[Freevo-users] Help with Xine Audio
I need some help getting audio working with xine. xine is running from a recent fedora 10 distribution. lroom# xine --version This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.5. (c) 2000-2007 The xine Team. The .xine/config file has this info for audio: lroom# grep audio config | grep -v '#' audio.driver:alsa audio.device.alsa_front_device:default audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Pass Through My audio system uses spdif optical connection to my surround box. If I run xine without a .asoundrc file, it works fine. audio_alsa_out : supported modes are 8bit 16bit 24bit 32bit mono stereo (4-channel not enabled in xine config) (4.1-channel not enabled in xine config) (5-channel not enabled in xine config) 5.1-channel a/52 and DTS pass-through audio_out: thread created I get into trouble when I introduce a .asoundrc file: pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm Filter_RateConvert } pcm.ac3_raw { type plug slave.pcm iec958:CARD=CMI8768,DEV=0,AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2 } pcm.ac3_encode { type plug slave.pcm Filter_RateConvert } pcm.Filter_RateConvert { type rate slave { pcm stereoupmix rate 48000 } } pcm.stereoupmix { type upmix slave.pcm a52encode channels 6 } pcm.pulse_a52 { type plug slave.pcm a52encode } ctl.pulse_a52 { type hw card CMI8768 } pcm.a52encode { type a52 card CMI8768 } pcm.pulse { type pulse } ctl.pulse { type pulse } I need this .asoundrc for other reasons. When I run with this .asoundrc, xine won't load the alsa driver. I don't get any audio through oss because I need the spdif path. snd_pcm_open() failed:-2:No such file or directory Check if another program already uses PCM load_plugins: failed to load audio output plugin alsa main: probing pulseaudio audio output plugin audio_pulse_out: host (null) sink (null) E: core-util.c: Home directory /home/lroom not ours. audio_pulse_out: failed to connect context object: Connection refused load_plugins: failed to load audio output plugin pulseaudio main: probing alsa audio output plugin snd_pcm_open() failed:-2:No such file or directory Check if another program already uses PCM load_plugins: failed to load audio output plugin alsa main: probing oss audio output plugin audio_oss_out: Opening audio device... audio_oss_out: audio.device.oss_device_name = auto, probing devs audio_oss_out: using device /dev/dsp audio_oss_out: using SNDCTL_DSP_GETODELAY audio_oss_out: supported modes are mono stereo (4-channel not enabled in xine config) (5-channel not enabled in xine config) (5.1-channel not enabled in xine config) a/52 pass-through audio_out: thread created I cannot figure out what alsa is looking for. I certainly understand that it doesn't like pcm.!default or similar. I've tried using all different configurations and settings in the config file. I find the alsa .asoundrc syntax rather confusing at times. I can usually figure out what to do. I'm at a loss trying to understand what xine is complaining about. Does anyone understand how all this works? Given my .asoundrc, what do I need in the .asoundrc and/or my .xine/config to get this working with .asoundrc?

Re: [Freevo-users] Help freevo - put some screenshots on the wiki
OK, I've captured screenshots for the atlantice, dark, geexbox, and Tux'n Tosh TV skins. Now, it's just a matter of getting my account setup and adding the screenshots to the wiki page. I've never updated a wiki before, so the results could be interesting. :) If I'm successful, I'll add the remaining skins this weekend. From a page layout standpoint, should I append my additions to the bottom of the existing page or should I try to integrate them so the skins are listed in alphabetic order?

Thanks In Advance. Rahul Gosavi Hi Rahul, If you are talking about the tv.xine plugin this does not support live pause. tv.ivtv_xine (for IVTV based PVR cards) and the tv.livepause plugin both support live pause. If you want live pause with DVB you will need to use the tv.livepause plugin (and tv.dvbstreamer.record for recording). For this you will also need to get and build/install dvbstreamer (from www.dvbstreamer.org). If however you just want live tv (no pause) you can use tv.xine. In both case you will need to generate a channels.conf using the linuxtv scan utility. This takes a configuration file specify where the signals are, unfortunately while there appears to be lots of example config files for Europe and Australia and New Zealand there doesn't appear to be any. Not a big problem as you can use the w_scan utility to generate the channels.conf file it just takes a little longer: w_scan -X channels.conf Once you've done that for the tv.xine plugin copy the channels.conf to ~/.xine For tv.livepause you will need to setup dvbstreamer and then start it: (this only needs to be done once) setupdvbstreamer -t channels.conf followed by (every boot): dvbstreamer -d You will also need to configure your TV_CHANNELS in local_conf.py (for both plugins) For info on TV Plugins: http://doc.freevo.org/TvPlugins and here for configuring freevo for TV: http://doc.freevo.org/TVConfig cheers Adam -- 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

Do I need to run as the 'root' user or can I still be 'freevo' and do a workaround? You should add user 'freevo' to the /etc/sudoers file.

[Freevo-users] Help: using Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1110 with Freevo
Hi, I am trying to set freevo 1.8.2 up to use Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1110 for tv on OpenSUSE 11.0. I have the card working under Suse and mplayer with no problem and I have tried to recreate the set up for freevo without any success. The sound set up is a bit odd for the card, but I followed the advise on http://en.opensuse.org/Hauppauge_HVR-1110_TV-DVB_card which works. This requires some sound options with the -tv switch. The mplayer command line is something like: mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:norm=PAL:chanlist=chanlist_file:alsa:adevice=hw.1:\ audiorate=16000:immediatemode=0:forceaudio:amode=1 tv:// I have recreated this in freevo by using the TV_DRIVER setting in local_conf.py: TV_DRIVER = 'v4l2:alsa:adevice=hw.1:immediatemode=0:forceaudio:amode=1:audiorate=16000' This gives the command line in the freevo main log: /usr/bin/mplayer -slave -vo xv,sdl,x11, -ao alsa -autosync 100 -nolirc -nojoystick -autoq 100 -screenw 800 -screenh 600 -fs tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:alsa:adevice=hw.1:immediatemode=0:forceaudio:amode=1:audiorate=16000:freq=196.250:device=/dev/video0:input=0:norm=PAL:width=640:height=480:outfmt=yuy2 If I copy paste this to a bash shell it works perfectly, but in freevo there are two problems 1. It does not set the correct channel, despite the freq option. 2. There is no sound. I am totally stuck, so any help would be appreciated!

[Freevo-users] Help with ivtv firmware issue
Hi, I did a distro upgrade on my freevo box on Saturday and I've got a couple of problems with my wireless and more problematic my ivtv firmware. I've changed back to the old kernel I was running which solved the wireless issue. The ivtv card works, I get video, but suffers audio muting. Some channels are permenantly muted, some mute and unmute randomly. Google comes up with quite a few instances of this and it's usually driver/firmware related and ivtvctl --log-status --device=/dev/video0 confirms the audio signal detection is lost and the card muted. My problem is that as mentioned I've downgraded the kernel but still have the same problems. Looking back through /var/log/messages shows that I'm using the same firmware but now there's a message that it's a different encoder revision: 0x02060039 and that this may be buggy. I've posted below two outputs from ivtv's logging from before the upgrade and after. The one after showing the different encoder version and a warning that it might be buggy.

My problem is that the remote does not have either an 'e' or an 'enter' key, so I can't enter the Audio CD Backup sub-menu using the remote.

For example, I can't find a list of all events anywhere.

Any way try using lircrc to map the asterisk to ENTER This is what you need to do, change lircrc to map asterisk to ENTER. Duncan Thanks for this, but I need to be clear. My remote does not work under lirc. It is an odd-ball (Keyspan Remote) which appears as a keyboard (albeit with a very limited number of keys) under X, using the evdev driver in xorg. Here is a link to a description: http://www.keyspan.com/products/urm15A/ I have had no trouble using it with Freevo, using xmodmap to make sure all the strange key strokes convert to the usual ones Freevo expects. There is a evdev in freevo too, have you tried this? Something like this needs to be added to local_conf.py EVENT_DEVS = ['AT Translated Set 2 keyboard', 'i2c IR (Hauppauge)'] The names are taken from lsinput. So, really what I am asking is how to remap keyboard keys. How can I make an asterisk key stroke cause the Audio CD Backup menu get entered in the same way that typing 'e' or 'enter' would since this 'keyboard' has neither an 'e' nor an 'enter' key. I could use xmodmap to cause an asterisk key stroke to get mapped to 'e', but that would mean even my real keyboard would no longer be able to generate an 'e' since xmodmap works against all input devices and for all X programs for the duration of the session, which is not ideal. By the way, is there somewhere out there a list of all possible variations of 'Event' and 'EVENTS'? I looked in events.py, but I'm not a python guy. Add this to the bottom of local_conf.py: print_events = True if print_events: # Print configured events for(k, v) in EVENTS.items(): print '===' print '%s' % (k) print '---' for (k2, v2) in v.items(): if v2.handler != None: print ' %s %s %s %s:%s' % (k2, v2.name, v2.arg, v2.context, v2.handler) elif v2.context != None: print ' %s %s %s %s' % (k2, v2.name, v2.arg, v2.context) elif v2.arg != None: print ' %s %s %s' % (k2, v2.name, v2.arg) else: print ' %s %s' % (k2, v2.name) HTH Duncan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Freevo-users] Help !!!
Hi Duncan, Sorry !! From next time I will share all the information on the mailing list... from your last mail.. I am sending my local_conf.py file and screenshot of my freevo..on the bottom of freevo it showing fixed Date: 1-jan Time 05:30-08:44 and program guide shows correct time and date. So how can I change that date and time according to system time and date ??? Because when I am doing recording for live tv it takes default name as date and time like 01_01_05_30_This_channel_has_no_data_loaded.mpeg 01_01_05_30_This_channel_has_no_data_loaded.fxd..So please can u suggest me how can I change that??? You have two problems: 1) Your time zone is incorrectly set, you need to fix this and then the time will be correct. This is a distribution specific problem so google for then answer. 2) Your TV.xml program guide is either not being found or does not exist. For the first case check the log, IIRC main-X.log and the recordserver-X.log in either /tmp/freevo or /var/log/freevo. (X is the user id under which freevo is running, 0 for root). For the second case, depending where you live you need a xmltv grabber. Someone on the list has already solved this for India.

[Freevo-users] Help, config options for XIne, Mplayer where to write them.
Hello, In a reply from my previous subject, I was asked if hade Xine optimally configured. I can't say I have. I really don't know how to do that. Where do I put the configurations options, as I see it it can be in local_conf.py or in the config file in the .xine directory? I have read a bit of the documentation for Mplayer trying to get 5.1 sound working, so I know were to search for available options. I suppose I can find similar docs for Xine. But at least for the Mplayer doc the impact of the options is sparsely described. Any hints and tips are welcome about what I can do to optimize video an and audio output for Xine and Mplayer. /Petter - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

Re: [Freevo-users] Help with Remote
Unfortunately patch didn't help with recording. Already today 2 missed recordings. I'm pleased that you using the rel-1 branch as it needs testing. But if you really don't want to miss these recordings then you should run the rel-1-7 branch. Having said that, I'm a bit surprised that recordings are being missed as the only real difference between rel-1 and rel-1-7 is the replacement of the event code with kaa.notifier and to a very small extent the use of kaa.rpc. The notifier code will affect events that are being sent internally in the recordserver process and the rpc is for calls from the main freevo process to the recordserver. It is possible that missing events could cause missed recordings as the server needs to know when a recording has finished. Now to the problem: which recording plug-in are you using? (dvb, ivtv, etc.) are the recordings that are missing consecutive? Duncan - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

Thanks for any ideas, especially how I might debug my pylirc install using python in interactive mode ... You shouldn't have any problem with pylirc, have you also upgraded the ivtv driver or the kernel? If so then take a look at http://doc.freevo.org/LircDevInput One very useful debugging trick, after the irw is: ircat --config=/etc/freevo/lircrc freevo Then press the remote's buttons, you will then see the mappings. Yhe config option is where ever LIRCRC points to by default it is LIRCRC='/etc/freevo/lircrc' Don't know of any other reason why it should not work, except if pylirc is not installed.

First of all, you don't need a tv guide to watch tv. I mean, you can have channel has no data and still watch tv. You just won't be able to know what you are going to see... Then, about the black screen: if you had a serious problem, probably after pressing enter freevo would go back to... freevo. So if you watch a black screen, it means that mplayer is doing something, but not what you want. So go to the logs (search under /tmp/freevo) and try to find the command that is running mplayer. Perhaps you will see that it's missing the driver, or the channel is wrong or something. You can also try that command in a console and see what happens. When you you what's wrong, you'll need to find in local_conf.py where your configuration is wrong too. regards Alberto - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Perhaps you will see that it's missing the driver, or the channel is wrong or something. You can also try that command in a console and see what happens. When you you what's wrong, you'll need to find in local_conf.py where your

Instead of this I want to give direct command like mplayer - framedrop /dev/video0 .for this which file of freevo I want to edit. Can u please tell me?

I suspect that must be due to the type of video this is (nature with musical audio, not dialogue). If MPlayer outputted your system is too slow it means A/V desync passed a certain point that if there was dialogue, you'd certainly have seen the problem with lip sync. But since the -benchmark test showed a time a fair bit less than the video's total length, it clearly did get a chance to resync after the cpu-heavy spots (there are 2 or 3 of them in that video). I'd say though that if lavc's h264 decoder was multithreaded, even your 3800+ would have played through it without a dropped frame. Sadly I haven't seen much movement on that in the last while. :/ Thanks everyone for your feedback so far. I'm especially keen to hear from those you have 4400+ or 4600+.

But given that with -benchmark it took 2m32 and the video itself is only 1m59, if you'd played back the video in realtime, it stands to reason you'd see dropped frames, as your system isn't fast enough to decode this in realtime. 8.

Re: [Freevo-users] Help with benchmarking CPUs for HD decoding
I upgraded to Xorg 1.3 and xorg-video-intel version 2.0 and video performance got much worse. Framedrop increased to 561 for the clip, but more importantly the clip hung repeatedly during playback. Also, this time, instead of just mplayer using 100% of the CPU, both mplayer and Xorg used 100% of each core, with Xorg using a greater percentage throughout. Also, when I hit pause the image didn't freeze but jumped back and forth between a few frames. Finally, when I switched from -vo xv to -vo sdl playback looked much better, but the number of dropped frames greatly increased. I downgraded back to 7.1.1 and 1.7.2 and performance is back as I originally reported.

Also, run the video itself and watch it: mplayer -fs cornell_m1080p.mov -lavdopts fast:skiploopfilter=nonref Watch for any frame dropping, which can be noticed in the second last number of the status line mplayer outputs, e.g.: A: 6.1 V: 4.9 A-V: 1.142 ct: 0.023 148/148 95% 8% 3.6% 53 0 indicates 53 dropped frames so far Watch if mplayer outputs Your system is too SLOW to play this! Even if there is frame dropping as indicated on the status line, observe the overall cadence and a/v sync of the video and decide if, subjectively, it's watchable despite the occasional dropped frames. (A/V sync might be, admittedly, hard to determine with this particular video, but it's worth noting that the music is timed to certain scene changes.) Please report back the following: 1. Output of /proc/cpuinfo 2. Output of uname -r 3. The motherboard you're using, if you happen to know it 4. Version of mplayer used 5. The average time of the three -benchmark runs. 6. Whether or not you experienced frame dropping or mplayer complained about your system being too slow to play back the video in realtime 7. What video card and drivers you're using, and x.org version (relevant in #6 above, but not #5). 8. Any other useful observations with this and other HD material you happen to have tested. Again, I'm not trying to be precise here. I just want to get a better sense of the processor requirements for high resolution h264 content, particularly for AMD X2 processors (since I have the least experience with those). In particular I realize that libavcodec's h264 decoder is presently only single threaded, and I realize there are other decoding options out there (CoreAVC).

[Freevo-users] Help needed: Updating the wiki
Hi, As you all know there's more work going on on freevo now than there has been for quite a while. All the developers are busy trying to get 1.6, 1.7 2 out. This is why we need you to help. We need users to update the wiki with all the relevant changes that are taking place at the moment. If you're following the lists and especially either of the svn branches we need you to start updating the wiki with the relevant information. A new structure is probably needed to separate out the 1.5, 1.6/7 and 2 related info. If you have any questions feel free to ask here. If you just want to jump in with one or two quick updates here are a few pages that need updating; http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/SourceDependencies - it's a bit out of date, even for 1.5.4 http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/WishList - needs updating by people who knows what's available and what's planned. http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/Contributing - needs to be updated to reflect the current svn structure (see posts on devel list) For the developers reading this feel free to add pages here that you know need updating.

Re: [Freevo-users] Help writing plugin.
My first idea is that MenuItem needs to return a function that builds a new Item. You might need to create a blank Item class (no functions) and then dynamically create those functions using the lamda operator. That's the most extensible. Or you could just have 3 Item subclasses, which would be less confusing to create. eg. ha_menu_items[1] = ControlItem() ControlItem.createMenu = lamda(menuCreateFunction(device[1]) class ControItem(): def __init__(self, parent): Item.__init__(self,parent) Rande I've made a good deal more progress, thanks alot to Rande.

Re: [Freevo-users] Help writing plugin.
you just need to create a new menu object, and call the pushmenu function - when the pushmenu function is called, you will enter that menu. eg, if you do menuw.pushmenu(ha_menu) menuw.pushmenu(ha_menu) menuw.pushmenu(ha_menu) then you will go down 3 levels of menus (admitted the _same_ menu), and have to go back up 3 menus to get back to where you were.

Ryan, within your mainMenu item, you'll need something like the below (chopped from my shoutcast plugin - see the dev archives for a full copy). It's all to do with the actions function. here you can choose whether to create another submenu or to actually do something. def actions(self): return [(self.createMenu,'Web Radio')] def createMenu(self, arg=None, menuw=None): radio_menu_items=[] radio_menu_items+=[menu.MenuItem(Top20,self.top20)] radio_menu_items+=[menu.MenuItem(Genre,self.genre)] radio_menu_items+=[menu.MenuItem(Search,self.searchPB)] radio_menu=menu.Menu(Web Radio, radio_menu_items) menuw.pushmenu(radio_menu) menuw.refresh() Rande Here is the little that I have been able to figure out. I am able to create a main menu item, and I know how to shell a command, but I cannot create sub menus, and I don't have a clue on how to read and generate it from a config file.

Re: [Freevo-users] Help writing plugin.
typo there - menuw.pushmenu(radio_ha) should be - menuw.pushmenu(ha_menu) Here's what I now have, but I'm still haing trouble, lots of trouble.

Re: [Freevo-users] Help writing plugin.
First I want to thank everyone for the help so far. Here is my code so far: code start import os import sys import menu import config from gui import ConfirmBox from item import Item from plugin import MainMenuPlugin class HomeAutomationItem(Item): def __init__(self, parent): Item.__init__(self,parent) self.name = _( 'Home Automation' ) def actions(self): items = [(self.createMenu, _('Home Automation'))] return items def createMenu(self, arg=None, menuw=None): ha_menu_items=[] ha_menu_items+=[menu.MenuItem(Living Room,self.livingroom)] ha_menu_items+=[menu.MenuItem(Master Bedroom,self.masterbedroom)] ha_menu_items+=[menu.MenuItem(Office,self.office)] ha_menu=menu.Menu(Home Automation, ha_menu_items) menuw.pushmenu(ha_menu) menuw.refresh() def livingroom(self): return def masterbedroom(self): return def office(self): return class PluginInterface(MainMenuPlugin): def items(self, parent): return [ HomeAutomationItem(parent) ] code end The menus work fine, but of course as you can see they are hard coded in. So how can I have it read from a config file ('/etc/freevo/homeautomation.conf') and create these menus automatically? I would like my config file to look somewhat like the following: [Living Room] [Corner Light] On,'command to execute when selected' Off,'command to execute when selected' Dim,'command to execute when selected' [Ceiling Fan] On,'command to execute when selected' Off,'command to execute when selected' [Master Bedroom] [Ceiling Light] On,'command to execute when selected' Off,'command to execute when selected' Dim,'command to execute when selected' [Office] [Wall Light] On,'command to execute when selected' Off,'command to execute when selected' Dim,'command to execute when selected' My goal is to have my main menu of Home Automation, with the sub menus Living Room, Master Bedroom, and Office. Then Living Room would have the options to control either the Corner Light or Ceiling Fan and each of those items would have their sub-options of On and Off, and Dim when applicable.

Re: [Freevo-users] Help writing plugin.
After looking at other plugins I think I will pull my config from local_config.py like the rest do, somethin like: HA_ITEMS = [ (Living Room, Corner Light,On,Off,Dim), (Living Room, Ceiling Fan,On,Off), (Living Room, TV,On,Off), (Bedroom, Ceiling Lights,On,Off,Dim) (Bedroom, Table Lamp,On,Off,Dim) ] --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Re: [Freevo-users] Help writing plugin.

[Freevo-users] Help with Diskless Client Setup ?
Version 1.5.1 I'm running freevo on multiple diskless clients, using LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project). It works fine, except for two issues which I don't know how to resolve. Freevo appears to save all the various settings in /tmp/freevo. For example, I want a particular skin to be saved per node, however, the settings are not saved. Each time I restart freevo, the default skin returns, and all the caching is lost. In this LTSP environment, the /tmp directory is a RAM mount directory, it's not a disk. How do I repoint /tmp/freevo to use another location, for example, using $HOME. I am also have trouble with MAME. I believe this used to work in earlier releases. When I launch any of the MAME games, Freevo appears to lose the reference to the $HOME environment variable. I know that for freevo the $HOME is what I want it to be (I added some debug messages in the code), however, when the MAME game is run, the MAME game cannot find $HOME/.xmame. I make this claim because the game doesn't operate with the proper keyboard configuration settings, as defined in $HOME/.xmame/cfg. Can anyone help me out here?

Re: [Freevo-users] Help with Diskless Client Setup ?
Have you updated your mame? Recent MAME versions don't supported the old list info tag the games section uses. There is code in current 1.5 branch of cvs for freevo that fixes this. It will be in release 1.5.3 whenever that happens. -- Michael Ruelle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Version 1.5.1 I'm running freevo on multiple diskless clients, using LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project).
