My 0.02 ecents on the configuration topic. As xml is as friendly as python code to end users, it doesn't really matter wich format the config file has. It does matter how good the config interface is. (btw, python configs are much handiert for devloppers then an xml format imho). I would strongly suggest writing a configuration application in python, because python knows how to parse python :).

Please read Well Using a web based interface would be a great idea. But I am then sure it would not have to be python. It could just as easily be perl. Plus the graphical element can be done using html. I could propose that we could use the comment sign as a form of tag for a script to look for then replace the whole string rather than just one perticular word. Ie. #DIR_MOVIES_BEG DIR_MOVIES = [ ('foo', '/mnt/foo'), ('bar', /mnt/bar' ) #DIR_MOVIES_Finish ] #DIR_MOVIES_END It would then replace the text betweek the _BEG _Finish tags With what ever text is needed. The only problem would be the comma. Ovbously this would be easy if there were just one line. But once you have to use two or more then you would need to get the programme to remember what text was there before, then add a line ie ,('Mtr', '/mnt/Mtr') which would help with the comma problem providing it is not the first in the sentence. Do you think this is any good or could it be more complicated than it is worth? Also I have taken a look at some pyton code, and it seems prety simple, it also looks very similar to good old basic. But I think I will play around with editing text within the .py when I get home from work. And see what I can do. But I totally agree using the web interface would be simpler. You just have to get a script to pick out the information and create a form.

I can pick up most programming languages very quickly. Python is very easy if you know other languages. As far as I can see, with most languages it is easy to add and remove Text in an ASCII file, and as a .py is just that then that should be easy. Yes, but the parser needs to be more complex, it has to know the python syntax, e.g.: DIR_MOVIES = [ ('foo', '/mnt/foo'), ('bar', /mnt/bar' ) ] This is one entry, if you change the variable in the config tool, you must count the braces, and you should know about comments: DIR_MOVIES = [ ('foo', '/mnt/foo'), #] ('bar', /mnt/bar' ) ] the second line doesn't exist, but DIR_MOVIES = [ ('foo', '/mnt/foo#'), ('bar', /mnt/bar' ) ] this time the # is inside a string. Most things would be list box's and check box's and Tabs for the different sections within the config. Let's do a quick brainstorm what you need for this: o each variable needs a description and a topic (e.g. video, audio, mplayer). It would be hard to parse this out of the freevo_config.py, but you (and we) could create a file with all infos you need, some sort of meta information. Or we can think of a way to structure the freevo_config.py so that you can parse it, e.g. ## Section: mplayer # sets mplayer output device MPLAYER_VO_DEV = 'x11' You could grep for '## Section:' and a comment above a variable. o Plugins may have variables not in freevo_config.py. But they have a function config() to describe the needed stuff (at least some have now) o You can get a list of plugins with the plugins helper script. Conclusion: it would be great to have a config tool. Inside Freevo may be too hard, because you can't type text directly, but you could use the internal webserver. If you know some html, you can write python files for the webserver to do the configuration. Everything the user needs to do before he can use your tool would be starting 'freevo setup' and add

Possible values are again no and # yes. recordserver=no I tested this script with daemon and yes for display x11 and mga (all the reboots, I felt like using Windows). Expect the changes in the snapshots tomorrow (or when Aubin starts the script before that). I will update the Gentoo ebuilds now, so merging freevo-snapshot and mmpython-snapshot will bring you this feature for Gentoo. Dischi I tested it (with scripts fetched directly from cvs, as they weren't in the snapshot's yet apparantly) and it worked almost great. A few remarks: - there's no export USER=root, wich will crash freevo if it isn't added (this might be fixed already). - xterm blanking isn't deactivated. I don't know if the script, or freevo in auto-X mode is supposed to handle this. - not related, but i use nvtv to setup my geforce, it doesn't work exactly when specified in OSD_SDL_EXEC_AFTER_STARTUP. It seems like there is yet an X mode switch or something similar after that is executed, and the settings are erased (maybe this has to do with the splash screen?). I solved this with a very dirty hack, i added sleep 10 nvtv -options in the startup script after it starts freevo.So imho this is a timing issue.

Re: [Freevo-users] 1.3.4 some findings.
I had the same error when starting freevo from the gentoo init script - this break is caused by a very recent update to the freevo cvs-tree. i fixed it by setting the environment var USER to root just before starting freevo, like this : export USER=root It fixes things for now.

And the last one, manual recording via the webinterface adds a extra hour on my system. 22u00 is given as start time but recording is scheduled at 23u00.

Re: [Freevo-users] Framebuffer vs. X
If you use a Nvidia card u pretty much have no choice but using X (afaik accelerated output + tvout in fb is impossible with nvidia cards, maybe directfb will do this in the future but i doubt it). So, don't worry because u basically have no choice :) On Friday 01 August 2003 15:22, Davin Desborough wrote: OK, I am hopelessly confused (in other words, a noob) on this issue. I get the point that framebuffer lets you run without X, but is that a tremendous improvement? I am currently running Freevo under X with my GeForce4 using the NVidia driver and I have no complaints about performance. I guess I am looking for compelling reasons to attempt to get framebuffer up and running. If someone can tell me that there is a marked improvement when running under framebuffer, I'll give it a go. Lastly, thanks to all the developers of Freevo for an excellent piece of software!

Re: [Freevo-users] Re Freevo as a persistant OS.
If you are looking for really fast boots, try www.linuxbios.org. It's mainly replacing your bios with a linux kernel, so it goes pretty fast and has a large coolness factor :) . It doesn't work on all motherboards, but mine is supportted (ecs k7sem) so if i ever have some time i'll try it. On Thursday 24 July 2003 15:39, Q wrote: Can you possibly release a version Freevo specifically designed and built for use with damn small Linux? I am desperate to see a HTPC system that will fit on a small Linux distro that can be installed on a 128MB/256MB/512MB/1Gig USB 2.0 key or another flash device and act as a dedicated HTPC system. Really I dont need a desktop as such (although having the option of basic X functionality with acceleration for gaming would be nice). I'm trying to build a dedicated HTPC system, which means I don't really want/need a huge Linux distro to do it. All I want is a nice graphical boot, and as soon as the OS has booted (which should take zero time for a USB 2.0 key or other flash device) I want to be able to boot directly into Freevo, with no intervention from me and no indication of the underlying OS. (No scrolling text, or confusing commands to enter etc). All I want is to use an IR remote again perhaps via a USB IR hub to control everything. In other words, no need for a keyboard unless something breaks). Damn small Linux seems like an ideal base for something like that. I am not totally hung on the idea of installing a Freevo OS/distribution on a flash memory card/usb device either. What I am aiming for, what I would love to see is a persistant OS that more or less worked like my DVD player. After all, it takes virtually no time to boot a dvd player. I only wish to see the same happen with my Freevo HTPC system. Please advise. What is your view on this?

[Freevo-users] RE: dxr3 sdl patch
Well, i did everything according to the newly published howto, and it works fine until i have to compile SDL .. I downloaded the SDL-1.2.5 sources and applied the nokeyboard and ffmpeg-dxr3 patch, and got no error in the patching process. But during configure, sed already complains there's no Makefile.in in src/video/dxr3 . During the make process, make stops with the following message. make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/SDL-1.2.5/src/video/dxr3' make[3]: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop. I looked at the nonpatched sources, and there is no dxr3 directory in there at all (good or bad? dunno). If someone could help me it would be nice. Greetz den_RDC PS. about docs, a few months ago, i wrote a pretty detailed hands-on guide on installing gentoo and configuring it for standalone freevo use (i called it genboX), it's in dutch and needs updating (work in progress), but nevertheless handy for belgian and dutch users maybe. It includes a forum with some usefull tips too. http://dancevision.blub.be/genbox/ --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Definitive IT and Networking Event. Be There!
