The problem I having is that I do not know how to create sub-menus off 
the rooms.  How do you add a sub menu?

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)

I've made a good deal more progress, thanks alot to
Rande.  Its all 
working now except for I still have not figured out how to tuck things

into sub menus.

 Heres my current local_conf.py layout:

 begin config 

HA_ITEMS = [ ("Living Room",(
                ("Corner Light",(
                    
   ("On","command to run when On is selected from

menu"),
                    
   ("Off","command"),
                    
   ("Dim","command")
                    
   )),
                ("Ceiling
Fan",(
                    
   ("On","command"),
                    
   ("Off","command")
                    
   )),
                ("TV",(
                    
   ("On","command"),
                    
   ("Off","command")
                    
   ))
                    
   )),
             ("Bedroom",(
                ("Ceiling

Can you enlighten me a little more on making sub menus,  I have the loop 
down, but I can't figure out how to add submenus effectivly.  Thanks 
again for all of your help.

Re: [Freevo-users] Help writing plugin.

[mplayer]

I think it might be easier to parse
by doing it this way (tabbed for clarity, won't compile this way)
HA_ITEMS = [
                   ("Living
Room",
           
               
    ( 
           
               
            ("Corner
Light", ("On","Off","Dim")),
           
               
            ("Ceiling
Fan", ("On","Off")),
           
               
            ("TV",("On","Off","Dim"))
           
               
    ),
               
   ("Bedroom", 
           
               
    (
           
               
            ("Ceiling
Lights",("On","Off","Dim"))
           
               
    ),
                   ("Bedroom",
           
               
    (
           
               
            ("Table
Lamp",("On","Off","Dim"))
           
               
    )
                    ]

Then you can just do 'for' loops.
eg, 
for room in config.HA_ITEMS:
        for
device in room:
         
      for control in device:






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")
                    ]

Re: [Freevo-users] Help writing plugin.

[Ryan Roth]

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.

Ryan, within your mainMenu item, you'll
need something like the below (chopped from my shoutcast plugin - see the

It's all to do with the actions function.
 here you can choose whether to create another submenu or to actually

[Freevo-users] Help writing plugin.

[Ryan Roth]

I'm trying to write a home automation plugin, but there doesn't seem to 
be great documentation on using python with freevo.

What Im trying to accomplish is the following:
#1   Read from a config file, such as /etc/freevo/homeautomation.conf 
containing:

   [ROOM NAME]
  DeviceID, "Device Name"
   [Living Room]
  A1,   "Corner Light"
  A2,   "Ceiling Fan"
   [Office]
  A3,   "Ceiling Light"
   and so on.
#2   Display the configuration in a orderly fashion within freevo:
   Movies
   Music
   Home AutomationLiving RoomCorner Light
 |   |---Ceiling Fan
 |
 |--OfficeCeiling LightOn

|---Off

|---Dim

#3   Upon selecting an option such as On, Off, or Dim shell an external 
command.

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.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Ryan

[Freevo-users] Help with Diskless Client Setup ?

[Jim Duda]

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?

Jim

[Freevo-users] Help with Installation (Inconsistancy by ld.so)

[Michael Nusinov]

I'm running the Slackware 9.1 with the newest kernel 2.6.5 (i think) and 
when I run the install script I receieve the following message:

/home/nussy/.freevo/freevo.conf is missing, running 'freevo setup'

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: rtld.c: 1175: dl_main: Assertion 
`_rtld_local._dl_rtld_map.l_prev->l_next == _rtld_local._dl_rtld_map.l_next' 
failed!

Rerun '/home/nussy/freevo/freevo setup' to change this settings, use
the parameter --help for options.
What's this mean?  How can I fix it?  If you require any more information 
from me, let me know.

[Freevo-users] Help: No audio with SB live when watching recorded video

[Bearcat M. Sandor]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Folks,

I'm going nuts.  I don't have the luxury of a card that supports btaudio. I 
have a AverMedia fm98 (yay).   

My soundcard is a Sound Blaster Live (original). I have the soundcard 
connected to the tv via the patch cable we all know and love.

Following the instructions of the Recording Info of the wikki, I am using the 
Alsa script provided there.  The last few lines in my script are:

$AMIXER -q cset numid=63 87   #This SHOULD set the capture vilume, right?
$AMIXER -q cset numid=61 4  # select capture source, 30 is capture source 
control, 1 = CD and 4 = line 
$AMIXER -q cset numid=62 1  # set capture source switch to 1 (= on) 

looking at my alsa.state file I see (I've tried 0-7 on control 61):

control.61 {
comment.access 'read write'
comment.type ENUMERATED
comment.item.0 Mic
comment.item.1 CD
comment.item.2 Video
comment.item.3 Aux
comment.item.4 Line
comment.item.5 Mix
comment.item.6 'Mix Mono'
comment.item.7 Phone
iface MIXER
name 'Capture Source'
value.0 'Mix Mono'
value.1 'Mix Mono'
}
control.62 {
comment.access 'read write'
comment.type BOOLEAN
iface MIXER
name 'Capture Switch'
value true
}
control.63 {
comment.access 'read write'
comment.type INTEGER
comment.range '0 - 15'
iface MIXER
name 'Capture Volume'
value.0 0
value.1 0


Does anyone else have a sound blaster live set up like this? I can hear sound 
while I'm recording and watching tv..why not when I play it back?

If I can't get this working, I'll have to get another sound card. Looking 
around ebay I see that I can get a Hauppauge WinTv for around $10-20.  Do all 
PCI hauppauge work with btaudio? I couldn't find a listing of the ones that 
do and a lot of the ebay listings don't tell you what model numbers they are. 

Thanx,

Bearcat

I dunno. I was using directfb because that was the wisdom of the
ancestors passed down to me. I just tried mga and I get a blank screen
(though CPU usage seems roughly the same), so that's one reason. :)

I'm sure the mplayer folks would be able to answer this question.

I have freevo running on a G400 Max, and was wondering ...

Why would you want to use directfb or dfbmga ? (just curious)
Does it give you better performance or features than -vo mga ?
I simply use -vo mga and it works perfectly, both on screen and tv-out
My duron 700 can even to realtime divx recording at acceptable 
resolution (400x300)

Ah, thanks for the hint! I gave up on the CVS version and got DirectFB
0.9.20 to work, but it was difficult. I had to

a) replace the Debian-supplied headers in /usr/include/{linux,asm} with 
   the ones from 2.4.24; and 
b) hide /usr/include/linux/wm97xx.h to prevent DirectFB from trying to
   compile WM97xx Touchscreen support (no configure option for this afaik).

But then compiling it and MPlayer-1.0pre3 both works, and mplayer can
now play with -vo dfbmga:bes. Sweet!

Next question: in playing DVDs mplayer seems to take about 40% CPU (with
no sound---haven't gotten that working yet), but sometimes gives me the
"your system is too SLOW to play this" message. I'm running an Athlon
XP 2200 which, while not lighting speed, is surely sufficient to play a
DVD. Is this comparable to what you and others are getting?

Anways, thanks for your help,

Not that I really know but I have a G450 and had alot of trouble
setting the card up to work with my TV, untill I found SDL and then it
all worked fine somehow :)
Might wanna give it a shot I found it alot simpler to setup then
DirectFB, but I have virtually zero linux/gfx experience.

Good luck.

P.S. I had the same error with CVS version as well. 9.20 seems to fixed it
tho. And if u can't compile it like u said. Look if /usr/include/linux is
setup correctly. I'm running 2.4.24 with G400clock 32mb and multi patch
however i couldn't get directfb to compile with -multi but that's not a big
deal with freevo.

Hi all,

I'm trying to get my g400 to do TV out with directfb. When I run
mplayer with -vo dfgbmga, I get the following output:

I'm using MPlayer 1.0pre3-3.3.2 which I compiled against a CVS version
(yesterday's) of DirectFB---I couldn't get 0.9.20 to compile.

This is on a stock 2.4.24 kernel (no multi patch applied) and

  
  /proc/bus/i2c
  
  
looks like this:

2c-0   i2c DDC:fb0 #0 on i2c-matroxfb  Bit-shift algorithm
i2c-1   i2cDDC:fb0 #1 on i2c-matroxfb  Bit-shift algorithm
i2c-2   i2cMAVEN:fb0 on i2c-matroxfb   Bit-shift algorithm

Any ideas? I'd love to start using Freevo soon but I'm pretty stuck.

(Incidentally I couldn't get matroxset to even compile... this is on a

  
  Debian
  
  
testing machine.)

Thanks in advance,

Well, I had tried that previously, and this is what I got (I actually have it
as a module at this point):

  (*) Single Application Core. (with MMX support) (2004-01-25 08:34)
  (*) DirectFB/misc/memcpy: using MMXEXT optimized memcpy()

  Can't get CRTC2 layer - Not supported!
  Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

So both ways give me an error. I'm beginning suspect at this point that this
is a problem with DirectFB, so I will ask on their list.

There are definitely weird interactions with the Debian provision of
/usr/include/linux (from the linux-kernel-headers package) and DirectFB 0.9.20,
but even if I manually point /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm to the
kernel 2.4.24 directories, I get compile errors with 0.9.20.

Thanks for your help.

[Freevo-users] help with matrox g400 and directfb?

[William Morgan]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get my g400 to do TV out with directfb. When I run
mplayer with -vo dfgbmga, I get the following output:

   -- DirectFB v0.9.21 -
 (c) 2000-2002  convergence integrated media GmbH

I'm using MPlayer 1.0pre3-3.3.2 which I compiled against a CVS version
(yesterday's) of DirectFB---I couldn't get 0.9.20 to compile.

This is on a stock 2.4.24 kernel (no multi patch applied) and /proc/bus/i2c
looks like this:

2c-0   i2c DDC:fb0 #0 on i2c-matroxfb  Bit-shift algorithm
i2c-1   i2cDDC:fb0 #1 on i2c-matroxfb  Bit-shift algorithm
i2c-2   i2cMAVEN:fb0 on i2c-matroxfb   Bit-shift algorithm

Any ideas? I'd love to start using Freevo soon but I'm pretty stuck.

(Incidentally I couldn't get matroxset to even compile... this is on a Debian
testing machine.)

Thanks in advance,

[Freevo-users] help sought on debugging mysterious dies of freevo main in 1.4.1

[Paul Sijben]

last night it happend again, at 21.44 the main freevo thread died, from
then on it no longer updated the LCD screen, the TV screen or wrote
anything to the main log.

No one was in the house and nothing is showing in the system logs, no
recordings were scheduled. Looks like it died without any event
impacting on it.

I have already turned the debug level to 10 but this is not telling me
anything in this case.

Can someone please help me track this down so it can be fixed? Or is
this fixed in CVS?

best regards,

Paul Sijben

[Freevo-users] Help setting up Australian TV channels

[Carson]

I need some help setting up tv channels in Freevo for Sydney, Australia.

I'm running Gentoo Linux Kernel 2.4.22-ac
I have a BT878(Leadtek WinFast 2000)video capture card.
I have tvtime running OK, and am able to view and change all the local 
TV stations.

There does not appear to be a XMLTV grabber for Australia, so cannot get 
that going.

I would just like to add the local TV stations to Freevo.

Can someone help me, point to me to a relevant posting, or send me their 
configuration.

[Freevo-users] HELP URGENT - europe-west

[Paul Cowper]

Ok, i have now managed to figure that NTL broadcast a lot of their stations on the 
russian frequencys. i have run ./freevo setup --tv=PAL --chanlist=europe-west
but it creates the files but does not seem to do its job. i have searched in all 
documents for the strigh "us-cable" and "europe-west" (only the .py files) 

Weather i use Mplayer or TvTime it seems that it will always default to us-cable.

What am i doing wrong?

these are the channels i am using at the moment

TV_CHANNELS = [('69 COMEDY', 'COMEDY', '7'),
('SkyOne', 'Sky One', 'SR7'),
('Box', 'The Box', 'E5')]

The first one works fine, but i put that to test if it was using us or eu

also tvtime stays on NTSC (but that is correct in its own XML file)
but Mplayer uses PAL.

Do i need to do somthing ??

i will try restarting my machine and see if that helps!! - i must be desperate

Please help

Paul.

I installed freevo 1.3.4 fresh on RH8 from sf download page, (this was
almost 3wks ago so memory is fuzzy).  When I ran freevo, graphics were
'blocky' instead of smooth and it wouldn't respond to keyboard input.
I had to actually kill the process to shut freevo down.  So I replaced it
with the first version I had ever loaded (1.3.2)--- when I installed 1.3.4,
rh8 was a fresh install, freevo had not been loaded yet.

I was contemplating writing a summary of my procedures for install as
I'm going to almost duplicate this first system and setup a 2nd freevo
box for myself (first one for my Dad).  I considered doing this because
I've had such a hard time finding such step-by-step info.   I know the developers put a lot of blood, sweat,
and tears into coding and refining freevo, but if the info. isn't
available to help newcomers adopt freevo then your base of 'testers' that
COULD respond to your pleas for input are going to go to that same SMALL
group of developers that may be concentrating on fixing code or on their
own uses and limited hardware that they have already got trouble-shot and
working.

>Someone wrote a howto for Freevo. He asked for help to make it
>better. I guess the answers are below 10.

It would be nice to have his info linked from the freevo pages (not buried
in the documentation only but from a links page.  I know documenting is a
pain in the ass as you stated, that's why I haven't started my list of
procedures...the other reason is I don't know if each step I'm doing is
going to work or break something (and I've been very limited in spare-time
to work with this project---between my business, wife, kids, etc.)

I was planning on submitting a plea about the capture card next.  I've
got ZERO experience with the damn thing in linux and info. on them
has been very limited (not in freevo mind you, I'm talking linux in
general).  I was having trouble even finding how to run xawtv to see if
the card generates anything, then didn't know enough to trouble-shoot
the darn thing and submit an intelligent inquiry anywhere (freevo or
elsewhere).

This is a very challenging project for those without significant experience
in linux and the toughest part is figuring out 'where' the question should
be asked...is it too general a question to burden the freevo list with, is
it a problem in mplayer and should go to their list, is it a red hat problem
and should go to an appropriate list there, etc..

I do appreciate the effort and responses you guys have all given on my
problem and I will try to contribute where I can as 'repayment'.  I take my
hat off to you developers for working hard to create freevo from scratch and
piece this complex puzzle together.

Keir

Dischi wrote this "plugin" as a small python script to test out and
posted it to the list, so EVERYONE was able to test it right away...
Anyway, I'm glade, I could contribute to freevo in this simple way for
the first time and CVS should come back again soon (so SF told all
project admins) and then I'll come back to CVS again and maybe I could
help a bit more in testing again (need to get tvtime to work smooth and
fiddle around with xine support :)

Cheers,
Manuel

Good point whenever i can or able to i do this always. But from a user
standpoint some things in freevo are complicated. In fact when
1.3.4 released i was truly amazed by the plugins i found in the
plugins dirs. Lot of them weren't documented in the wiki.
For a user it's very hard to go to the sources and understand it all.
Luckily since then plugins are know documented by developers and
users.

Hmm keep in mind that testing new cvs code isn't that easy for a user
who want to give some feedback at this moment. Anoncvs is behind in
fact a week ago i found out it was more then 6 days behind. But found
my way to a snapshot but even that is 24 hours behind and sometimes

Yeah, i added and updated some of your plugins in the wiki. ;-) But you

Make it available on the freevo site don't see a direct link somewhere

[Freevo-users] Help (was: xine not playing DVD's,Mplayer instead?)

Hi,

I take this posting as a mail I want to write for a long time
now. It's not personally :-)

"keir johnson" wrote:

One common problem. 'It hangs' doesn't help much. If I don't know
what happens, this will never change.

> I'd like the dvd menu support that xine is supposed to use, but I'm
> getting sick of 'fixing' each component that is necessary for freevo

A second common problem: Freevo has good support for the hardware the
developers have, they take care of it. But since I don't have more
than one graphic card (and don't need to), users have to help
users. You fixed each component. Good, than share your results with
the rest. _Everyone_ has write access to the WiKi on the homepage. If
each user shares the resultions they have, it would much easier for
new users, Freevo could integrate this knowledge.

In the future, I like to have some sort of auto detection. Freevo
knows what cards you have and will setup correctly, no need to change
the deatils. But right now, I get nearly no feedback for help
requests. Here some examples:

o I developed a way to detect if a disc is a DVD, VCD or SVCD. I send
  a mail: please test and send results. I only got 1 (!!!)
  answer. Lucky for you all, this answer helped to solve a bad bug. 

o A asked for all to write a small doc for plugins. Even if you don't

o A asked for a slashscreen. OK, I got one answer, but a little bit
  more would be great.

o And skins, this has nothing to do with Python. Help us here, we are
  no designers.

Someone wrote a howto for Freevo. He asked for help to make it
better. I guess the answers are below 10.


I (and the other developers) write some code. Documenting is a pain in
the ass, I know, that's why most features aren't documented.

Ask here. If you know the answer some day, please add it to the docs
to avoid that the next one has the same problem.

[Freevo-users] Help with Mplayer Options

[Jim Duda]

In my local_conf.py file, I have the following line:

MPLAYER_ARGS_DEF = ('-fs -idx -quiet -af volume=-10:s -display :0 -x 800 -y
600')
MPLAYER_ARGS = { 'dvd': '-cache 8192',
 'vcd': '-cache 4096',
 'cd' : '-cache 500 -cdda speed=1',
 'tv' : '-nocache',
 'avi': '-nocache -fs -idx -quiet -af volume=-10:s -display
:0 -x 800 -y 600',
 'rm' : '-cache 5000 -forceidx',
 'default': '-cache 5000'
 }

However, when I use freevo to run mplayer, I see this in the
mplayer_stdout.log file.

mplayer_stdout.log:CommandLine: '-fs' '-idx' '-quiet' '-af' 'volume=-10:s'
'-display' ':0' '-x' '800' '-y' '600' '-slave' '-ao' 'oss:/dev/dsp' '-cache'
'5000' '-v' '-vo' 'xv,sdl,x11,' '-wid' '0x01c1' '-xy' '800'
'-monitoraspect' '4:3' '/media/videos/Curb_Appeal_-Faux_Front_.avi'

The first fiew CommandLine options match what I have in my local_conf.py,
however, I
cannot figure out where the remaining options are coming from.  My avi files
are not
playing the same way as they do if I run mplayer stand-alone from the
command line.
The volume isn't correct and I get the Xwindows options border around the
video.

Can anyone help?  I'm getting the same results with 1.3.2 and 1.3.4

Re: [Freevo-users] Help!

[fleet44]

if i understand you correctly, you want to use the mplayer you compiled 
yourself and lies probably in /usr/local/bin. to use it instead of the one 
provided with freevo, just edit the line in freevo.conf which points to the 
mplayer executable

Re: [Freevo-users] (HELP!) pygame.error: No available video device

[Roh .]

thanks rob!

i feel pretty dumb - it was the display variable (i was trying from ssh 
login).

i couldnt pass --display=localhost:0.0 or -display=localhost:0.0, which 
would be nice (like other x apps)
but i could export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 and it runs! (well missing fonts 
but easily fixed)

i run all my other X apps from remote login (with --display), i dont know 
why i thought freevo was different :P (i probably should stop geeking out so 
early in the morning b4 ample coffee intake! :P )

thanks again,

Roh.

Pygame is the basis for Freevo, not the games plugin or anything like that. 
 It is basicly the python interface to libSDL, which lets us display stuff 
to the screen. ;)

Try export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 then start freevo.  Also you should change 
display in freevo.conf to be x11 not xv because using x11 tells mplayer 
to try xv first now.

You are running this from inside of X right?  Is it a local display? 
Can you run other X apps from the same prompt, like xclock?

pygame.error: No available video device
this is odd because the same computer can run mplayer, xawtv and mythtv with 
no problems. system is rh8, 2.4.21, gatos xv(ati rage II 3d/dvd+) and 
alsa9(sb5.1), 233MMX,128MB.

ive also tried to run freevo on another rh8 box, which is a AMD 1G/512MB, 
sis6326 (PAL tv out), alsa9, and again it wont run, same error. and this box 
also runs mplayer/mythtv/xawtv no problems. Ive also tried with the standard 
X11 sis driver and same deal.

(its the full binary release - 1.3.2)

please someone - HELP!

roh.

[Freevo-users] help with TV out on Radeon all in wonder 9000 on mandrake 9.1

[Ranger]

O.K. I have everything working for my freevo box.  It all runs perfectly
with my monitor, boots directory in to freevo etc.  I am using the
insturction for booting in to x with redhat 8.0 in wiki.  The problems start
happening though when I move my box over to the tv.  Every thing goes fine
until I get up to the point of starting X, then all hell breaks loose.  I
get a bunch of text on the screen and it says that it can't use any of the
"screens."  I've gone over some of the previous mailing lists tv out and
figured out that I have to edit the XF86Config-4 file some how but I am lost
after that.  I know I have to put the option in the config file some where
to use "tv" but my XF86Config-4 file is a lot more complex then the examples
I've seen else where.  Can any body point me in the right direction here?

[Freevo-users] Help explain 16:9 and 4:3 output on PAL w/ G400

[Lars Michael Jogback]

Hello,

I've got Freevo up and running on a box with a Matrox G400DH
and a Widescreen TV (Philips 100Hz) (via S-Video) running at
768x576 PAL-mode.

I'm trying to get on grip on the different aspect ratios.

When starting Freevo, the TV (in Auto-aspect-mode) enters mode
Superzoom (which is used to stretch a 4:3-image to fullscreen).
In this mode the top of the picture (the text "Freevo") gets cut.
If I manually change to "Widescreen" mode, I can see everyting.

If I try to play a movie in resolution 576x304 the video looks
best at the aspect-mode "Movie-expand 16:9" but the Auto wan't
to put it in "Superzoom".

The TV has the aspect-modes:
Superzoom   Stretch 4:3 to full size
4:3 4:3 (With black bars on left and right)
Widescreen  Full size (16:9 I guess)
Movie expand 14:9   Some kind of zoom-mode
Movie expand 16:9   Some other zoom-mode
16:9 Subtitles  Almost like the previous, but doesn't zoom
as much.

My questions:

What is the "correct" resolution to use on a PAL Widescreen TV?

What is the "correct" aspect-mode to use on a 1,85:1 movie?

What is the "correct" aspect-mode to use on 2,35:1 movie?


If anyone can point in a direction to understand this, I'd be very glad.

Thanks,
/LM
