[Freevo-users] dvb usb does only work after replugging
Hi freevoers, I got a problem with my new freevo box which is based on ubuntu 9.04. I am using freevo 1.8.3 but I think this does not matter, since it is an ubuntu specific problem. The dvb-t usb stick - a grantec - does not work when the usb dvb-t was plugged in before the booting. In fact the node /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 (or even /dev/dvb completely) is missing. Only when I remove the dvb stick and replug it, when the machine is running, all devices are setup correctly. I did not figure out how to use udevadm trigger. Any hints on this?

[Freevo-users] capture DV from camcorder
Hello list, it is done. I reactivated my DV Camcorder - a JVC, that always complained about condensation, opereation paused. Anyway. I built a new freevo box in a hifi rack size housing. Behind an aluminum front door, there are some connectors, usb, but also firewire. So I am wondering, if there is any project, plugin or ideas about freevo making able to capture the digital video from my camcorder. This would be the right job for my media center.

Hi again, the configuration was alright. Strange enough, i realized there were some remnants of a freevo 1.8.1 installation, which obviously were used. After deleting the directories of the old 1.8.1 everything worked fine. Was an unpleasant error, since also the debugging logs gave no clue.

Would a Via Chrome9 or and Intel GMA950 be sufficient? Do you have any experiences here? Kind regards Cornelius You mention wanting to use an LCD in the future, I assume that means you will want HD playback at some point in the future? If so I would recommend that you use an external graphics card, or at least have the ability to use one, there are some very cheap nvidia cards that have no fans and will allow playback of HD content even with a very slow processor. They MythTV wiki has a good list of hardware testing with HD playback and the new nvidia VDPAU api: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU#User_results That would seem to indicate that an Atom 330 is fine, and given the CPU usage an Atom 230 would probably be OK too. Personally I would not go with Via mini-boards they seem overpriced compared with the Atom boards and in my experience it is a paid getting everything working properly on them, I used to have an SP13000 which I never got working 100% things like suspend etc. never worked correctly and getting reliable playback of even mpeg2 SD content was a pain. By comparison I now have an Athlon LE-1000 with nvidia graphics card that was really easy to set up and is massively faster than my old machine and quieter too as it has large fans not the anoying 40mm one my old via mini-itx machine had! If your small case has no room for an external graphics card later, when you want to use HD / LCD, then I would probably try and hold fire and wait to see what happens with the Nvidia ION platform. That is supposed to be based around the Atom 330 but with a built in nvidia GPU which is capable of HD playback. Hopefully the ION will also support the linux vpdau api which will make it a very small and quiet self contained machine capable of HD: http://hothardware.com/Articles/NVIDIAs-Ion-Small-FormFactor-PC-Platform-/ -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users -- Diese Nachricht wurde auf Viren und andere gefährliche Inhalte untersucht -- Diese Nachricht wurde auf Viren und andere gefährliche Inhalte untersucht -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users

[Freevo-users] freevo 1.7.0, directfb and mplayer
Hello list,
I was just upgrading from freevo 1.6.0 to 1.7.0.
Since I use mplayer with directfb I got a rather long line
MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS =
':crtc2:spic:noinput:bes:tvnorm=pal:fieldparity=top'
But I realized, that it would not play videos any longer.
I realized, there was a change in mplayer.py:
--snip--
# Mplayer command and standard arguments
-command += [ '-v', '-vo', config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV +
- config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS ]
+command += [ '-v', '-vo', VODEV]
+command += VODEVOPTS.split(' ')
--snip--
This new building of the command string caused a whitespace in my
mplayer-command:
mplayer -vo dfbmga :crtc2
Thus the command would fail, since the command has to be
mplayer -vo dfbmga:crtc2
After changing this line back, it worked fine for me.
Kind regards
Cornelius

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo box over Compact Flash.
Hi,
to use pxe boot I installed and configured dhcp and tftp.
A dhcp.conf on my FC4 (server) would look like this
--snip--
#
# DHCP Server Configuration file.
# see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample
#
deny unknown-clients;
not authoritative;
option domain-name az.local;
option domain-name-servers 172.16.200.10;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
allow bootp;
allow booting;
#option ip-forwarding false;
#option mask-supplier false;
subnet 172.16.200.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 {
}
group {
next-server 172.16.200.1; # Name of the tftp server
filename pxelinux.0; # Name of the bootloader program
option routers 172.16.200.10;
subnet 172.16.200.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
#range 172.16.200.20 172.16.200.30;
option time-servers schnuck;
option ntp-servers schnuck;
option nis-domain az.local;
option nis-servers schnuck;
option tftp-server-name schnuck;
}
host wohnzimmer {
# Hier die Adresse des Wohnzimmer-PCs
hardware ethernet 00:30:1B:40:1E:A6;
fixed-address 172.16.200.20;
option root-path /data/sata/wohnzimmer/ROOT;
option host-name wohnzimmer ;
}
}
--snip--
The next-server is the tftp server, that provides the pxelinux.0 and
also the file system for the freevo box.
My freevo box is the host wohnzimmer i.e. living room. The complete
distribution (FC5) is installed on the server in the directory
/data/sata/wohnzimmer/ROOT.
tftp is started via xinet:
--snip--
# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file
transfer \
# protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
# workstations, download configuration files to network-aware
printers, \
# and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol= udp
wait= yes
user= root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /data/sata/wohnzimmer/tftpboot
disable = no
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
}
--snip--
So in /data/sata/wohnzimmer/tftpboot there is the pxelinux.0
(bootloader), kernel image etc... and also
pxelinux.cfg/default, which is for me:
--snip--
default linux
label linux
# kernel vmlinuz-2.6.14.3-new
# kernel vmlinuz-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4
# kernel vmlinuz-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4
kernel vmlinuz-2.6.15.1
append root=/dev/nfs initrd=initrd-mein.img rw
nfsroot=172.16.200.1:/data/sata/wohnzimmer/ROOT,v4
ip=172.16.200.20:172.16.200.1:172.16.200.10:255.255.255.0:wohnzimmer:eth0:
video=dfdfbmga:vesa:0x183 vga=extended
--snip--
As you can see, I got also the TV connected via framebuffer directly to
sub15 of my matrox card :-)
Unfortunately I never managed to write any detailed howto...
Kind regards
Cornelius

I don't have a tuner, so I just use it for video playback and photos. Having it be completely slient is great. I'm mounting both the data and parts of the system via NFS. A better approach is to use a ram disk. You want to minimize writes the CF card, so either use a ram disk or write logs, temp files, freevo cache, etc... somewhere else. I'm running Gentoo on a 512MB card. It's mounting portage so I can still add software if I need to.

[Freevo-users] Zooming with remote control
Hello, using xine in the normal way you can use the keys z and Z to zoom the video in and out. Is there a possibility to do this within freevo with my remote control? Regards Cornelius smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
Re: [Freevo-users] lcd displays
Hi, unfortunately I do not have the answer. I am not running a lcd display but I think this is a neat idea. I think there are display to connect to the parallel port supported by lcdproc? Do you, if freevo only displays information on the lcd (as in the layouts in lcd.py) or will for example the menu be displayed, so that I can navigate through freevo using the lcd instead of the TV? Regards Cornelius Alberto Hernando wrote: Hi. I'm considering buying a lcd display for my freevo box, as I want to have it working without the tv on in some cases. I want to use an usb display, because the only serial port of the box (asus pundit-r) is busy with the ir remote control. I've been navigating the hardware section of lcdproc.org, and I've found out that these things aren't cheap. So I'd like to know if somebody here has one of these working, how is the quality, using freevo with this... Anything you can tell. I can't find gadgets like this in any local store, so if I'll buy this on-line I want to make sure that I won't regret it later. Thanks Alberto --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Freevo-users] Can not watch TV
Hi, I got the pugins activated. I am not sure what I changed. (Change many things) since I am setting up the box but now I get the picture. (Maybe I got a wrong TV_DRIVER - i needed v2l2) But still I am playing with the sound. Got a simple Bt878 WinTV. Looks like my mixer settings are not quite well yet.

[Freevo-users] Freevo won't start with dfbmga
Hello List,
I'd like to get freevo up and running.
I saw it on my main machine. looks nice.
But I'd like to put it on my computer in the living room, that is
connected to my TV.
Got a Matrox G400 DH.
I set up everything, that I get videos displayed by:
mplayer -vo dfbmga:crtc2:spic:noinput:bes:tvnorm=pal
But I also would like to get freevo on the TV.
When I start freevo:
--snip--
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# freevo
Error: TV_RECORD_DIR not set
Please set TV_RECORD_DIR to the directory, where recordings should be stored
or remove the tv plugin. Autoset variable to /freevo/azureus.
Error: VIDEO_SHOW_DATA_DIR not found
Error: can't find /tmp/TV.xml
Use xmltv to create this file or when you don't want to use the tv
module at all, add TV_CHANNELS = [] and plugin.remove('tv') to your
local_conf.py. TVguide is deactivated now.
