Hi
Thx for your answer but I'm not mounting it manually nor have I running
any automounter. I just said that I'm using
/dev/cdrom to mount my DVD drive to avoid somebody asking me if I really
had a DVD-drive. Somebody
could think of a plain old CD-ROM drive when talking about /dev/cdrom :)
But nevertheless, when I insert a DVD while in freevo, it (freevo)
mounts it automatically but it doesn't begin to play.
I just see the video_ts and audio_ts folders and if I 'click' on
something within the video_ts folder, the screen just
gets black for a second and then I'm back into freevo. And if I set
mplayer to play vob files, the screen gets black
until I press ESC and I'm back into freevo again.
I think there is a problem with xine, but no errors are displayed in the
freevo log and under 'real' x11 it is working fine.

You don't have to manualy mount a dvd, freevo is able to do it for you.
Turn off any autmounters, put dvd in drive and wait. Freevo should mount dvd and
start a movie (or browse files in case .avi)

Yes, it should do exactly the same as if I 'clicked' on Shutdown in the
main menu.
I added the following two lines to my local_conf to make it work in the
menu system of freevo
EVENTS['menu']['POWER'] = Event(MENU_GOTO_SHUTDOWN)
EVENTS['tvmenu']['POWER'] = Event(MENU_GOTO_SHUTDOWN)
But how can I use it while watching TV or a movie or listening to music
etc..

I have the following in my local_conf
ROM_DRIVES = [ ('/mnt/cdrom', '/dev/cdrom', 'DVD Drive') ]
And yes, it is a DVD drive nevertheless I'm mounting it with /dev/cdrom ;)
If I insert a DVD, the dvd image in the idlebar lights up, but it is not
played automatically. If I 'click'
on the DVD Drive int the Watch a movie menu, it just opens the DVD and
displays me the 2 folders
video_ts and audio_ts.
And how can I tell freevo to play DVDs with xine ? I tryed the
following, but then, I can't open
the vob files anymore. The screen just gets black for a second and then
the freevo menu is
shown again. Under 'real' x11, xine is working. And I'm starting freevo
with -fs so it should work,
but it doesn't.

Hmmm, I'm using mplayer. Do I need any special configure options (I

to get it to work ?

What do you want the power button to do, shutdown?

Normally freevo plays the dvd as soon as it has been inserted into the
drive.
In local_config.py you need something like:
ROM_DRIVES = [ ('/mnt/dvd', '/dev/dvd', 'DVD') ]
ROM_SPEED = 8
There should be a DVD Drive menu item in the "Watch a Movie" menu. DVD
menus are supported by xine (mplayer has some support but not 100%). So
you should tell freevo to play DVDs with xine.

This works with mplayer and requires a patch for xine.

[Freevo-users] Some questions about DVB-cards and Freevo HT setup
Hi, I'm currently planning my new Home Theatre setup and I've been considering to build the whole system run on Freevo. There's still couple of questions need to be answered before I can make the decision what hardware to buy. I have satellite at home with Canal Digital channel package and I also wan't to use digital television instead of analog. Currently this problem is solved using combo satellite and digital television receiver provided by Canal Digital. So, is it possible to use both DVB-T and DVB-S cards with Freevo on the same time or is there any DVB-T/DVB-S "combo" cards which could be used with Freevo? For DVB-S card I've been considering this budget card of Twinhan's (TwinhanDTV Sat-CI) and for DVB-T some of Hauppauge's cards.

Re: [Freevo-users] Some questions
Hi, Yep, freevo does support directfb and that was main reason I use it on G400. Picture is excellent. I have tested Nvidia GeForce 440MX+TV-out and Radeon 9600Pro +TV-out and Matrox + directfb is the best. The only thinggy left for me is to make xmame.SDL work with directfb.

Re: [Freevo-users] Some questions
With the possible exception of a hauppauge pvr-350 a G400 on directfb is as good as your going to get for TV-out. Things are drawn at 720x480 (NTSC, its something else for PAL), which is the native resoltution ... rather than scaled for TV like most TV-outs. Also the quality of the TV-out components themselves is aparently better. Xine doesn't have a stable working directfb output - so you're limited to MPlayer which means no DVD menus ... other than that I love it. - Chris On 19 Aug 2004 01:43:11 -, "Peace Monk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > Hi Guys, I am currently using VDR for scheduling and watching DVB > programs.
