Duncan,

Well, I don't know what went wrong the first time, however, after a 
second try, using -vo xvmc in MPLAYER_ARGS works just fine!!

I'm all set now.  Thanks for the help.

I learned that MPLAYER_ARGS comes second to the normal -vo option and 
the first -vo xv is used by MPLAYER which prevents the mpg from playing 
properly.

Example:

ps ax

  /usr/bin/mplayer -slave -ac hwdts,hwac3,a52, -autosync 100 -nolirc 
-autoq 100 -screenw 1920 -screenh 1080 -fs -ao alsa:device=spdif -vo 
xv,sdl,x11  -cache 5000 -vo xmvc -

I'm going to muck around with mplayer.py and see if I can maybe switch 
them around.

That's correct it can't but MPlayer uses the first -vo setting and IIRC
the MPLAYER_ARGS comes first so it should use these settings.

Yes in essence.  Unfortunately, the MPLAYER_ARGS array cannot be used to 
overload the MPLAYER_VO_DEV switch (at least 
that is my understanding from attempting to read the code).
If mplayer runs with -VO xvmc,vo, then it doesn't play flv files properly.

I don't have a workable solution.

My MPLAYER_VO_DEV must have xvmc,vo, (for HD mpeg2 files) however, that breaks 
flv file play.

Does that make sense?

 Both the video and audio podcasts examples work out of the box. What I
 suspect is that your version of mplayer cannot handle http:// feeds.
 What you can do is to enable DEBUG_CHILDAPP=1 in local_conf.py and then
 try it from freevo, then go to the log, find the mplayer or xine command
 and try this from the command line. Or may be check what is in the
 mplayer-std*.log.

I think what you are looking for is the correct MPLAYER_ARGS in
local_conf.py. It is the file extension that is used so you can set
specific options for particular file types.

 The audio podcasts download and play fine.  Is there supposed to be a

 I cannot get the vpodcasts to play.  To start with, I simply used the

Re: [Freevo-users] Plugin Questions - 1.7.5

2007-12-26 Thread Jim Duda
Well, I can get the video podcasts to play, however, I need to remove 
the xvmc option from MPLAYER_VO_DEV in order to get them to play, they 
will only play with xv (which makes sense).

my local_conf.py has:

if CONF.display == 'x11':
 MPLAYER_VO_DEV = 'xvmc,xv,sdl,x11' # X11 drivers in order of
else:
 MPLAYER_VO_DEV = CONF.display  # e.g.: x11,mga,fbdev, see mplayer

MPLAYER_ARGS = { 'dvd': '-cache 8192',
  'mpg': '-cache 5000 -vc ffmpeg12mc'

I add -vc ffmpeg12mc for "mpg" files, all the mpg files are my HD 
content (MPEG2).

I need both xvmc and ffmpeg12mc for mpg files to play, but xvmc doesn't 
work for flv files.

I do see that in mplayer.py, there is code to handle xvmc and ffmpeg12mc 
options, however, I'm not able to figure out how to get set_vcodec to 
activate.

from
mplayer.py

set_vcodec = False
 if item['xvmc'] and item['type'][:6] in 
['MPEG-1','MPEG-2','MPEG-T']:
 set_vcodec = True

 # Mplayer command and standard arguments
 if set_vcodec:
 if item['deinterlace']:
 bobdeint='bobdeint'
 else:
 bobdeint='nobobdeint'
 command += ['-vo', 'xvmc:%s' % bobdeint, '-vc','ffmpeg12mc']
 else:
 command += ['-vo',config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV + 
config.MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS]

If I could figure out how to get mplayer.py to set_vcodec, then I could 
remove xvmc from MPLAYER_VO_DEV to get both to work.

Thanks for any advice.

Re: [Freevo-users] Plugin Questions - 1.7.5

2007-12-26 Thread Jim Duda
Duncan,
I'll give the debug method a try tonight (I'm at work right now).

Last night, I did make some progress.
1) I installed kaa.metadata 0.7.1
2) I added .flv to the MPLAYER_SUFFIX list in local_conf.py
I'm not sure which helped (if not both).

Now what happens is the "flv" files do download and get stored.
Mplayer now plays the audio, but not video for flv files.
I'm using the later version of mplayer available in fedora 7 repo.

For mplayer, I need to force -vo xxmc and -vc ffmpeg12 to play my HD 
recordings. I think I now need to rethink how I 
have this setup (in local_conf.py) to allow mplayer to play flv files now as 
well as HD mpeg files (I'm guessing at this 
point). I'm sure I can figure this out now.

Is there a method for deleting the podcasts other than going into the file 
system and manually deleting them?

I'm really exciting about the podcast feature ...

Thanks,
Jim

Both the video and audio podcasts examples work out of the box. What I
suspect is that your version of mplayer cannot handle http:// feeds.
What you can do is to enable DEBUG_CHILDAPP=1 in local_conf.py and then
try it from freevo, then go to the log, find the mplayer or xine command
and try this from the command line. Or may be check what is in the
mplayer-std*.log.

that's fine, not that I'm very smart, just made the same mistake and was 
persistent.

you need one more line of code
plugin.activate('screensaver')
plugin.activate('screensaver.balls')

[Freevo-users] Plugin Questions - 1.7.5

2007-12-24 Thread Jim Duda
I've upgraded to 1.7.5.  Thanks for all the new features and great work 
everyone!!

I'm trying to use the new vpodcast and apodcast features.

The audio podcasts download and play fine.  Is there supposed to be a 
menu subitem to allow deletion of the podcast?

I cannot get the vpodcasts to play.  To start with, I simply used the 
example configuration found in the plugin documentation.  I can see the 
items to play (example, various utube items), however, when I use the 
SELECT button, nothing happens.  Should I expect the video to play? 
What is needed beyond xine and mplayer?

Finally, I've installed screensaver:
plugin.activate('screensaver.balls')
However, no screen save activates.  Do I need to install something else 
like pygoom or something like that?

Thanks,

Jim
