-oac mp3lame -lameopts ' + # Use Lame for MP3 encoding,
must be enabled in mencoder!
#'br=128:cbr:mode=3 ' +  # MP3 const. bitrate, 128
kbit/s
#'-ffourcc divx ' +  # Force 'divx' ident, better
compat.
#'-endpos %(seconds)s ' +# only mencoder uses this so do
it here.
#'-o %(filename)s') # Filled in by Freevo


I though using mplayer instead of mencoder, because mplayer has a lovely
save-stream-to-file feature, but problem is that I then cannot program the
end of the record (%(seconds)).
Any help is welcome.

PS: the best for me would be to use the ivtv plugin, but unfortunatelly, my
HVR board seems to not be supported by the ivtv driver. I will not get live
pause with the normal method, but it is a first integration step. In a next
effort, I will try to adapt the ivtv plugin for my HVR.

Pirlouwi.

Hough!
If I use the dvb plugin, I will loose the viewing part, because mplayer will
be called with option dvb:// ? Isn't it?
I need some more explaination about that?

Re: [Freevo-users] mplayer analog tuning : bad frequency (0.000) set by freevo to mplayer

2007-10-03 Thread Pirlouwi

I found myself the solution to my issue:
My Tuner_Type variable inside local_conf.py was set to external instead
of internal.
Now the freq is correctly set in the mplayer tvcmd variable.
Cheers,
--Pirlouwi.

2007/9/29, Pirlouwi [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Here is the childapp.py traceback when I push on an analog tv channel
 inside freevo:

 childapp.py (139): Running (str)  /usr/bin/mplayer -vo xv  -ao
 oss:/dev/dsp -autosync 100 -nolirc -nojoystick -autoq 100 -screenw 720

 0.000:device=/dev/video0:input=0:norm=PAL:width=640:height=480:outfmt=yty2 
 in shell with pid 6988 priority -5

 I do not see the tv channel on screen, only white noise.
 This is normal because the mplayer freq is set to 0.000 (when I replace
 0.000 by 55.250 for example, the tv picture is well displayed.
 I suppose this is not a bug, but I don't know what config error I made.

 Could someone lead me to the solution?

 PS:
 my config is, quickly said is :

 CONF.chanlist=europe-west
 Tuner_norm=PAL
 group_type='normal'
 TV_CHANNELS = [ (' TF11.kazer.org', 'TF1', 'E5'), ( 'FRA2.kazer.org',
 'FR2', 'E7')]

 If you have connected this to a TV you will need to use 720x576 as the
 pixels are not square on a TV (4:3 aspect has 1.06667:1) 720x1.0667 = 768.

 Try this:

  Will try some googling about this problem too.

 Then you may need to set your geometry to 320x240.

I just posted the patch to the freevo tracker on sourceforge, trying to

I've followed the advice of Duncan for the variables names, because as they

to read for them if it respects their logic.

Happy to gave you help.

  There is support for this card in the kernel (the cx88 driver). It is
 not
 
  yet completely stable as far as I know, so your mileage may vary.
 
 
  I have tried only one VideoGroup with record_group=None, but the error
  is still the same.
  What equivalent shell command could I try to test the setfmt() command
  that fails outside of python and freevo?
  In other words, it seems that the cx8800 is effectively an ivtv driver,
  but how can I detect what is wrong with this ioctl?

 r = fcntl.ioctl(self.device, i32(SET_FMT_NO), val)
 is equivalent to:
 v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video
 and you should also check
 v4l2-ctl --get-fmt-video

 VIDIOC_S_FMT and VIDIOC_G_FMT are basic video4linux commands and should
 work for all cards.

[Freevo-users] HVR-1300 and freevo

2007-09-08 Thread Pirlouwi

Hi freevo-users,
It seems that the HVR-1300 is supported, since march of 2007 by the cx8800
driver, and also in newer kernels by ivtv driver, but I don't know how to
use this driver :

I just compiled today the last stock kernel (2.6.22-6), hoping to have a
better support for this board.

Here is what I found in the make menuconfig :
M Conexant 2388x (bt878 successor) support
M Conexant 2388x DMA audio support
M Blackbird MPEG encoder support (cx2388x + cx23416)
M DVB/ATSC Support for cx2388x based TV cards
M VP-3054 Secondary I2C Bus Support
M Conexant cx23416/cx23415 MPEG encoder/decoder support

The help for the 3rd line is:
CONFIG_VIDEO_CX88_BLACKBIRD:

This adds support for MPEG encoder cards based on the
Blackbird reference design, using the Conexant 2388x
and 23416 chips.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called cx88-blackbird.

The help of the last line is:
CONFIG_VIDEO_IVTV:

This is a video4linux driver for Conexant cx23416 or cx23416 based
PCI personal video recorder devices.

This is used in devices such as the Hauppauge PVR-150/250/350/500
cards.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called ivtv.

We see the mention of the ivtv kernel module.

I must say that the cx88* modules are loaded automatically at boot. Not the
ivtv one.
I then have done a modprobe ivtv after the end of booting of the
2.6.22-6kernel.

No special info inside dmesg:
[ 349.563298] ivtv: START INIT IVTV

[ 349.563298] ivtv: version 1.0.0 (2.6.22.6 SMP mod_unload VIAC7 ) loading
[ 349.563298] ivtv: END INIT IVTV

The lsmod | grep ivtv shows this information:
# lsmod | grep ivtv
ivtv 135184 0
cx2341x13572 2 ivtv,cx88_blackbird
i2c_algo_bit7684 3 ivtv,cx88_vp3054_i2c,cx88xx

v4l2_common18688 7
ivtv,cx88_blackbird,cx2341x,wm8775,cx8800,cx88xx,videodev

My question is the following:
Is the ivtv kernel module only supposed to replace the Blackbird MPEG
encoder support (cx2388x + cx23416) driver?
Or is the ivtv module supposed to replace totally all cx88xx* drivers
(cx88_blackbird, cx88_dvb, ...)
Is a modprobe ivtv enough to make the HVR-1300 working inside freevo?

I am lost among so much information, don't know in which direction to go.
What I want is to use my HVR-1300 with its mp2 encoder inside freevo, with
the ivtv_plugin.

Thx in advance,
_Pirlouwi.

OSD_OVERSCAN_X
OSD_OVERSCAN_Y
have to be replaced by:
OSD_OVERSCAN_X1
OSD_OVERSCAN_X2
OSD_OVERSCAN_Y1
OSD_OVERSCAN_Y2
X1 represents the screen left shift
X2 represents the screen right shift
Y1 represents the screen upside shift
Y2 represents the screen bottom shift.

In my config, the values are:
OSD_OVERSCAN_X1 = 40
OSD_OVERSCAN_X2 = 65
OSD_OVERSCAN_Y1 = 35
OSD_OVERSCAN_Y2 = 35
which places the freevo screen exactly on the right position on my CRT
television, except that it does not work for image viewing. The images are
still cut, and the OSD_OVERSCAN feature do not change this fact.

 Hello Stephen,

 I have the same problem at home, and I wrote for that a little patch for
 freevo 1.7.1, which I adapted to 1.7.3. Here it is (in attachment). Could
 you test it on your configuration?

 I think I discovered a little bug, which I already have corrected in my
 patch :

 in /skins/main/xml_skin.py
  def rect(self, type):
  if type == 'screen':
 return (self.x - config.OSD_OVERSCAN_X, self.y -
 config.OSD_OVERSCAN_X,

 I think that the second occurrence of OSD_OVERSCAN_X should be replaced by
 OSD_OVERSCAN_Y, to be coherent with self.y.

 _Pirlouwi.

  The problem is this is TV out - not VGA. Its not a simple case of
  tweaking with xvidtune a small fraction and having the monitor re-sync.
  I've tried vid tune and all I get is horribly non-synced output, and the
 
  danger of damaging my TV ;)

Re: [Freevo-users] ivtv problem with HVR-1300

2007-09-07 Thread Pirlouwi

I have seen in ivtv-devel mailing list:
Re: [ivtv-devel] Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1300 Milos Prudek Tue Mar 13 12:13:23
2007

  is Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-300 card supported by ivtv? Are there any plans
  to support it?

 There is support for this card in the kernel (the cx88 driver). It is not
 yet completely stable as far as I know, so your mileage may vary.


I have tried only one VideoGroup with record_group=None, but the error is
still the same.
What equivalent shell command could I try to test the setfmt() command that
fails outside of python and freevo?
In other words, it seems that the cx8800 is effectively an ivtv driver, but
how can I detect what is wrong with this ioctl?

Here is my local config now:
VIDEO_GROUPS = [
 VideoGroup(vdev='/dev/video0',
adev='/dev/adsp',
input_type='Composite1',
input_num='1',
tuner_type='external',
tuner_norm='PAL',
desc='Entree Video Composite',
group_type='ivtv',
record_group=None
  )
]

TV_CHANNELS = [
   ('Composite', 'Composite Input', ''),
]



 Are you sure that the HVR-1300 is supported by the ivtv driver?

 First, can you try with just one VideoGroup as only one per tuner/vdev
 is supported and change record_group=None.

 IIRC it is possible to record from the tuner and composite inputs but
 I'm not sure how this has been done. Possible with the VCR_PRE and POST
 commands and calling the ivtv control tool (v4l2-ctl)

[Freevo-users] ivtv problem with HVR-1300

I was a little nervous, and wanted to integrate it into my freevobox (1.7.3),

inputs.

Re: [Freevo-users] Trouble with cds/dvds

2007-08-09 Thread Pirlouwi

Simple guess: do you installed svn version of kaa-metadata?
I got this problem before: mminfo was not compiled for dvd support.  Perhaps
it is the case for you too.
To verify this fact, just launch mminfo command with debug switch to see
more traces. You will get relevant information, and will see if you have a
bad mminfo version.

 Hi!
 Thanks for a great peice of software!
 I'm having some trouble getting the dvd:s/cd:s to play using freevo.

 When ever i put a dvd in my drive the gui shows:
 Drive DVD-1 (no disc)

 Playing the dvd directly from mplayer works great.

 If i choose to play the dvd anyway i get the following:

 No action defined for this choice!

 The log shows the following:

 Exception in thread Thread-2:

 line 460, in identify

 ---

 When playing cd:s freevo downloads the correct info from freedb (or
 somewhere). But when i play the cds all freevo does is to skip to the next
 song without playing anything. Playing mp3:s works great!

 ---

 Also i have a 24x4 row lcd display connected to my freevo box. Can anyone
 tell me how to enable it? I'm currently running it in 20x4 mode in order
 to get it to display any data. Which configuration files do i have to
 change in order to enable the last four characters?

 Thanks!

 /Peter

 Hi there,

 I´m about to build a new freevo box, and I´m thinking about a new case.
 I´m looking for a quiet and small machine. It seems that shuttle makes
 nice cases (and expensive).  Zalman also make nice (and bigger) cases.
 Does anyone has experience with these? Or has a recommendation for
 something else?

 My current requirements are: if the case comes with a motherboard it has
 to accept a intel core 2 duo. Remote control (or a place to put the
 sensor), a quiet PSU, and a VFD.

[Freevo-users] Fwd: DVD does not start automatically as it did before

2007-07-04 Thread Pirlouwi


Again, thx you all for giving me information.
LOUIS

2007/7/2, Duncan Webb [EMAIL PROTECTED]:


 Hi Duncan.
 I resolved my issue. The video.xine plugin was not activated anymore. I
 think this was due to a problem/bug inside live_pause plugin.

live tv is a different plug-in, not related to video.xine .

 My workaround
 is currently to put plugin.activate('video.xine') inside local_conf.py
 file.

IIRC plugin.activate('video.xine') should not be active by default and
putting this in local_conf.py is the correct place. I hope you leave
freevo_config.py alone otherwise updates, except svn update, overwrite
freevo_config.py.

 In fact, as xine plugin was not active (as it is normally by default),
 xine
 was never used, even when I forced it by choosing xine as my default
video
 player.

Glad you sorted this out.
Duncan

 There are several things to try
 1) Eliminate the possibility of the problem being caused by a specific
 DVD, try several different DVDs. There are some DVDs that have been
 messed up by the mastering as a sort of *ineffective* copy protection
 system.

 2) Try an audio CD and see if this plays.

 3) Eliminate xine, set your preferred player to mplayer and see if this
 changes anything.

 4) If you can program a little bit of python look at the
 src/plugins/rom_drives.py code where it handles the event
IDENTIFY_MEDIA
 and add print statements after each if statement and to check what
 freevo is trying to do with the DVD. You will see that freevo is
 checking audio first and then video. eg:

 if media.type == 'audio':
 # disc marked as audio, play everything
 print 'audio cd'
 etc.

 You can do the code changes in the site-packages/freevo directory and
 then next time you upgrade they will be overwritten, should not be
 overwritten when doing a python setup.py install unless rom_drives has
 changed.

is currently to put plugin.activate('video.xine') inside local_conf.py
file.
In fact, as xine plugin was not active (as it is normally by default), xine
was never used, even when I forced it by choosing xine as my default video
player.
LOUIS


There are several things to try

1) Eliminate the possibility of the problem being caused by a specific
DVD, try several different DVDs. There are some DVDs that have been
messed up by the mastering as a sort of *ineffective* copy protection
system.

2) Try an audio CD and see if this plays.

3) Eliminate xine, set your preferred player to mplayer and see if this
changes anything.

4) If you can program a little bit of python look at the
src/plugins/rom_drives.py code where it handles the event IDENTIFY_MEDIA
and add print statements after each if statement and to check what
freevo is trying to do with the DVD. You will see that freevo is
checking audio first and then video. eg:

if media.type == 'audio':
# disc marked as audio, play everything
print 'audio cd'
etc.

You can do the code changes in the site-packages/freevo directory and
then next time you upgrade they will be overwritten, should not be
overwritten when doing a python setup.py install unless rom_drives has
changed.

[Freevo-users] Cannot playback .ts recorded tv with xine

2007-06-26 Thread Pirlouwi


Hello,
I want to display recorded tv (.ts files) with xine, but I got the message:
no reader for this element (or smthng like this, my interface is in fr).
although have I configured the VIDEO_XINE_SUFFIX variable by adding 'ts'
entry in it.
If I do the same with VIDEO_MPLAYER_SUFFIX, it works.
I prefer xine because the audio is more in sync with the video.
I have verified that xine was able to display .ts video from command line.
My problem is that freevo does not display any error on log file.

[Freevo-users] DVD does not start automatically as it did before

2007-06-24 Thread Pirlouwi


I don't know what has changed in my config, and therefore need I your help.
When my freevo is in the first menu, and that I close the dvd drive with a
commercial dvd in it, I expect the dvd to start playing with xine.
It did before, but not anymore.
In place, the freevo screen shows this information:

  Piste1
  8 min
  8 Audiotracks
  32 Subtitles
  [kaa.metadata.video.core.Chapter , kaa.metadata...
.

Lire le Titre 2
...
..


My first idea was that kaa was corrupted. I then grab from svn the last
version of kaa from freevo.sf.net, and python setup.py installed it. This
had no influence.
I verified that xine was able to play dvd. It does it well, as well as
mplayer.
I verified that libdvdnav, libdvdcss and libdvdread are installed.
Except this error when starting xine dvd://
libdvdread: Could not open /dev/hdb1 with libdvdcss.
libdvdread: Can't open /dev/hdb1 for reading
libdvdread: Device /dev/hdb1 inaccessible, CSS authentication not available.
libdvdnav:DVDOpenFilePath:findDVDFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO failed
libdvdnav:DVDOpenFilePath:findDVDFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.BUP failed
libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.9 for DVD access

There is also a strange thing: in the xine GUI interface (that appears when
pressing g) I see all plugins buttons in double, like this:
[vcd][vcd][dvd][dvb][dvb][cd][cd]
I launched synaptic and uninstall/reinstall xine-ui  libxine completely,
but without something better. Perhaps the problem reside in xine config
file?
What is your advice?

Hi,
In Belgium, we have a channel (RTBF SAT) which is not listed in common tv
guide websites.
I have written a tv guide extractor in perl for grabbing this information

My problem is that the resulting xml file contains special characters,
despite the fact that I already converted the strings in UTF-8 format.
What must I do additionally for my content to be parsed by freevo code

Hello,
I am testing the new version of dvbstreamer, which support budget dvb-t usb2

Pausing as well as recording is OK.
But when I want to view a finished recording, freevo tells me that I have no
player configured for this kind of file (.ts).
Without the livepause plugin, I can see .ts files, and with mplayer or xine
can I see .ts files from a terminal command.
What's wrong?
The plugin or my config.
I suppose this is my config, but I do not know what is wrong then.
Could you help me a bit?

No this I had already tried, but was not working.
But don't mind, because finally, I found another display plugin for vdr:
vdr-plugin-xineliboutput
It relies only on a patched version of xine-ui, which seems to be more
accepted by my Ubuntu Feisty. There is not requirement to patch
libxine1 library. More details for this vdr plugin on the vdr wiki.

Next step for me: configuring vdr to work with my Freecom DVB-T stick,
and integrating vdr into my 1.7.2 freevo.
I heard there is a freevo plugin for that.
Will try to update our wiki when all will be ok.

Hello everybody,
has someone experience to share about the use of vdr application inside
freevo?

First of all, I have to install vdr, and use it through xine as output
device, because I only have a budget dvb-t hardware. So I have to
patch xine for it to recognize vdr mrl (as it is explained here:
http://vdr.bluox.org/wiki/index.php/Xine-plugin#Installation). This is
done without problems, because at http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/ I can
get the cvs versions of xine-lib and xine-ui that match the given
patch.

My problem is for me to install xine-lib and xine-ui after compilation !
How can I do that, knowing that I already had xine installed before on
my Ubuntu feisty, via apt-get. A simple : sudo make install do not
work (evident, otherwise I wouldn't have wrote this email :-)
I suppose that I should only uninstall xine, but I don't know which
package to remove.
Whatever I do, I have no success, my self compiled xine always crash,
either due to plugins not found, or core dumps, ... ! It is a mess,
and i need some help to continue.

I feel that my problem is the previous footprint induced by the
former xine (installed by apt-get), but I don't know how to circumvent
that.

Thanks for your advices.

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo 1.7.2 TV guide problem with python 2.5

2007-06-12 Thread Pirlouwi


I already exchanged some mail with Duncan about a similar problem. It was
occuring when I wanted to reencode a .ts file in divx format. Sometimes, my
.ts file (produced by mplayer during a dvb-t record) did not had any length
attribute. I do not know why. Though, this problematic TS file was playing
ok.
Could you perform a mminfo command on this TS file and give it to us as
response to this thread? I wonder if this is also a length parameter issue.
PS: Duncan has removed the code for the length attribute in the svn version,
in the case of reencoding, because it was not used in this case, to avoid
such error.
Thx you.

Just worked out this is coming from kaa.metadata. It would appear that

browsing recorded TV files I get the error for each of the bad files.

Nothing serious as they all work, and the new ones I've recorded since
1.7.2 are all fine.

2007-06-02 Thread Pirlouwi


Hi,
I choose to run freevo via a .xsession script, which means that my gdm does
not launch a gnome session, but launch freevo instead.
Moreover, I have configured an autologin user in xorg.conf, so that freevo
is started just after boot.

This situation gives me a problem concerning the automounting of usb
storages or cdrom,
as freevo is not a window manager, the usb flash drives (usb sticks, or
cameras) are not automounted any more, which is a problem because freevo do
not see it.

What can I do to correct that?

I have tried the USB_HOTPLUG hack, but the mounting is not working with it,
and moreover, as the /dev/sdxy can change between two plugs of the device,
it is quite difficult to write a generic mount command.
I heard about udev for permanent mount names, I heard about autofs for
automounting of hotplugged filesystems, ... ok, but I struggle with that for
a week, and it is not working up to now.  Also, I ask myself if autofs will
not interfere with the existing automounting feature of gnome in a standard
gnome session (for example if I connect to my mediacenter pc via a remote x
session).

What I want finally, is the sd card of my camera to be browsable by freevo
when I plug the usb cable of the camera.

Thx for your help.

Re: [Freevo-users] Xine and DVD Menus

2007-06-01 Thread Pirlouwi

What do you do to have DVD autoplays just after inserting it?


2007/5/31, Stephen Rowles [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 I run freevo -fs on X and it just works for me with xine playing DVD's

 Insert DVD, if on main menu dvd autoplays to main menu.

 Freevo events Left, Right, Up, Down navigate the menu's just fine (I
 send those from my infrared remote control). Pressing OK (which I think
 is mapped to Play) works for enter.

 I guess cursor keys are the default left, right etc. so it should work fine.

  Hi,
 
  Does Xine play DVDs with their menus when freevo is running as the

  menus with the numeric keypad?
 
  At the moment I've got an overcomplicated setup running Freevo,
  evilwm, and remapped keys using Xmodmap and xines own config, and was
  wondering if I could just have freevo control everything and it would
  'just work'.
 
  Thanks

[Freevo-users] How to bind audio channel and subtitle change with a key of the remote

2007-06-01 Thread Pirlouwi


I would like to press a button or two on my IR remote command, and switch
from audio channel, or switch from subtitle language in the DVD displayed by
xine.
Is it possible?
Which event should I configure in freevo?

[Freevo-users] video.mplayervis plugin??

2007-05-31 Thread Pirlouwi

video.mplayervis plugin is delivered with 1.7.2 release.
I suppose that this is because it is functionnal, otherwise it should
not be part of the delivery.
But when I activate it, I get an error because I don't has pygoom installed.
Wanted to install pygoom, but it is not available any more from freevo.sf.net.
any info about that?

Re: [Freevo-users] freevo incompatible with m3u files generated under MS-Windows

2007-05-31 Thread Pirlouwi


From the playlist module the m3u files are checked for a '\r\n' and if
found then backslashes are converted to forward slashes, so it should
work.

This means that if you are not getting your m3u files to work then they
don't have a cr/lf at the end of the line. You can check this with:
od -c /path/to/m3u

You can try this patch:
Index: src/playlist.py

Huh, I looked in this file, but not at the right place!
Thx for this so simple and working patch
NB: perhaps would it be better to replace \ every time, despite the chance
to have a \ in a filename or a dirname. MSDOS files are not always using
CRLF scheme.

Or another cleaner solution should to add a
config.PLAYLIST_FORCE_BACKSLASH_REPLACE config variable in the configuration
files.
Here is a patch for it:

The PLAYLIST_FORCE_BACKSLASH_REPLACE variable must be set to 0 in
freevo_conf.py, and can be inserted in local_conf.py and set to 1.
Do you thing this patch is of interrest for the majority of freevo users?

[Freevo-users] games not playable in freevo

2007-05-31 Thread Pirlouwi


Hello,
i just tried to setup some games in freevo.
So for my first try, I just looked in the freevo-users list and got this
configuration excerpt:

GAMES_ITEMS = [ ('Tux Racer', '/etc/freevo/games/ppracer',
   ('GENERIC', '/usr/games/ppracer', '', '', [ 'ppracer' ] )),
   ('Sudoku', '/etc/freevo/games/ksudoku',
   ('GENERIC', '/usr/games/ksudoku', '', '', [ 'sudoku' ] ))
]

so I copy/paste it simply into my local config after having installed
ppracer and ksudoku via apt-get.
The result (in freevo) was:
Ce répertoire est vide (directory empty in english).
No game is launched. What did I wrong?
NB: these two games work well outside of freevo.

Re: [Freevo-users] deinterlacing settings


http://www.mail-archive.com/freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg14132.html


2007/5/29, Daniel Lawson [EMAIL PROTECTED]:


Hi all,

I'm having problems getting deinterlacing to be activated correctly.  I
recorded 4 things over the
weekend, the 1st and 3rd were correctly identified as needing
deinterlacing by default, the 2nd
and 3rd were identified as not needing deinterlacing.  What is freevo
doing here to detect
interlaced video?!?

Although I am watching on a TV, there is still some blurring when
watching interlaced video and
I want all recorded video to be displayed as deinterlaced by default.  Of
course, I can just
enable de-interlacing on a file by file basis but that is a pain and I
often forget.  But is there
a way to force all files in (e.g.) the TV folder to be deinterlaced, and
downloaded content to be
left as is?  Or make freevo's interlace detection work correctly?

Cheers

Daniel

[Freevo-users] playing .flv with mplayer from freevo interface


Hello,
I am able to play .flv files from command line with:

$ mplayer  aFile.flv

Problem is that .flv files are not displayed in the video directory.
Freevo simply displays a nothing to display when I enter the directory
where my .flv files are stored.

Is there a configuration trick to do in order to list .flv files within
freevo?

Sorry,
that's the first thing I tried, because it was evident.
But it doesn't work.
