Can anybody explain me how to use Freevo 1.9.0 with MPD?
It works for me and these are the lines for configuration:
MPD_SERVER_HOST='192.168.1.105' Â Â # the host running the mpd server
                   (in my
configuration was the same
                   pc where freevo
runs but I need to

address because mpd
                   can listen only
on an address)
MPD_SERVER_PORT=6600 Â Â Â Â Â Â # the port the server is listening
on
MPD_SERVER_PASSWORD=None     # the password to access the mpd
server
MPD_MUSIC_BASE_PATH='/dati/Musica/' Â Â # the local path to where the
music is stored, must have trail
MPD_EXTERNAL_CLIENT=None   # the location of the external client you
want to use, or N
# Â MPD_EXTERNAL_CLIENT_ARGS='' Â Â # arguments to be passed to the
external client, or None [not i
plugin.activate('audio.mpd_playlist')
plugin.activate('audio.mpd_status')
Yes, this is exactly the configuration I have, but its not usable.
The output is really strange, and all I can do is advance in a
playlist that has been already playing by using another client.
I think this plugin requires a specific version of mpc which I don't have.
should be independent of mpc,
the plugin does have its own modified library and that may be missing

Re: [Freevo-users] xine tv - problem with liverecord and channel change
Thanks for reply. I am confused a little now about current version of xine-ui under Ubuntu 9.04. I made some basic investigation to find out that xine-ui represents just /usr/bin/xine, which introduces itself as v0.99.6cvs. But as I mentioned packages manager reports xine-ui as 0.99.5+cvs20070914-2.1 - that is why I am confused. I've downloaded cvs version of xine-ui and successfully compiled, but packages manager seems to miss it which indicates that something went wrong (I hope to find some howto about installing xine-0.99.6cvs). Any pointing to related howtos are welcome. Maciej Not sure how you complied it, but a normal source compile would not be found by the package manager as it was not installed from a proper .deb. 0.99.5+cvs20070914-2.1 is most like a backport of security updates to the 99.5 release down by the ubuntu team. Ubuntu specific issue I am not going to be much help on.

Known problem with ivtv drivers, 0.7.0 is just one of the bad versions. I think that this has been fixed in kernel 2.6.24 and higher (maybe earlier too) So the real problem is what type of drivers are you using for the wireless card, madwifi?

I don't know about much of what is going on in the development of freevo (as i am new to freevo) yet I have 2 comments: Firstly, I think that freevo should have a great installer system, maybe compiled with autopackage?

Secondly, i talked to somebody about this already, i think that it would be nice to have a user end website for people to go to and get freevo.. i am going to investigate autopackage and see what i can come up with.. what do you guys think? -Jordan I'm seriously considering a self-installing distro, fully patched for all the tv cards and with everything working for AU.

Re: [Freevo-users] A new look
Jordan wrote .. hah, ok, thats fine! are you sure that everything should be prepackaged (fully patched)? Couldn't you set up some sort of installer that would guide you through the installation process and it would ask you what kind of stuff you have, then compile freevo for you (downloading everything) and install it? (or is that what you meant..) Kinda like what Synaptic Package Manager does on Ubuntu, yet only for freevo. Thats what i thought autopackage was... If im wrong... then im wrong... Do you think that it is possible? (or are you already doing it!) -Jordan My friends / acquaintances biggest problem is that their tv card doesn't work, and they need to apply kernel patches for it to work. That's not easy to do when you are really a windows refugee. Putting packages on using a system which will download and compile them is easy by comparison. Gentoo based would make updating easier, once it is set up it is merely timeconsuming to update (unless like my offspring, you have distributed compiling running). But I haven't got time at present. I've got hardware to do it, but just not enough spare time. Liz - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Freevo-users] A new look
Bastian Farkas wrote .. err... don't you guys miss some little detail here? freevo is a standalone app. it does not make sense in my opinion to have some fancy graphical installer. you don't need gnome or some other desktop environment on a dedicated freevo box (running freevo non-dedicated is just stupid, there are lots of other media player and tv programs). if you want it to be easy for new users to install freevo what you need is some little distro (maybe based on debian or gentoo), which you can ship on a single cd, with some ncurses-based installer which asks some questions about which tvcard to use or the remote control (things which are hard to auto-detect, but relatively easy to know even for an inexperienced user). the best example for something like this is linvdr: http://linvdr.org/projects/linvdr/index.en.php there are two themes (which are not mutually exclusive) under the one heading, which as usual in a long email conversation, no longer is relevant to the topics. A) the distro theme mentioned here which is aimed at dealing with the vagaries of kernel patching to get tv cards working and getting all the relevant packages onto your computer. It would have a way of putting libdvdcss and win32 codecs and other stuff on without upsetting things too. There are self-installing distros with excellent hardware detection and package management. B) the freevo configuration utility (which Karl, I think is worth more than one beer). this is something which would be appreciated by many people and perhaps could be farmed out.

[Freevo-users] stationlist.xml
There is an unanswered post from january Hi. I never managed to resolved this issue. I use tvtime as tv plugin; I use PAL and I'm living in italy. Normally my stationlist.xml use the Custom band, defined with mhz like 663.50mhz; this file contains two frequencies, one for tvtime stand alone and one for tvtime freevo when launched from freevo. the problem is that freevo sometimes overwrites that file specifing band=us-cable for every channels and then nothing works; I've ever to change the file with a backup copy. there is any solution? thanks I've got the same problem. My immediate solution was to make the file read only but this wasn't 100% effective, as a persistent piece of code will delete and rewrite the file, which is then read-write again, and freevo gives me 'no signal' again when I want to watch tv; so now I've made /home/tv/.tvtime directory read only. I found in the changelog Release 1.4.0-rc2 (2003-11-02): --- * Added a playlist plugin * TvTime plugin redo: use new childthread writes tvtime.xml to keep in sync with freevo channels writes stationlist.xml to keep in sync with freevo channels merges stationlist.xml and tvtime.xml if they exist already set tvtime xml parameters if you have 0.9.10 or newer added support for custom tuned channels using FREQUENCY_TABLE * Additional translations: da, de, fi, it * Changed the Shutdown function to ask for confirmation first * Support for external plugins and themes * And as usual: bugfixes but I don't know what this was intended to fix it certainly breaks my tv tuning which uses custom frequency table in tvtime; setting it to USCable, and removing the frequencies set, putting in channel numbers. my tvtime.xml doesn't contain these numbers, nor US-Cable so I don't know from where these numbers come -- Q: Why did the programmer call his mother long distance?
