[Freevo-users] freevo remote volume does not work
Hello all, I am using freevo-1.9.0 on fedora 13 x86_64 with a microsoft mceusb remote, with mplayer. For some reason I can not get the remote volume up/down or mute when watching a movie in freevo. When I play a movie with just mplayer my remote volume up/down mute works. for some reason I can not get it working in freevo. Any ideas or suggestions would be great thanks -- Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users

The advantage is that it will work while watching moviesing, listening to music, etc. and the volume setting / mute state is not forgotten like when you use the standard installation. http://www.mizrahi.com.ve/projects/airmix/ Project page: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/airmix/ All you have to do is install it and run it in your freevo init script, I run it like this: airmix --daemon --color white Unfortunately I don't have any 64-bit RPM built yet, but the source is there and its really easy to build.

Re: [Freevo-users] freevo remote volume does not work
Dana- You really should not need an outside package for sound control in freevo. Are you sure you are using mplayer and not Xine when in freevo? I remember there having been an issue with wound control when watching TV and using Xine. Can you control the sound in Mplayer by remote when just running mplayer?

Re: [Freevo-users] freevo remote volume does not work
hei I have the same problem as Dana. In my case the mixer plugin is not able to start, since /dev/mixer do not exist on my raw Ubuntu 10.10 / Freevo 1.9.0 setup (oss-compat is not installed, I hope it is not necessary in 2011?). And the alsamixer/alsamixer2 plugins do not work as well: - failed to load plugin alsamixer start 'freevo plugins -l' to get a list of plugins Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/pyshared/freevo/plugin.py", line 571, in __load_plugin__ p = eval(object)() File "/usr/share/pyshared/freevo/plugins/alsamixer.py", line 77, in __init__ self.main_mixer = alsaaudio.Mixer(config.ALSA_MIXER_NAME, 0, config.ALSA_CARDID) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ALSA_MIXER_NAME' - defining ALSA_MIXER_NAME in the config do not help at all, thus I supposet that the plugins are corrupt...? what is now the best way? the way with oss (really???) or fixing the plugins? what are others using?

Well, then I will try out 1.9.2... is it already in the beta, or just in today svn? I tried to set 'Master', since this is set as default in the plugin code and this matches well with my setup. But then I gave up since another error raised (the same as in alsamixer 2). But my other question is, do you and others use alsamixer or the oss wraper? I think the alsamixer plugins are far away of ideal, I wrote once an alsamixer3 just for my needs (for 1.8.1) but this was not generally coded for others. My question now: is there a need to publish an improved alsamixer plugin or not (e.g. everybody is happy with oss wraper or today alsamixer?)

Here's the info for the plugin from 1.9.2 (I don't have 1.9.0 to hand): Description: Mixer for ALSA,. This plugin requires the alsaaudio module from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyalsaaudio/. For Debian, install the python-alsaaudio package and you're all set. In addition to the plugin specific variables this plugin also uses the following general configuration variables: | MIXER_MAJOR_CTRL = 'VOL' # Freevo takes control over one audio ctrl | # 'VOL', 'PCM' 'OGAIN' etc. | MIXER_MAJOR_MUTE_CTRL = 'PCM' # used in alsamixer.py, There are systems | # where volume and mute use different controls | MIXER_CONTROL_ALL = 1 # Should Freevo take complete control of audio | MIXER_VOLUME_STEP = 5 # Amount to increment the mixer volume | MIXER_VOLUME_MAX = 90# Set what you want maximum volume level to be. | MIXER_VOLUME_DEFAULT = 40# Set default volume level. Plugin configuration variables: --- ALSA_CARDID: Alsa Card id Default: 0 ALSA_LINE_CARDID: Alsa Line Card id Default: 0 ALSA_MIXER_NAME: Alsa Mixer Name Default: 'Master' ALSA_PCMMIXER_NAME: Alsa PCM Mixer Name Default: 'PCM' ALSA_LINEMIXER_NAME: Alsa Line Mixer Name Default: 'Line' ALSA_MICMIXER_NAME: Alsa Mic Mixer Name Default: 'Mic' ALSA_SYNCMIXER_NAME: Alsa Sync Mixer Name Default: 'Master Surround' ALSA_SYNCMIXER: Alsa Sync Mixer Name Default: '0' Cheers Adam-- What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
