 Well, it seems to work sometimes when you set your primary player to
 Mplayer.  It's easy to tell what player you are running - volume doesn't
 work in xine, for instance.

 vlc doesn't seem to work at all.  It plays the video, but lirc seems
 broken.  Perhaps when I get my freevo box working better, I will have more
 time to fill out bug reports.  (And add to the wiki - promise I'll get to
 that someday)

Yeah, ran in to this too. Never did figure out what the issue was,
narrowed it down to something in the way lirc+ freevo was hading
things off to xine but never got past that. The SO wanted the recorder
back, and we don't use it for tv much any way.

No problem :) I think I recall that vlc doesn't have a 'slave' mode as 
such like xine or mplayer and can't be controlled with lirc. Maybe that 
has changed or there's another way to work around it at this stage. I 
guess those using it must not be using a remote to control it?

 If you go into the 'watch a video' menu and access your recorded show 
 through that then the 'play with alternate player' choice you make 
 should work. Check the log files to confirm which player freevo is calling.

 It appears the problem is with Freevo.  The edl file is created 
 correctly by the commserver, and works as expected on command line.  
 However, when I select Play with Alternative Player and select 
 Mplayer,  it ignores the edl file.

 You are right, the commdetect server just scan the video for black 
 frames and create an EDL file which is used by mplayer to skip specific 
 parts of the video. Check the mplayer documentation for more infos on 
 EDL files.
 I don't know if it works with xine too.

 Anyway, as any other server helper scripts, you have to run the 
 commdetect server before you launch the main freevo application, by 
 issuing the following command:

 freevo commdetectserver --daemon

 the same applies to the encoding server, if you need it:

 freevo encodingserver --daemon

 You can get a list of the helper script available, running:

 freevo --help

VLC does have a very good slave mode (much better than mplayer or xine).
But I was under the impression that the video.vlc plugin only played
http/rtsp streams as it had been written to work with IPTV?
