[Freevo-users] recordserver put "0" as channel instead of the true value !
I finished to install freevo on my machine, and all works well... all exept the recordserver :) In fact, it records things I schedule, but alla videos are only a green screen... I looked at the rcordserver.log file and I noticed that mencoder was called with "channel=0" ! I don't understand as when I go to the TV menu and select any channel to view, I have the channel I asked without any problem. So my local_conf.py is ok. Does anyone have an idea ?

I read that Matrox G400 are very well supported throught mga but not through vifix. Perhaps it is the same for the G200. My celeron plays all flawlessly just because the MAch64 chip is very well supported by vidix (hardware scaling, yuv, etc...) --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

It's working now - why muck around with it? in fact my problem was due to the fact that what ever mode you choose (fbdev, x11, vesa, etc...), SDL will choose the screenmode he wants... so for me, it chose svgalib mode, that's why it swapped the resolution. I recompiled SDL with only support for fbcon, and all is ok. I use vidix for mplayer and xine and its work marvelously... playing dvd only takes 50% of my Celeron 700 and playing 720x576 divx 5 takes around 40%... it's exellent :) --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

Well, I have the same here, and the resolution is not changed (still 800x600) but the frequencies are... so the TV stop working :( I have downloaded Freevo 1.3.4 and I will use it... it seems that newer version won't work anymore for me: ( Why don't you use vidix ?

Moreover, the thing I don't understand is that fbset is not able to change resolution on a vesa screen because it is initialised throught the bios in real mode by the linux booter so how does sdl do ? I looked at SDL env vars, but I did not see anything about resolutions changes... I think I will have to stay to freevo 1.3 for ever :((( --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

[Freevo-users] What the hell I need to do to have TVOUT ???????
Again, I ask the same thing here because I saw similar question on the web and
no one aswered even the auhors :
Is it actually possible for ATI card owner to use fbdev with TVOUT ???
The question may look trivial, BUT the problem is that ATI card automagically
switch to TV frequencies when only a TV is plugged on the card and no vga
monitors is plugged. So I can see the bios, lilo boot and the linux fb consol on
my tv without any problem. But when I launch freevo, it change the resolution
and/or frequecies and my TV can't display anything
In freevo 1.3.x, it worked very well and since I upgraded to 1.4.1 it does not
work anymore.
I looked a little the source code and the problem seems to came from pygame
display object. It seems to be unable to use the current fbdev mode (the one
used for the console) and open a new screen instead To bad because it make
the graphic card lose the TV resolution ! :
So Does I need to stay to Freevo 1.3 if I want tvout with fbedev ? Is there's a
way to tell freevo to use the EXACT same resolutions and frequencies than the
console use ?
please help... or at least tell me something ("not possible", "in next version",
or anything else)

[Freevo-users] Stop changing frequency when freevo start ?
I use Gento 1.4 with freevo 1.4.1 on a Celeron 700 with a ATI rage Pro (Mach 64) on a TV. Ati card automatically switch to TV mode (15 Khz / 60 Hz) when no vga monitor is plugged and the TV OUT is plugged to a TV. So when I switch on my computer, I see bios setting, lilo and linux fbdev console on the tv without any particular setting. But when I launch freevo, the output frequency are changed (probably to VGA) and my TV can't display anything ! :( So why freevo change the frequency ? I tell it to use fbdev, so I dont understand... Is there's a way to stop this ? --- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
