Re: [Freevo-users] Different audio-settings

I'd like to playback a 2 channel audio-file on a 5.1 speaker set and I have configured a appropiated channels-rule for mplayer (-af channels=6:6:0:0:1:1:0:2:1:3:0:4:1:5). This works great.

[Freevo-users] Recording through alsa
I updated the wiki with some info on recording through Alsa without OSS emulation in the btaudio page . You have two options: use snd-bt87x (which is the alsa equivalent of btaudio) or use the line-in. mencoder doesn't support btaudio (yet?) and the same problems arise with snd-bt87x, but it should work with mp1e with the patch from the wiki. Access the snd-bt87x mixer through alsamixer -c 1 or alsamixer -D bt87x For analog loopback cable recording add option 'alsa' to -tv options list, and take as adevice your soundcard (emu10k1 in my case) adevice=/dev/adsp did NOT work for me (records only silence). I have the following /etc/asound.conf: pcm.emu10k1 { type hw card 0 } ctl.emu10k1 { type hw card 0 } pcm.bt87x { type hw card 1 } ctl.bt87x { type hw card 1 } Recording from line-in with the sound MUTED works, so I can use mplayer/mencoder for timeshift recording (of course, seeking doesn't work then).

Re: [Freevo-users] DVD Crash and Channels incorrect
DVD's have also been a problem. Sticking in a DVD after loading Freevo, or starting Freevo with a DVD in the drive causes Freevo to crash without fail with a stack trace including many threads and one dvdinfo.pl? Does this ring a bell? See the thread: 'Starts with only no disc in the drive' in freevo-users archives. There is a dirty fix for dvdinfo.py there, or just don't use the runtime and install every dependend package. That's a lot of work but definately worth it !

Re: [Freevo-users] Re: Big runtime problem
Just need to know the number of tracks, angles, subtitles, durations etc. Standard info, available through libdvdread .. which uses libdecss for encrypted dvds .. which is what segfaults in the runtime version And yes, dvdinfo via mplayer is a workaround. I stopped using the runtime yesterday. I installed every required dependent package. Now it works as it should..

[Freevo-users] Re: Starts only with no dvd disc in drive
Dischi, Please check: a) can mplayer/xine play the dvd? Maybe it's the wrong region code? b) do you have libdecss and if yes, what version? I guess it' one of those. It's a bug in the c part of mmpython which interfaces to libdvdread. Please replace dvdinfo.py in the runtime with the attached version and send me the trace again so I can see were it crashes. old version: /usr/local/src/freevo-1.4/runtime/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mmpython/disc/dvdinfo.py Dischi Since I am having exactly the same problem since 1.4rc2 I did what you asked and can answer your questions. a.
