The out by one hour problem has to do with manualrecord.rpy and 
python2.2.  I have been meaning to fix that.
I did some work on this last night and committed changes into CVS.  It 
is working properly for me now, CVS users please test.  Anon CVS is 
probably too far behind but the snapshots should be ok.

[Freevo-users] Re: Recording problems, almost there!

2003-10-19 Thread Tim Walter
Hi,  Ongoing saga, but almost sorted...

1.4rc1 Installed and working
Mplayer installed and working
mencoder installed and working standalone via commandline
Freevo setup and working for TV and playing DVDs, also web interface 
works fine.  Can set up recordings via web and all appears to work, 
channel choice, timing (out by an hour but can sort that later!), save 
and it appears to run and remove itself from pending list but then no 
recording appears (so I assume the recordserver is functioning normally)

In the freevo interface F6 appears to initiate a recording (but no 
choice re timing given at all) but again no output files found.

If I take the commands from VCR_Settings and run them from the 
commandline then mencoder objects to no audio encoder (-oac) selected 
even though there is and even if I alter this line...

e.g. I try and run this line

mencoder -tv on:driver=v4l:input=1 :norm=pal channel=66 
chanlist=europe-west device=/dev/video0 adevice=/dev/dsp4 -ovc lavc 
-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=128:cbr:mode=3 -o
x.avi

Info

VCR_CMD = ('/usr/bin/mencoder ' +# Change. Absolute path to the 
runtime
'-tv on:driver=v4l:input=0' +   # Input 0 = Comp. V. in
':norm=pal' +  # Change
':channel=%(channel)s' + # Filled in by Freevo
':chanlist=europe-west' +  # Change
':width=320:height=240' +   # Change if needed
':outfmt=yv12' +# Prob. ok, yuy2 might be
faster
':device=/dev/video0' + # CHANGE!
':adevice=/dev/dsp4' +  # CHANGE!
':audiorate=32000' +# 44100 for better sound
':forceaudio:forcechan=1:' +# Forced mono for bug in my 
driver
'buffersize=64' +   # 64 Megabyte capture

'keyint=30 ' +  # Keyframe every 10 secs,
change?
'-oac mp3lame -lameopts ' + # Use Lame for MP3 encoding
'br=128:cbr:mode=3 ' +  # MP3 const. bitrate, 128

'-ffourcc divx ' +  # Force 'divx' ident, better
compat.
'-endpos %(seconds)s ' +# only mencoder uses this so
do it here.

Your mencoder command is probably failing.  Please check your 
recordserver log for details, and the command line it is using.  It 
should be /var/log/freevo/recordserver-0.log or under /tmp/ somewhere if 
you have no /var/log/freevo/.
