This means that you need to install png development package. I would expect just about all distributions to include these libraries out of the box. After adding the "libpng-devel" package, the build of kaa-imlib2 completed normally and I was able to reinstall Freevo without problems:-) Installation of Freevo has really been difficult this time, compared to the previous HTPC projects (for example the one before this when I installed version Freevo 1.5.4). I believe that much of the trouble I'm experiencing comes out of the fact that I didn't install Fedora as a "Development workstation", for some reason I instead selected "web-server" since I thought that it would give me a smaller "footprint".

[Freevo-users] Freevo install problems - can't find imlib2
Hi list I'm trying to make an upgrade of my Freevo box. In practice it is more than a upgrade since I had issues with the old DVB card and the stability of the system... Anyway the newly installed system is a Fedora 9 based Antec Fusion HTPC box with two Hauppauge DVB-cards. All hardware have been tested and I have brought up the DVBs, iMon VFD, remote control and mplayer - so it's time to install Freevo. First of all, I can't get the kwizart(?) repos running and the related links on Freevo page is dead, so I have tried to load all the dependencies by hand. After that I tried to load all the kaa stuff. I hope not 100 % that it works, is it possible to check this in a log or something? Finally I have unpacked the Freevo 1.8.2 tar-ball and executed "./freevo setup". When I try to start Freevo just to see if is starts it complains about a Imlib2 that is missing. It is not missing. The INSTALL file does not give much help [EMAIL PROTECTED] freevo-1.8.2]# ./freevo Can't find all Python dependencies: No module named imlib2 Not all requirements of Freevo are installed on your system. Please check the INSTALL file for more information.

Hi all, Yesterday the swedish XMLTV grabber stopped (due to a hacker attack of the swedb site - http://tv.swedb.se). This is obviously not a Freevo problem, but is has a bad secondary effect on my system; when I try to enter the TV Guide I get a error message TV Guide is corrupt!

Hi,
Here is something I had tested with my old freevo-1.3.2-pre4, I haven't
ported it to the latest release yet (but the maintainer of "idlebar.py"
might be interested of doing that ?).
Installation:
1) You need to make sure that your DIR_RECORD path is pointing to your
recording media.
2) Add the following lines to your "local_conf.py". Activate the idlebar
items you find useful.
# Set the number om Megabytes consumed for each minute of recorded video
here.
# This is used by the 'disk_usage' plugin to calculate recording time left

plugin.activate('idlebar.weather', level=10, args=('ESGP', ))
plugin.activate('idlebar.disk_usage', level=10)

RE: [Freevo-users] Freevoweb
Hi,
I noted that the "record_server_init" script had a line mentioning a
"boot_config" file also. I had to copy that file from
/usr/local/freevo/boot/boot_config to /etc/freevo/boot_config to get both
the webserver and record_server up and running.
However, I stumbled in to a problem with the webserver:
1. Give Freevo a fresh restart and leave it in the main menu.
2. Start your web-browser an click the TV-Guide button. The browser hangs
and waits for "Opening page http://your_Freevo_host/guide.rpy"; to
respond
3. Freevo has crashed leaving a blank screen (but the processes seems to be
there):
1331 tty1 00:00:00 xinit
1332 ?00:00:03 X
1334 tty1 00:00:00 freevo.xinitrc
1352 tty1 00:00:00 webserver_init
1353 tty1 00:00:00 record_server_i
1354 tty1 00:00:00 freevo
1371 tty1 00:00:02 freevo_loader
1375 tty1 00:00:00 freevo
1377 tty1 00:00:00 freevo

1418 ?00:00:00 sshd
1420 pts/000:00:00 bash
1628 pts/000:00:00 ps
The last lines of the web-server log gives the following clues(?):

There is no crash-info or backtrace in the other logfiles.
I have checked that the "TV.xml-0.pickled" file exists. I have also deleted
it so freevo can create a new one.
The TV-Guide works fine in Freevo itself.
...wierd!

In order to make the information both valid and possible to find I believe that a well structured Wiki should be possible to use for user comments, hints and experiences. I also believe that a snapshot of the Wiki user documentation should be moderated and packaged together with each stable release (as a bundle of HTML-docs or PDF). Documentation should be labeled and released using the same baselines as the binary releases. The documentation for freevo-1.3.2-pre5 should be valid for that release - not containing outdated stuff from freevo-1.3.1 or untested stuff targeted for freevo-1.3.3-pre1 :-) In general I see the need for three types of documentation, targetet to different types of individuals. - Users Guide (end-user documentation). How Freevo operates from the users point of view (could be a HTML, PDF or why not an embedded documentation system in Freevo itself!?). - Installation Guide. Something like a HOWTO. What do I need, how do I get this bugger up and running. FAQs, Hardware/Software compatibility guide. Some basic info on the system architecture and minor customisations of Freevo. All definitions in "freevo_config.py" should be documented here! - Design Documentation. Code Style Guide, Software structure, API documentation. TODO lists. There shouldn't be millions of pages of documentation - but there should be enough to make sure that developers and contributors are aligned in terms som code style, use of objects and APIs. Properly designed code is easier to integrate in the existing software and contains less bugs... I think that the documentation found at http://www.directfb.org/ is good. Look at the Overview document http://www.directfb.org/documentation/DirectFB_overview_V0.1.pdf for an example of high level documentation to give newcomers an introduction on how the pieces fits together. /Tommy > I'am alone? > > > On Tue, 2003-06-24 at 12:18, Dirk Meyer wrote: > > Shawn Powers wrote: > > > Hey, [EMAIL PROTECTED] remember when you typed: > > >> That is our biggest problem.

RE: [Freevo-users] Streaming Internet Radio
Hi,
I'm having trouble getting Internet Radio to work. Sorry to bother you guys
but and I think I need some pointers in the right direction :)
Freevo shows the Internet Radio directory in the Audio menu, but it says
that "The directory is empty" when I enter it. I use freevo-1.3.2-pre4 on
top of RH8.0
I have created a directory where I want to put my server URLs called
"/mnt/iradio".

/mnt/iradio

Ok. I have only used Freevo with lircrc support myself. Still, my guess is that Freevo needs to be modified to get repeat to work. The wierd thing is that if I hold down the Fast Forward button on my remote when I'm in Freevo main menue, Freevo seems to get multiple events (see excerpt of internal-main-0.log below) - but FFWD repeat doesn't work when mplayer is running :-) start logfile Inserting CD/DVD ROM Volume = 70 Building the xml hash database... done MEDIA: Status=2 Posting IDENTIFY_MEDIA event Main loop starting... no eventhandler for event PLUGIN_EVENT IDENTIFY_MEDIA no eventhandler for event FFWD no eventhandler for event FFWD no eventhandler for event FFWD no eventhandler for event FFWD no eventhandler for event FFWD no eventhandler for event FFWD no eventhandler for event FFWD no eventhandler for event FFWD --- end logfile So my question to the dev-team is: Is repeated event forwarded to mplayer ([Yes, its in the CVS:-)] / No ) ? /Tommy K > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > skeeterskip > Sent: den 16 juni 2003 11:47 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Freevo-users] ffwd changes > > > I think I remember 1.3.2 pre2 and earlier being > normal.

RE: [Freevo-users] ffwd changes
Hi, I have noticed this too and have done some experimenting with my LIRC config file. However, I came to the conclusion that this a Freevo issue and dropped the case. I use lirc0.6.6 and freevo.1.3.2-pre4. I'll recreate my experiments below: First, I created a small LIRC config file (lirctest) to check that LIRC sends repeated events. [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# more lirctest begin button = VCR_1 prog = irexec repeat = 3 config = echo "Hello world!" end [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# irexec lirctest Hello world! (<- The VCR_1 button is held down for 3 seconds approx. ) Hello world! Hello world! Hello world! Hello world! Hello world! Hello world! Hello world! Hello world! Hello world! [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# LIRC handles key repeat as expected. I have also tested that mplayer handles key repeats OK. I created another testfile (lirctest_mp) for LIRC and launched Mplayer in console mode, using it: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# more lirctest_mp begin button = VCR_Forward prog = mplayer repeat = 3 config = seek 60 end [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mplayer -lircconf lirctest_mp -vo vesa /mnt/common/Movies/Action/The_Boondock_Saints.avi Mplayer handles Fast Forward as expected. If I keep the VCR_Forward button pressed down the movie skips forward. Finally, after doing this I tried to add a "repeat = 3" line to FFWD and REW in my /etc/freevo/lircrc . I restarted Freevo but FFWD nor REW seemed to handle the repeated events. No Joy So my guess is that Freevo/pylirc filters out the repeated events (or hasn't implemented repeat at all). Is this assumption correct ? /Tommy > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > skeeterskip > Sent: den 15 juni 2003 07:55 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Freevo-users] ffwd changes > > > I have latest freevo release and noticed that ffwd in > movies only works if continously pressing ffwd button. > A while back i had it so that i could just hold down > ffwd button and have it continously ffwd.

RE: [Freevo-users] Questions about the OSD - possible improvements?
Paul,
Got the Idlebar up and running in zerotime (many thanks for your example!)
and I got so carried away that I hacked myself a plugin for checking the
disk usage!
It's not beautifully engineered Pyhton, but it sort of does the job for me
:-)
I'm happy to submit it if anyone wants it... I can post it here (the class
is something like 50 lines of code that goes into the src/plugins/idlebar.py
somewhere), or I can post it to someone who have access (and knowledge) in
CVS.
Please advice.

[Freevo-users] Questions about the OSD - possible improvements?
Hi guys, I have been using Freevo for a while now; and have lately been putting myself in the position of a Dumb and Ignorant User - by asking myself questions about usability; comparing Freevo with other consumer electronics equipment in my livingroom and without worrying too much about implementation issues. The biggest issues I think is Startup time (Power On -> Freevo ready to accept command input) and the reaction time for the remote control (delay between button pressed on the remote to OSD is updated). The Startup time is not much to do about - expect keeping the box up and running around the clock (which is what I do). The second issue is mentioned in the bug report so I guess that someone is working on that one... In general I'm very happy with my Freevo box. The best thing is that Freevo is evolving all the time, so I guess that I will be happier and happier :-) However, I have the following small suggestions to enhance usability. If it's in the CVS already I'm looking forward to see it as a documented "local_conf.py" configurable item (or plugin) in a stable release :-) 1.OSD for 16:9 TVs: Is there any easy way of changing the OSD for use with a Widescreen (or 16:9) TV ? Is there maybe a skin already out there somewhere for this ? The default skin of Freevo is good for a 4:3 aspect ratio, but the menues get "letter-boxed" in different Widescreen modes. It's not an major issue, but still quite annoying. I have tried to change the resolution of X11 and Freevo in different ways, but when I find a setting where the OSD looks good; mplayer misaligns the output :-( Is it possible to make a 16:9 Skin to fix this, maybe I should give it a shot ? 2.Show scheduled recordings in the TV-Guide: It would be nice to see which programs that are scheduled for recording (box or text marked in different color?). To avoide questions like "Did I schedule this recording or not the last time I surfed the TV-Guide ?" :-) 3.Status-bar It would be nice to have a Status-bar at the botton (or top?) of the screen with Time, Harddisk Usage (MBytes left or Recordning time left - given a specified recording ratio), Recording Status (Idle or Recording). There are probably atleast 1024 other items that might be useful too:) 4.Show Date in TV-Guide I miss the date in the TV-Guide timeline. It's easy to lose track of days after pushing the "Arrow Right" button for the 50'th time... By putting the Date and separator between each 24-hour period its easier to keep orientation.

RE: [Freevo-users] OT: case for mini-itx
Hi again, Just wanted to mention a couple of mods I made to the 2699R make it work for me. - The 55W ATX power supply is a bit weak at startup. The power-block doesn't deliver enough power when you hit the POWER button. I had to add an 4700uF/16V reservoir electrolythic capacitor in parallell with the DC-input terminals. - I soldered 100 ohm resistors in series with the +12VDC leads to the fans to lower their speed (and noise level). My Freevo is up 24-7. I haven't experienced any temperature problems (yet:). - The COM2 port is excellent for connecting your LIRC receiver hardware. - The USB connectors on the front is perfect for connecting your USB Gamepads (for XMAME or SNES emulators). /Tommy K > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bo Rosén > Sent: den 5 juni 2003 23:04 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Freevo-users] OT: case for mini-itx > > > tor 2003-06-05 klockan 22.32 skrev Tommy Killander: > > More Swedes to the rescue, > > > This is The One you Want (I suspect) - > http://www.hushtechnologies.net/ . > > Click-and-Drool... > > Yes, it's truly sweet amd I wish I could afford it too. > > > Myself, I couldn't afford it :-( I had to go for the Morex Cubid 2699R, > > After looking around a bit, this is the one I've settled on as well. > It's not particularly good looking, but it'll do ;-) > > > since I also wanted to buy everything from Dustin AB. > > Hm, better check them out as well for prices. > > > full of DIY solutions like this.

RE: [Freevo-users] X11 and TV Out
Alan, I think that your problem with the TV output might be related to vertical and horisontal sync frequencies. My first first attempt to use mplayer in VESA mode (before I got X11 and Freevo up and running) I could watch all of my DivX movies at my monitor, but only a few of them worked at my TV-set. I found out that mplayer (in fullscreen VESA mode!) changed HS/VS frequencies depending on the content resolution - VS frequencies which where multiples of 25 Hz (50, 75 and 100 Hz where OK - 85 Hz where not) - the 25 Hz comes from the PAL standard. After this I decided to use X11 and select a ModeLine combination that would give me 75 or 100 Hz VS rate. Hope this helps you! I have an XF86Config for an EPIA-M that works for me. But I guess that it will be of little use since you are using an EPIA board, right ? In practice its the same config as the one for Freevix (I didn't know of that project back then so I hacked on by myself :) I use the VIA supplied display drivers for CLE266. You should probably use KLE133 drivers for EPIA (they might even be part of the RH9 distro). Anyway here it is: - XF86Config # File generated by anaconda.

Check that TV out is set to Enabled in your BIOS - you might want to enable both TV and VGA output to make it easier to move the EPIA between the TV-set and the Monitor.

I fiddled around quite alot with my system "syste,-renmote" and a remote for an old broken down Panasonic VCR (had every button I could think of for Freevo, but I had to keep track of another remote in my livingroom). It already had an working .lircrc-file so all I had to do was to figure out which function Freevo where using - and select the wanted event-name for that function. Right now I use the same remote as I use for my TV-set, since it has a remote with three modes (TV, VCR and DVD). I have created a special .lircrc-file for the VCR mode of that remote using the "irrecord" command, but it was easy... It's very handy to use the same remote for the TV-set as for Freevo, I think. > I've heard people talking about using universal > remotes, but how did you know which device code to program into > it so you would have the buttons you needed? Trial and error? > My "system-remote" had the drawback that the arrow-keyes used for menu stuff, where used for tape transport functions (Play/STop/Ffwd/Rec etc), so in the end I ditched that solution. The system remote has damn too many modes to keep track of - so I always end up using 2 or 3 remotes at the same time anyway :-) When I programmed the remote and LIRC I used a sort of semi-trial-and-error:-) : - I surfed a couple of well-known VCR brands (Sony, Panasonic, Philips) and selected one of their "top-of-the-line" VCRs, ignoring the newest models. They would probably have an advanced OSD and a remote crammed with buttons:-) ...and they would have support in LIRC hopefully. - I took the .lircrc configs for that brand and selected the config with the most functions (tape transport, OSD etc). - After that I used trial and error for program my System remote with the matching code. > ~Rob > > > > --- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: ObjectStore. > If flattening out C++ or Java code to make your application fit in a > relational database is painful, don't do it!
