Re: [Freevo-users] Any one using TVTime of Xawtv to watch TV in Freevo?
I always use tvtime, the output quality is a lot better than what I get from mplayer or any other program, it's just the best tv viewer available. Original-Nachricht Datum: Mon, 12 Mar 2012 15:06:59 + (GMT) Von: Adam Charrett a...@dvbstreamer.org An: freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net Betreff: [Freevo-users] Any one using TVTime of Xawtv to watch TV in Freevo? Both the above plugins haven't received any love for a while and in TVTime's case uses a deprecated XML library. I don't have the ability to test either of these (no analogue signals) and I believe their functionality is better provided by the mplayer or xine plugins. If you do use either of the above please reply to this message, otherwise I will be removing both before the next release. Cheers Adam -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!

Re: [Freevo-users] TvTime not working with freevo 1.9.0
TvTime works without issues alone. Also, I tried it on Ubuntu 10.04 Beta, and
had the same issue there.
Python is at the version 2.6

This is more likely an issue between Tvtime and your distro. TVtime
works quite nicely with 1.9. Now that being said, as John pointed out
it could very likely be a dependency issue. While Mint does dep
tracking this may be a case of dependency hell. Does tvtime work
fine on it's own? What version of python is Mint shipping. Mint is
based on Karmic, but does alot of tweaks under the hood especially in
the area's that freevo touches.

[Freevo-users] Change TV Audio Language Settings for mencoder and mplayer
I'm using freevo 1.9.0 using mint's repositories on mint 8 (KDE). Here in the german speaking part of switzerland our local TV stations often send out movies in Dual Language mode, where english is the secondary language. As I prefer watching such movies in english, I'd like to be able to watch and record such movies in that language, and not in the syncronized german version. I haven't been able to find where in freevo I can change that setting for recording and watching TV using the secondary language. Using TvTime I have no problem watching the program using the secondary language. -- Sicherer, schneller und einfacher.

[Freevo-users] Recording issue
Hi, I'm using freevo 1.8.3 on a PC running Linux Mint. When I want to record something from TV, it seems that I first have to watch that channel. If I don't, the recording starts at the given time, but the channel isn't selected, so the recording I get is just snow. If after a successful recording another is scheduled on another channel, again the recording starts, but it stays on the last channel that was used or recorded from. So it seems the recording routine doesn't change the channel by itself. I'm using TvTime for viewing TV and have all my channels setup there, and freevo uses mencoder (mplayer) for recording. Do I have to setup a channel list for mencoder too, and if so, how? Thanx for any help here. -- Pt! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?

Thanx for any help here.
Need more information...
Basically the bits of freevo.conf and local_conf.py that deal with the
TV settings.
The most important part is how the channels are set-up.

Hi, I'm using KDE 4.1 as my windows manager. In there I've setup the background to cycle randomly in one minute intervals through the wallpaper pictures.

Thanks for your answer. That was a type, true, but there was also an issue with the /var/lib/freevo folder where there were also messages about no rights. are there also other folder variables that can be set or unset, if so how do I find out which variables have the wrong setting and what are those variables?

Re: [Freevo-users] Recording not starting and problem with channel management
OK, I didn't get anywhere, so I tried this on another PC with a similar config. Again I used the mint repositories to install freevo 1.8.1 through synaptic and had similar porblems. I then used standard channels and not frequencies, again similar problems. Then I uninstalled freevo via synaptic and instead installed the freevo source. With that I got it working.

Tvtime itself works great, and I'm using frequencies to tune the channels, as that gives me better quality and I don't have to finetune. When freevo adds it's info to the tvtime stationlist.xml file, it also adds US Cable to the band identifier. This makes it impossible to actually tune in to the channel. When I then edit the stationlist.xml file and change US Cable to Custom, then restart freevo, it works. The problem seems to be that after a PC restart freevo again puts the US Cable into the file. Does anyone know where I can change that behavior? It's a bug. I patched it a long time ago when I was using tvtime but never submitted it and now it's long gone (I'm using ivtv). It wasn't difficult to patch so if you have the time and can submit a patch that would be great. From what I remember I changed it so that when using frequencies I had Custom set as the country in freevo.conf then patched tvtime.py so that it in turn set Custom in it's xml file instead of US Cable when it saw that. I could be wrong though it was around 3 years ago. 2). I can't get any recording from TV to start. I do get a file with the scheduled recording info, but no recording itself. I tried the instructions on the following Link where there is a bash script that is run to start mencoder, http://freevo.sr
