[Freevo-users] some dvb questions: How to config TV channels with no epg data (TV.xml), How to configure two record tv cards (dvb,pvr250) ?
Hi freevo users, I bought a cheap dvb card (twinhan) and it works fine so far. I fetch the xml epg data every night and replace the old TV.xml automatically. I want to configure the TV module with more channels than in the TV.xml is included (some channels don't have epg entries). Is there a simple solution or have I to insert the channels in the TV.xml everyday and local_config manually ? second question: I own now the pvr250 for analog tv and the dvb-s for digital recordings. I want to record with both cards and configure the recordserver, webserver and freevo record scheduler with both cards. Each time I select a recording I want to choose the specific card or the card should be automatically recognized if the channel is only configured for one card. Is this already possibly with freevo (and video groups) or possible in future time ? third question: I noticed that mplayer has a great osd menu (has to be configured in menu.conf). With a dvb-mplayer config I can watch dvb-s live and also switch the channels with lirc or the keyboard (h,k) and ofcourse I have a dvb channel menu with the osd menu. last Question: If I watch TV and the recording starts, will freevo automatically close the TV live program and start recording ? BTW live watching and recording on the same transponder and different polarisation is possible and would be nice. thanx for answers, Thomas PS: I noticed that vdr will be the better one for dvb, but I have a budget card and want to use it for recordings and sometimes watching tv. Freevo is now nice at my box and well configured - I don't want to change to vdr or use the plugin (and the softmpeg output plugin is in development status). myconfig: XP1700, 384MB Ram (DDR266), KT266 Board (matx) Matrox G400 framebuffer tvout twinhan dvb-s VisionDTV Plus Hauppauge PVR250 SB Live with digital I/O extension for optical digital output to my yamaha amp 2 samsung harddisk (120 GB,160 GB) 1 seagate system harddisk (80 GB) Kernel 2.4.27 (v4l2, i2c patched) with latest stable dvb modules --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?

Re: [Freevo-users] Re: Passing mplayer-options through an fxd-file
Ok, just looking for help in the list and didn't find any I created a mplayer option for my movie on my own. I get it to work with a movie file, maybe this helps also for streams. I'm also interested in importing some internet live video streams. So I used the variants option in the fxd file as described on the wiki website. ?xml version=1.0 ? freevo movie title=Test video file id=f1test.mpg/file /video variants variant name=Cropped test mplayer-options=-vf crop=358:332:62:122 part ref=f1/part /variant /variants /movie /freevo Don't use special characters directly in the fxd files and read the freevo main log files for errors.

[Freevo-users] tvtime,soundblaster,mapping to the wanted line out (digital to my amp)
Hi folks, simple question (not only topic of freevo) but I didn't find an answer yet: My problem is, that my stereo amp is plugged to the digital out of my soundblaster live. I'm using tvtime (bttv,hauppauge) and the line-in of the sb live. Now I want the tv audio output to both outputs of my sb live. But I don't know how to set this up. The only solution was a special sox command with a fifo to remap and upsample the sound but this sounds very ugly and is high cpu loaded. thanks, Thomas --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.

[Freevo-users] hwac3 (sb live pass through) option auto detection or switch/falling back during playback possible ?
Hello freevo fans, my problem: I've spent my sb live an Hoontech I/O III extension with optical digital out. Passing through with mplayer to my ac3 receiver and the -ac hwac3 options works fine, if the audio stream of the movie is an ac3 track. But if I enable the options permanently in local_conf.py, I get no sound from avi movies with non ac3 tracks (eg. lame mp3 encoded ones). So I'm wondering if there is a solution for my problem. My Ideas: Some options should be configurable in the freevo frontend. Maybe a lirc command could change the option with my remote. Switching this during playback would be nice or maybe an auto detection by mplayer but this wouldn't be safe (I guess) - or fallback to non hwac3, when audio codec detection fails. Any ideas or solutions around ? thanks, Thomas my system: 1.7GHZ Athlon XP, Gigabyte matx board, 384MB dxr3,sb live with digital IO extension, Hauppauge WinTV Realmagic Remote (great one, I love this remote because it's flawless, great range and very handy) freevo 1.4, mplayer 0.92, using the dxr3 for tv out (selfcompiled sdl lib).

Re: [Freevo-users] has anybody a clean modules.conf for btaudio,tvmixer,alsa (e.g. ens1371),em8300 with correct dsp mappings ?
Thanks so far, so I've to clean up my modules.conf and keep attention of the module install order. No other chance to map the audio devices to /dev/dspx ? last questions: loading btaudio results at my computer in dsp1 for digital and dsp3 for analog I don't know what dsp2 is used for, any chance to get the mapped device using dsp2 ? Last but not least I've to link the em8300-ma-0 to a free dsp device (for eg working xine audio out to the H+. Is this correct ? I need a simple command to see the used devices mapped to dsp. btaudio mappings are listed in the kernel message log when loading the module, but what is with the rest. I'm not very firm with alsa/oss development but there must be a simple command. I had to know which hardware device occupied my dsp2. What's the difference between btaudio and tvaudio ? Here are some of my loaded modules: tvaudio12640 0 (autoclean) (unused) bttv 95552 0 msp340015632 1 (autoclean) snd-seq-midi3520 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 3264 0 [snd-seq-midi] snd-seq38124 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event] btaudio10272 0 snd-pcm-oss37220 0 snd-mixer-oss 11392 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-ens137111556 0 snd-pcm56192 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-ens1371] snd-timer 14208 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm] snd-rawmidi12480 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-ens1371] snd-seq-device 3956 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq snd-rawmidi] snd-ac97-codec 35232 0 [snd-ens1371] snd28384 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-ens1371 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-rawmidi s nd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec] ide-scsi9088 0 sr_mod 14008 0 (autoclean) em8300 42660 0 (autoclean) adv717x 2944 0 (autoclean) (unused) cdrom 28800 0 (autoclean) [sr_mod] rtc 6044 0 ppdev 7748 0 (autoclean) tvmixer 3360 1 (autoclean) tuner 9476 1 (autoclean) i2c-algo-bit8492 3 (autoclean) [bttv em8300] videodev5536 3 (autoclean) [bttv] i2c-isa 1284 0 (autoclean) (unused) i2c-viapro 4040 0 (autoclean) (unused) i2c-proc6688 0 [it87] i2c-core 15016 0 [tvaudio bttv msp3400 adv717x tvmixer tuner i2c-algo-bit it87 i2c-isa i2c-viapro i2c-proc] grip4056 0 (autoclean) (unused) gameport1468 0 [snd-ens1371 grip] snd-page-alloc 5572 0 [snd-pcm] joydev 7104 0 evdev 4160 0 (unused) I've tried to force btaudio to specific dsp-devices with the modules options, but it doesn't work. So loading without snd-pcm-oss module leads btaudio to dsp0 (digital) and dsp1 (analog). If snd-pcm-oss is loaded it results into dsp1 and dsp3. What's the role of tvmixer-module ? (system message: tvmixer can't find mixer device if loading after btaudio). In my opion there is no clear dsp mapping and documentation. Is there a command to list all used dsp devices ? I'm not aware of any; but the dsp devices are based on when the module are loaded. What I used to do was make sure snd-pcm-oss was loaded BEFORE I loaded btaudio, and then the devices always showed up as: /dev/dsp0 - ALSA OSS /dev/dsp1 - BTAudio device /dev/dsp2 - BTaudio device Then, it was just a matter of using the digital device and specifying 32000 as the frequency for mp1e. (dmesg will tell you which is which) Aubin I want a clear definition of the dsp devices because the record server needs an dsp device (mencoder option) and this must be the digital dsp of btaudio when recording with the internal bttv dsp. (remember to all:do not forget to record only with 32000Hz - dsp limitation and using the digital dsp). It seems that the options given by modinfo btaudio are not working. Maybe this is the wrong discussion list (a alsa/bttv problem) but freevo needs a clean configuration and so many devices are common in an homevideo pc. The module em8300 doesn't need a dsp mapping but it would be fine. Hopefully I didn't run into a mess up with my pre/post install modules. So an working example posted would me help with options due to alsa,tvmixer,btaudio and alsa-oss.

Re: [Freevo-users] dxr3 video problems (problem found) - Don't use www-server and dxr3 together
So that's the problem: it seems that the dxr3 output and the www-server plugin of freevo 1.3.4 doesn't work together. All video playback with mplayer starts with an error message and crash of freevo: VO: [dxr3] Error opening /dev/em8300_mv for writing as well! Bailing. VO: [dxr3] Uninitializing. deactivating the www-server solves the problem (no real solution, but the cause is found - fast post by me so no time to get the reason). My suspicion is the osd or the idle mode - maybe this should be solved because the www-server will become an essential feature to remote program the recording. Thomas Hello, Is this problem solved ? I was running into this trouble yesterday. I'm sure it's not a misconfiguration problem, because mplayer works fine without freevo and my last working backup (1.3.4) restored has the same problem. So what's the reason ? I can't backtrace the reason for this trouble. Any hint could be helpful, Thomas Am Donnerstag, 18.

Re: [Freevo-users] DXR3 problem more
Hi Jerry and all HW+/DXR3 owners, yes, it's not simple to get the HW+ to work but with freevo 1.3.4 I succeeded after some pitfalls. I'm remembering the python game error and it frustated me. The key is a correct working patch version of the sdl lib (1.2.5). I downloaded the tarball freevo-1.3.4.tgz and compiled the sdl-library with the dxr3 patch as described. Python Game Module doesn't work with so far. BTW - have you configured the dxr3 correctly and works mplayer with tvout properly ? Step 2 after compiling was configuring these files (trivial) freevo.conf freevo_config.py local_config.py (instead of freevo_config) Don't forget to put the compiled sdl library in the runtime dll dir: libSDL. so my freevo.conf for europe pal (not complete): (the geometry param must be edited by hand) cdparanoia = ./runtime/apps/cdparanoia chanlist = europe-west display = dxr3 fbxine = /usr/local/bin/fbxine geometry = 720x576 jpegtran = ./runtime/apps/jpegtran lame = ./runtime/apps/lame mplayer = ./runtime/apps/mplayer oggenc = ./runtime/apps/oggenc tv = pal version = 2.1 xine = /usr/local/bin/xine local_config.py: maybe getting audio out from the HW+: AUDIO_DEVICE = '/dev/em8300_ma-0' I guess it's a not working sdl-library ! That's why I had some difficulties to get it to work but now I'm satisfied so far but pygame and mame/snes still not working! BTW I'm using SuSE 8.0 and I can mail you my working SDL or patched source tree. My hint get a proper compiled patched sdl lib and put it to the runtime dll dir and don't forget to set eg a symbolic link to it and rename/delete the distributed one. maybe your libavcodec.so lib isn't correct or too old because libSDL depends on it: runtime/dll: ./libSDL-1.2.so.0 libavcodec.so = /usr/lib/libavcodec.so (0x40089000) mplayer compiles that one or get it from the ffmpeg-site. My working one is the old libavcodec-0.4.6.so - (that's a hint to your error (afaik)): SDL dxr3 video driver w/ fame (0.1) or it could be the famelib http://sourceforge.net/projects/fame so I did it my way: compiled libfame / fame compiled ffmpeg compiled mplayer built the working sdl lib and putting it to the runtime/dll deleting the old one edited the config's in freevo roots and now I'm enjoying it but without the game module (it has not to be deactivated to get freevo run) Thomas BTW: oh there's a new one on the site ffmpeg.sourceforge.net (0.4.7) - I just have no time to test it. Am Mittwoch, 27. August 2003 23:41 schrieb [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi everybody! I've tried to get freevo working with my Hollywood+ card for several days now but I haven't succeeded so far. I learned from a posting that the binary releases do not support the dxr3 anymore. Neverthe- less I replaced the libSDL with the one supporting dxr3 hardware. As you can see below the 'osd.py' seems to make troubles. Although mplayer does play videos via the dxr3 card the freevo menu is always displayed on the monitor only. Is the error because of the rpm package? If yes, what's wrong with the compiling process? Apart from this problem there are some more which I want to list here: 1. playing audio cd's in freevo doesn't work, audio cd is not found (mplayer cdda://1 does play the first track with stuttering and xmms even flawlessly!) no problem with data cd's, those are mounted successfully 2. menu browsing with a remote control is a bit tricky because of high sensibility (if I press the 'down' button it often happens that it scrolls to fast, so another menu entry is selected - maybe due to caching?) 3. Does freevo support a local cddb/freedb database for lookup? BTW: I use Suse Linux 8.2, just in case something's works differently with that distro. Thanks for your help in advance!
