Re: [Freevo-users] video.xine.py issues
Xine-lib implements all media handling, codecs, input/output, OSD and also the ivtv livepause (buffering) functionality. Xine-ui depends on xine-lib and adds just a gui and command line interface. Freevo uses the xine application (=xine-lib + xine-ui) through that command line interface. So yes, we currently do need xine-ui to use the features of xine-lib. As Andreas points out, it would be perfectly feasible to implement our own interface to xine-lib, or to use a python binding to control xine-lib directly. Xine-lib is a well maintained piece of software (unlike xine-ui, apparently). Freevo could head that way if there is an enthousiast developer with some spare time.

If you are using the svn version of freevo, then you should use the cvs version of xine-ui and patch it with 'freevo/runtime/patches/xine-ui-record-menu.patch'. That will give you more control over the OSD font color and size (in ~/.xine/config). It also fixes a bug that may freeze/crash xine. And, an OSD menu will be available to choose record modes. The 'smoothliness' Duncan mentions is probably caused by the live record feature. Xine uses a buffer internally for the (ivtv) pvr feature and on every channel change, a 'mark' is set in this buffer. Xine then flushes the buffer to disk and starts a new buffer. Cheers, Richard. -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In fact, xine has 3 modes for live recording: 1. save all since the stream started 2. save all from "now on" 3. save all since a specific mark, up to a next mark. The mark has to be set by the user. I implemented the third method. Every time you change channels (up/down or by number), a new 'start mark' is set in the stream. This mark will also be set automatically when, according to the EPG, a new program/show starts on the current channel. When you press 'record', xine will save everything since the last mark up to the next 'start mark'. Thus, freevo saves the part of the stream since you started watching TV, since you chose another channel or since the start of the current program/show; whatever happend most recently. The recording is ended when you change channels, when the show stops according to the EPG, or when you quit watching TV. I hope this is clear. I plan to implement the other two methods too. Patches for xine_ui are ready, I plan to present a menubox in xine to ask the user to choose between the three modes, but the xine_ui developer seems kind of busy the 6 months. I also have some more patches that are pending (improved OSD with fontsizes and color). > >> Currently, I am using > >> 0.99.6 that I built from CVS several months ago.

Is xine eating up the cpu (check with 'top')? If you have a (VIA) unichrome video chipset, check the ~/.xine/config file of the user that runs freevo. There is an entry for saving cpu cycles: video.device.unichrome_cpu_save = 1 This takes down the cpu load from 40% to 10% on my box with xxmc output.

Do you do mean transmitter or receiver? If you actually mean *transmitter*, what are yo using it for in the context of Freevo? I'm using the Marmitek USB/RF PC Remote Control. It is a Radio Frequency receiver device (433 MHz band) that connect via USB. The remote control uses RF signals to communicate, which is better than IR since obstacles do not block the signal. It can be used with lirc. Read www.t3i.nl for more info.

Re: [Freevo-users] runtime config changes
The advantage that XML offers is that it adds the hierarchy that Freevo config files are currently missing. The impact of a erro in XML format is indeed huge, on the other hand. Maybe YAML (posted some days ago) could be an option here. I don't have experience with YAML, but it looks OK, for what I've read from the YAML site. It adds hierarchy without too much tagging.

Re: [Freevo-users] runtime config changes
You definitely don't want to restart freevo after changing configuration settings from within freevo. Remember this annoying behaviour of MS-Windows when you e.g. changed the resolution of the screen? Also, if one changes something and Freevo crashes on restart, then one has no clue where to fix it.

[Freevo-users] New Idea
Hi, I just got a new idea, possibly an enhancement for the tv-guide. The tv-guide's text overview always takes some time to browse. It would be cool to show snapshots of the channels on one screen so that one could see what's on telly immediately. With a picture overview, I think that one could find an "interesting" channel much easier. When implementing the picture version of tvguide, one could just scan all channels configured in freevo and capture one still image and display that in a matrix form. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills and time to program such a module, but I want to share this idea with the community. Maybe someone could pick up this idea ?

Re: [Freevo-users] Buying a TV out card
I never experimented with substitutes for the S-Video cable. I bought one 18 ft and one 60 ft cable from an electro shop, both reasonable good quality (gold-plated connectors etc.) and compared them to a low-end cable. The difference was clearly visible in that the image with the low-end cable is more fussy and less colorfull. This is probably due to the impedance of the cables. Moreover, co-axial cables have 75 Ohms impedance (if I remember correctly) to temper reflections of the signal so that would render them useless over a longer distance. Richard. Shaun Jackman wrote: For my own curiosity, what composes an S-Video cable? I understand there are two signal conductors (luminosity and colour) each with their own ground in a shielded cable. Is each analog signal twisted around its ground? If so, could twisted shielded CAT5 work as a substitute? For long runs, would putting each signal on its own co-axial cable and running two co-axial cables be a better plan? I have found it rather hard to find any S-Video cables longer than 12 feet. I eventually found a 25 foot cable. I am uncertain of the quality, but it was literally the only one I found in the city (though I probably don't know the best place to look).

Re: [Freevo-users] Buying a TV out card
I haven't used a Radeon card with tv/out, but did use a PCI Radeon and an AGP NVidia card in a multi-head setting (xinerama) with XFree. I found that it was not possible to use DRI on both cards since the drivers are different, and only one could be loaded at the time. With two NVidia or two Radeon cards this would be no problem. You might want to check if there is an affordable PCI NVidia card and if a dual setup is fully supported then (if you want DRI on both of course). Richard.

Re: [Freevo-users] Re: Better DVB support (C programmers needed)
Maybe I'm missing something here? Xine already has timeshifting and works well with Freevo. Why do you want mplayer instead of xine? Timeshifting works smoothly on my epia (1 GHz) machine (with a pvr-250). Richard. Fons van der Beek wrote: Therefore a suggested way to implement it: -from the programguide: -pressing record -> records the selected program -pressing OK-> start TVtime (or mplayer) as life TV player -Pressing play-> select right channel and start timeshifting implementing functions: I don't think there should be any distinction between timeshifting and no time shifting. After all, practically the point of time shifting is being able to use it when you didn't expect you'd want to. I'am sorry Jason, but there are 2 reasons why there should be a difference ( to my opinion) -When timeshifting, zapping a channel takes to long (the buffer must be filled), everyone wants his freevo box as flexibel as a TV, mostly you don't need timeshifting, when it is needed, just pres "play" et voila: if installed: a little delay and the show is timeshifted! I don't know about you, but a lot of people zap often all channels (I certainly do). and as stated before, the "play button" would make sence to start timeshifting, within freevo it is to my knowledge no problem to capture the button or key. -Timeshifting needs a patch to mplayer either way you do it -a lot of people (freevo users) can't patch their mplayer -Timeshifting needs a faster system, with a bigger harddisk, not all freevo users have such a system Timeshifting remains still a "nice to have" feature but must shoud not interfere with the mainstream usage of freevo. with kind regards , Fons van der Beek --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

However, this file does not exist on my system, there is no /etc/portage directory! I did an "emerge sync" and "emerge portage" to see if it was created... but that did not happen.

[Freevo-users] video / music menu
I have music albums in subdirs of "/video/" and video files in
"/video/". In local_config.py I can set e.g:
DIR_IMAGES = [ ('Images', '/images') ]
But how do tell freevo that it should display the subdirectories in
/images/ when I select Images from the main menu? Same for video... it's
annoying to press enter twice to get into the /video/ or /music/ directory.

[Freevo-users] NEW: hddtemp idlebar plugin
Hi,
I'm just getting started with freevo, so, I've decided to make my first
plugin. It displays harddisk temperatures on the idlebar using hddtemp.
It is capable of polling at a given interval and displays maximun
temperatures of on or more sets of harddisk devices.
The plugin should be put in src/plugins/. See attachment for the script,
instructions for activating it are inside the script. And ... I'm going
to make it look nicer :-)
Let me know about bugs, idea's etc.
- Richard.

Re: [Freevo-users] TV-card -- advice needed
Thanks, I bought one :-) I have it working partly now with ittv and V4L2. However, I'm having problems with setting controls (volume, brightness,...): MyHost # ./test_ioctl -y brightness=0 ioctl: VIDIOC_S_CTRL ioctl: VIDIOC_S_CTRL failed Since mplayer also uses this interface, I cannot use the following command: mplayer -tv device=/dev/video0:driver=v4l2:input=4:freq=216000:normid=1 tv:// Note that "mplayer /dev/video0" works. I can also set frequencies and channels, so the V4L2 interface is working partly. How did you get this working? Or is my V4L2/Ittv approach wrong? - Richard.

Or is there a better option? A PVR-250 will do fine. The difference between the 250 and 350 is that the 250 contains an encoder while the 350 has an encoder, decoder, and tv-out. So, you already have tv-out and an mpeg2 decoder on your mainboard... although the cle266's mpeg decoder is only supported by closed source drivers. Also the decoder which is present on the 350 is not fully supported yet either but the open source ivtv project is well on its way. The M10K mainboard will be fine for recording tv and watching tv and video, even dvds. I have all these things working well on a friend's M10K (with a PVR-250) and I am vey pleased with the results. -Rob --- This SF.net email sponsored by: Enterprise Linux Forum Conference & Expo The Event For Linux Datacenter Solutions & Strategies in The Enterprise Linux in the Boardroom; in the Front Office; & in the Server Room http://www.enterpriselinuxforum.com ___ Freevo-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users --- This SF.net email sponsored by: Enterprise Linux Forum Conference & Expo The Event For Linux Datacenter Solutions & Strategies in The Enterprise Linux in the Boardroom; in the Front Office; & in the Server Room http://www.enterpriselinuxforum.com ___ Freevo-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users

[Freevo-users] TV-guide bug report
Hi,
First I'd want to say that freevo is a great program!
I found a small bug in the TV-guide section. I have a TV.xml listing
(dutch) in which the programming for a certain channel is discontinued
for some time:
Kamerbreed
Studio sport
wielrennen
Programme "Kamerbreed" ends at 12:00 and "Studio Sport" starts at 14:00.
So, from 12:00 to 14:00, there is a blank space in the tv guide (see
http://www.t3i.nl/tmp/snapshot.png for an image). When the next
programme is not shown in the interface (i.e. no ">" is displayed on the
right) then I am not able to jump to that next programme ("Studio Sport"
in this case)! I have to navigate to the right via another channel (thus
pressing down, right, right, up).
Hope this helps, I am not yet able to figure out myself how to fix these
things.
Richard.
