A quick fix for this would be to change the /etc/hosts file so that the
host name of computer didn't resolve to 127.0.0.1 but to the IP address
of the network interface that is used to talk to the HDHomeRun.

That will mean freevo can work out what IP address to tell the HDHomeRun
to send the packets to.

I'm back at this point
I found that the /tmp/freevo/live.buf file for the buffer was being
destroyed on reboot, so /tmp/freevo is the current file, and livepause
is not dying anymore

However, I'm not getting any tuning happening
the line which is setting the target is returning 'none'
hdhomerun_config 1110D413 set /tuner0>/target :1235

I've had some look at the code, and if 'none' it is supposed to set
localhost (i think)
but 
hdhomerun_config 1110D413 set /tuner0>/target none 
is going to the tuner, and it seems to do exactly nothing

I did try all three, before deciding that I wasn't getting very far and
faster video hardware was going to be necessary

What size buffer have you set? This could be that you don't have enough
space on the disk you're putting the ring buffer.The default is 2GB
(LIVE_PAUSE2_BUFFER_SIZE) with the file in /tmp/freevo/livepause
(LIVE_PAUSE2_BUFFER_PATH).

The livepause plugin does have the option to use either vlc, mplayer or
xine.(See LIVE_PAUSE2_PREFERRED_PLAYER)

# HDHomeRun
TV_VIDEO_GROUPS = [
 # Use this group for watching tv
 VideoGroup(vdev='<1110D413>:<1>',
group_type='hdhomerun',
desc='Watching Video Group',
)
]


Sadly, since a reboot following some upgrades, livepause is crashing.
I was hoping that a newer vlc etc might help.

the terminal output is "Exception: Livepause died!"
the error log says
Failed to initialise ringbuffer.
livepause-stderr-1000-1332796351.log (END)

Because this hardware is slow and vlc doesn't seem to have a framedrop
option like mplayer so that watching tv on this is painful (when done
through the X-server) i have ordered new hardware.

So for tuning to ABC News 24 this is what the code should be doing:

hdhomerun_config  set /tuner/channel 21950
hdhomerun_config  set /tuner/program 672
hdhomerun_config  set /tuner/target :1235

Where  and  come from splitting the video device at 
':', and  is the ip address detected for the Freevo PC.
At a guess I would imagine it's the id of the HDHomeRun that is a problem, 
what have you got you video groups set to?

Cheers

Adam

I have got tuner information set in the local_conf.py
ie 
TV_CHANNELS = [
( 'abcnews24.free.au' ,'ABC News 24' , '21950.672' ),
( 'abc1.free.au', 'ABC1' , '21950.673' ),
( 'abc2.free.au', 'ABC2', '21950.674' ),
( 'abc3.free.au', 'ABC3', '21950.676'),
( 'sbshd.free.au', 'SBS HD' , '56450.853' ),
( 'sbsone.free.au', 'SBS ONE', '56450.849' ),
( 'sbstwo.free.au', 'SBS TWO', '56450.850' ),
( 'win.free.au', 'WIN', '17750.6151' ),
( 'prime7.free.au', 'Seven', '17750.6039' ),
( 'sc10.free.au', 'TEN', '17750.6167' ),
( 'gem.free.au', 'GEM', '54350.6168' ),
( 'go!.free.au', 'GO!', '54350.6152' ),
( 'one.free.au', 'ONE', '55750.6169'  ),
( 'eleven.free.au', 'Eleven', '55750.6153' ),
]


but none of these channels actually tune.
I now get a GUI which says "Tuning to ABC News 24"
and in the terminal I get

sh: 1: Syntax error: redirection unexpected
(repeated 3 or 4 times)

It actually detunes the channel when I check the result.

This will be wrong too - although i haven't noted any code calling for
the device from this line in local_conf.py

# TV_SETTINGS = 'NORM INPUT CHANLIST DEVICE'
TV_SETTINGS = 'pal television australia /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0'

But how does Freevo and livepause tune the HDHomerun?
No use recording white noise
and at this point it hangs, responds to no input from the keyboard and
I have to resort to kill

Actually that won't work as the HDHomeRun isn't a device attached to a 
computer, but to the network.
You'll need to use netcat (or vlc) to dump the stream to disk.

Having looked at the code, the format of the channel names has to be
..

You'll also need hdhomerun_config installed.

Re: [Freevo-users] livepause

[Phil Raymond]

Liz,

Just to add to what Adam said for recording, I think the commands I use for 
recording a stream from my Hauppauge HD PVR will also work for recording on the 
HD Home Run. I added this to the Freevo wiki for TV-DVB config 2 years ago. By 
the way, after you start the record server, you'll need to open a second 
terminal to start Freevo. When you go to schedule a recording, it will say the 
record server is not on. Ignore the warning and schedule one anyway, it should 
record. Let us know if you have any luck with this.I use video1, since video0 
is my web cam. Here it is

VCR_CMD = 'cat/dev/video1> %(filename)s + & sleep %(seconds)s ; kill -9 $!' 
#(or video0)
TV_DEVICE = '/dev/video1' #(or video0)
TV_INPUT = 1 #(or 0)
TV_REC_SIZE = (1920, 1080)
TV_RECORD_FILE_SUFFIX = '.mpg'
DEBUG = 5
DEBUG_CHILDAPP = 1

Re: [Freevo-users] livepause external turner

[Dan Schmidt]

Thanks Adam!  Unfortunately, that locked it up.  :-(  Thanks much for
your help! 

The first problem was easy:

  File "/usr/share/pyshared/freevo/tv/plugins/livepause/controllers.py",
line 216, in __init__
COntroller.__init__(self)
NameError: global name 'COntroller' is not defined

That was an easy fix - cApitalization problem.  Next problem:

  File "/usr/share/pyshared/freevo/tv/v4l2.py", line 429, in setinputbyname
(index, name, type, audioset, tuner, std, status) = self.inputs[v_input]
AttributeError: IVTV instance has no attribute 'inputs'

Not as easy.  Still tries to tune twice.  Obviously didn't catch the
exception.

428 try:
429 (index, name, type, audioset, tuner, std, status) =
self.inputs[v_input]
430 self.setinput(index)
431 except KeyError, e:
432 _debug_('setinputbyname failed: %s' % (e), DERROR)
433 _debug_('possible are: %r' % (self.inputs.keys()), DINFO)
434 raise
435 _debug_('setinputbyname: %s->%s set' % (name, index))

Any suggestions appreciated!

Hi Dan you need to change the group_type to 'ivtv' for it to work, as
you've got it at the moment it's trying to connect dvbstreamer!

Sometimes it comes up with a screen that says "Tuning to channel 4" but
it never does.  Also, looking at the IR, it looks like it's trying to
tune to the channel twice.  Any ideas much appreciated!

plugin.remove('tv.mplayer')
plugin.activate('tv.livepause')
LIVE_PAUSE2_BUFFER_PATH = "/var/tmp/livepause"

TV_VIDEO_GROUPS = [
VideoGroup(vdev='0',
   adev=None,

   tuner_type='external',
   tuner_norm=CONF.tv,
   tuner_chanlist=CONF.chanlist,
   group_type='dvb',

]

I know the feeling, my only involvement with freevo at he moment is the

No, thkx 4 asking.  Unfortunately,  I have had NO time to play with the
Freevo, but I hope to soon as the xine ivtv plugin is not stable. 
Also, I have not forgotten that I need to update the wiki with the
other information.

Actually, livepause plugin does support IVTV. You'll need the svn version
of the livepause app (svn co
https://dvbstreamer.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dvbstreamer/livepause/trunk)
as the released version has a bug that can cause it to lock up if it
looses sync with the stream generated by the ivtv card (due to another
process using 100% cpu for example).

To use the plugin make sure that the group_type in the VideoGroup settings
is set to 'ivtv'. See the wiki or plugin information for more details on
getting the plugin setup.

[Freevo-users] livepause external turner

[Dan Schmidt]

I have heard it said that the livepause plugin (dvbstreamer) does not
yet support svideo/external tuner.  Does anybody know if there is a
workaround? 

If not, I suppose that leaves only ivtv xine which appears to randomly
lock up on launch.

I finally got around to testing this patch and found it does indeed resolve 
the livepause instant recording problems, so would recommend it for 
inclusion in svn.

I mention that I have successfully tested this patch on the 1.9.0 release. 
I see no reason why it would not also work in the 1.9.1 branch or current 
svn, but I have other problems with both of those (without the patch) which 
stop me really testing it there.

Yep, Duncan hasn't committed the patch yet. You could try applying the
patch yourself and she if it does resolve the problem.

Hmmm, let's take a step back. In my freevo-1.x tree, "svn update" says "At 
revision 11637.", however src/tv/plugins/livepause/record.py does not 
include the above patch. Is that as it should be?

The websvn is lying, the actual revision of the repo is 11637, I've run
into this in the past as well. I believe (and I could be wrong here) that
the websvn isn't working on the repo but a copy of it.

Thanks Adam

By chance I found that this issue is already in the tracker, with a patch 
for both the problems I mentioned, plus a third ("cancel_save") which I 
have also encountered. I haven't tested the patch yet, but thanks m0y! Here 
is the reference:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2888365&group_id=46652&atid=446895

If I understand correctly this patch is rev 11634, while the freevo-1.x 
repository (http://svn.freevo.org/listing.php?repname=Freevo+1.x&;) stops at 
11632. Is there some systematic way to see such "proposed" patches, or does 
one just check through the bug reports?

I think you are correct current_buffer_time should indeed be start_time

I have to say that I possibly didn't test this as well as I should, its
one of those features I rarely use and when I want to use it and it fails
I forget I need to fix it :-P.

Hmm indeed, can't see just by looking why this shouldn't work. That'll
need some further investigation.

[Freevo-users] livepause instant recording troubles

[Philip Tuckey]

Hi all, and in particular Adam I hope

This is for freevo version 1.9.0. When watching dvb tv with livepause, if I 
press the "REC" button on the remote I get an error saying global name 
'current_buffer_time' is not defined in tv/plugins/livepause/record.py, 
line 66, in start_recording - see the traceback below.

Having done a search through the code, current_buffer_time only seems to 
appear in this file and I can't see where its value would be set, but maybe 
I'm not understanding something. However, on line 66, is 
current_buffer_time not rather meant to be start_time, set on line 65 or 
line 60? Also there seems to be the same problem on line 69, the other 
occurrence of current_buffer_time.

Yes I should test this myself, but I am currently running my distribution's 
packages and it will take me little time and effort to set up my own copy 
of the source and build it.

Hmmm, since I am crashing on line 66 of record.py, that means the call to 
_get_program on line 56 didn't work, which looks like another problem as my 
guide is working. Oh well, one thing at a time.

Thanks
Philip

There was no blue OSD originally, that's Hennes skin, the base skin (for
video playback and volume) was all white.
Seek/Pause/Toggle OSD (Display) have been modified to use the OSD, as well
as anything that tries to display a message (like bookmarks).

It is possible that certain keys were being sent directly to xine rather
than freevo, I don't use lirc so can't really help on that front.

Cheers

Adam

Well with xine I wasn't getting the nice blue OSD, I was getting the default
white play/pause symbols that xine has by default.
Are you saying to didn't keep with the blue OSD for pause/play but stayed
with white? Confused.
What functions for xine did you change the OSD for . I did see the blue
volume bar, but don't remember any other blue OSD.

I rather suspect you had assumed that my poor attempt for a OSD was in
fact the Xine OSD, I had made it rather similar. Its far easier to copy
something than come up with something new when your not an artist (or
artistic :0) )
If the volume was working then the rest of the OSDs should have been
too.

Hi Philip,

If you find a good TvTime de-interlacer that works with xine, please let the
list know .. I would love to go back to xine as the
audio sync is better and channel changes faster like you say ..

Bernie

Thats not quite correct, the new OSD works for both Xine and Mplayer when
playing movies or using livepause. It also works for vlc when using
livepause. However it doesn't yet display the information screen when
playing movies through xine.

Thanks for that, it made me look over the unread messages of the past few 
months and find the thread about the new OSD. Which looks good but only 
works with mplayer, according to the author's note accompanying the patch. 
However for me, livepause channel changing is significantly faster with 
xine and vlc than with mplayer, so I haven't taken the trouble to update to 
svn in order to try the new OSD.

For xine I ended up finding (as you certainly know) that one can add "-D" 
to the options to turn on deinterlacing, or bind the corresponding command 
to a button on the remote. Google also finds a little bit of information 
about how to use the tvtime deinterlacing filters in xine postprocessing. I 
haven't played around with it all enough yet to find what suits me.

Hi Philip,
I couldn't get xine working with a good de-interlacer at all. Now that we
have a good OSD with the lastest freevo svn I have gone back to mplayer with
it's
better range of de-interlacers  i.e yadif and mcdeint

Could you please post the config you ended up with for xine for livepause -

Hi, make sure lirc is disabled for mplayer and xine (i.e you have --no-lirc
or somesuch in the options line in local.conf.py)

As for the pause issue with mplayer, I have had the same and there doesn't
seem to be a fix (see my other thread on that topic). It seems that with
mplayer pause and OSD interfer with each other,
if you turn off OSD in mplayer pause works. I have given up on mplayer with
livepause, I now use xine for everything.

No this sounds like you are controlling Xine/Mplayer directly rather than
controlling freevo which then controls Xine/Mplayer. Are you using lircd
or just a keyboard? If your using the keyboard then you need to make sure
the freevo window has got input focus.

[Freevo-users] Livepause issues

[lhuizi...@iinet.net.au]

Hi there.
I seem to be getting there with a setup that might be close to what I had with MP on windows.
I am trying to set up livepause with mplayer on my freevo box and have issues with seeking in a livepause stream.
So far I have a fairly minimal ~/.freevo/local_conf.py as follows
CONFIG_VERSION = 5.27

plugin.remove('tv.mplayer')
plugin.activate('tv.livepause')
LIVE_PAUSE2_BUFFER_SIZE= 2048 # Size of the live buffer in MB. (Default 2GB)
LIVE_PAUSE2_BUFFER_PATH='/home/freevo/.freevo/tmp/live.buf' # Location of the live buffer
LIVE_PAUSE2_PREFERRED_PLAYER= 'mplayer'

SYS_SHUTDOWN_CONFIRM   = 0
ROM_DRIVES = [('/mnt/dvd', '/dev/sr0', 'DISC')]
START_FULLSCREEN_X = 1
FREEVO_TEMPDIR = '/home/freevo/.frexevo/tmp'

TV_CHANNELS = [
#   ( 'XMLTV NAME', 'FREEVO DISPLAY NAME', 'CHANNELS.CONF NAME' ),
    ( 'abc.hd.net.au', 'ABC HD', 'ABC HDTV'),
    ( 'abc.net.au', 'ABC', 'ABC1'),
    ( 'abc.hd.net.au', 'ABC2', 'ABC2'),
    ( 'abc.hd.net.au', 'SBS ONE', 'SBS ONE'),
    ( 'abc.hd.net.au', 'SBS TWO', 'SBS TWO'),
    ( 'abc.hd.net.au', 'Southern Cross', 'SCTV Hobart'),
    ( 'abc.hd.net.au', 'SC HD', 'SCTV - HD'),
    ( 'abc.hd.net.au', 'WIN HD', 'WIN HD'),
    ( 'abc.hd.net.au', 'GO!', 'GO!'),
    ( 'abc.hd.net.au', 'WIN', 'WIN TELEVISION'),
    ( 'abc.hd.net.au', 'TDT', 'TDT - SD'),
    ( 'abc.hd.net.au', 'ONE HD', 'ONE HD Tasmania') ]


TV_VIDEO_GROUPS = [
 # Use this group for watching tv
 VideoGroup(vdev='0',
    group_type='dvb',
    desc='Watching Video Group',
    ) ]

MPLAYER_ARGS = { 'dvd'    : '-cache 8192',
 'vcd'    : '-cache 4096',
 'cd' : '-cache 1024 -cdda speed=2',
 'tv' : '-nocache',
 'ivtv'   : '-cache 8192',
 'dvb'    : '-vf pp=de/fd -cache 4096',
 'avi'    : '-cache 5000 -idx',
 'rm' : '-cache 5000 -forceidx',
 'rmvb'   : '-cache 5000 -forceidx',
 'default': '-cache 5000'
 }

I haven't bothered to get  xmltv up and running yet obviously coz my xmltv names for channels aren't properly coded.  
The issue is, when I try to watch tv that is fine.  I can even pause tv which is cool (in mplayer, or xine).  However, rewinding is weird.  
Left key seems to create a bookmark, but i can't navigate back and forth in the stream when it is pressed.  It just seems to pause the stream for a sec, then continues on from that point.  Once I press left or right (which is worse) the stream gets jittery.
Is this something to do with the ip of where the stream is being sent to.
I am running Arch.
Cheers, Larry

I found that I was missing a font/link for mplayer as documented in another
thread I started.

So I have OSD back, but that pesky pause problem is still an issue.
Duncan/Adam any luck with this?
Is it possible to send the play/pause with a different interface, if mplayer
supports various interfaces like xine does.
Cheers,
Bernie

In an attempt to find more data on this issue, I have tried the latest svn
version of mplayer and for good luck compiled in the ffmpeg-mt library, but
find I now have no OSD at all even though I passed the --enable-menu option
to configure which is meant to enable OSD.
Is there anything I have to include in mplayer to enable it to show the
freevo OSD?
mplayer is pausing ok without the OSD present, which may give a clue to the
problem.

Thanks,
Bernie

Hi Adam,

Yes, I picked out the wrong mplayer.py, it is only when I am playing TV from
the guide that I have the pause issue.

Both of these values look fine, 2GB should be fine if you are watching SD
broadcasts it'll probably give you about an hours worth of buffer. If your
watch HD then you'll probably get around 20 minutes or so.

Can I just clarify something, the pause problem is happening when you
watch TV from the TV guide, correct? I'm just asking as the code you
picked out last time would indeed not pause as expected, but that is only
used when watching recorded TV or movies.

Cheers

 Hi Adam,

Really appreciate you having a look at this  I am not having much luck
getting this going at all.

By the way, what size cache is good for livepause? I find having no cache
gives me jumpy playback after a time, cache=8192 seems good, and what size
livepause buffer should I use, I am currently using the default 2G ...

Cheers,
bernie

This behaviour of PAUSE or PLAY was the same in 1.8.3 and before.

   ^^
There is however a bug here, self.get_time_info should be
self.get_stored_time_info, otherwise mplayer just resumes playback.

The code is also from video/plugins/mplayer.py and not
tv/plugins/livepause/players.py which is used by the livepause plugin, so
although its a bug its not relevant to the problem with livepause. I'm now
at a loss to understand why it isn't pausing, I haven't had a chance to
test this on a proper system yet. The only other reason I could see for
livepause not pausing would be that the buffer was too small and it had
resumed playback due to reaching the end of the buffer, but that isn't
shown in the log output.

With any luck I may get a chance to look at this, this weekend but I can't
promise anything.

Cheers

Adam

Looks a bit odd as the pause command should not un-pause a play-back.
mplayer can be odd at times.

Try adding to your local_conf.py:
EVENTS['video']['PLAY'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg='speed_set 1.0')

Setting the speed to 1.0 is normal playback.

> It seems the comment says it all 
> Do you have a suggested fix for this? I don't have any knowledge of python.

If you want to change to code then the second self.app.write could be:
self.app.write('speed_set 1.0\n')

Unless your remote is sending two consecutive pause command this does
not explain why the pause is not working.

For most of the commands in the lircrc it is useful to have the repeat=0
option as this should stop repeated events being sent.

begin
button = PLAY
prog   = freevo
repeat = 0
config = PLAY
end
begin
button = PAUSE
prog   = freevo
repeat = 0
config = PAUSE
end

In osd.py at about line 530 there is a print, if you uncomment this then
the events that are received from lirc will be printed out.

You can also make sure that the option -nolirc is in the
MPLAYER_ARGS_DEF setting then lirc will not be used for mplayer and only
commands from freevo will be used.

Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash

[Bernard Mentink]

Good suggestion Duncan,

However, I am only getting a PAUSE command (and only one) in the ircat for
freevo, nothing in the mplayer window.

I even removed the .lirc/mplayer file, in fact even removed the .lirc
directory, restarted lirc and still have the same issue. Even though freevo
sees only one PAUSE mplayer seems to see two events ... is there any way to
see what freevo is sending mplayer when it gets the single PAUSE command?

Is there possible a bug here for the mplayer tv situation? How does the
livepause application fit in here? As you know I am running DVBStreamer to
livepause to mplayer, is it maybe livepause that is not doing the right
thing?

Thanks,
Bernie

This should be easy if you can ssh to the box or see a couple of xterms

You need to:
# ircat --config=/etc/freevo/lircrc freevo
# ircat mplayer


If you see anything in the mplayer window then you are correct and have
two events being sent. One to freevo, which sends a command to the stdin
of mplayer and one on mplayer lirc interface.

Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash

Hi Adam,
Thanks but I had already removed that line after you suggested that earlier
..

As a workaround for this issue, I am going to use a spare button on the
remote to send mplayer the "p" command, so pausing mplayer directly.
Actually, light bulb time , I wonder if lirc is sending mplayer a pause
command as well? as Mythbuntu sets up all the lircrc files for all the
different players ..

Maybe mplayer is getting a pause from freevo and also one from lirc direct
...

I will investigate and let you know.

Cheers,
Bernie

Well there appears to be only 1 pause event here so I don't know why
mplayer would be resuming, unless it is because a message is being
displayed which cause mplayer to resume. I have found that mplayer has a
nasty habit of ignoring the pause state an just going ahead and start
playing again when you ask it todo anything while it paused. I expect
this is the problem. Try removing the
plugin.remove('display.x11_overlay_display') line from you local_conf.py


Cheers

Adam

That was after watching live TV, hitting the PAUSE button once, then exiting
live TV back to the guide. It looks like only one PAUSE was detected however
mplayer paused briefly then continued to play.


I don't know if it helps, but here is a dump of the mplayer log file (did a
grep on PAUSE)

Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash

[Bernard Mentink]

Ok, will do that when I get home tonight. I notice I can use the mplayer
pause fuction (pressing 'p' or 'spacebar' on the keyboard) will pause
livepause correctly, just not the remote.
When the remote sends the PAUSE command, does Freevo in turn send a 'p' to
mplayer if it is the player, or does it do the pause via the livepause app,
how does this work?

I will check my lircrc file to make sure I hav'nt turned key repeat on by
mistake on that button as well. However it does work correctly on Xine and
VLC.

Cheers,
bernie

Hmm, I've just tried this out (albeit on a VirtualBox Image) and I can
pause live TV while using mplayer, is it possible you are getting some
king of double key press issue? I think the only way you are going to
debug this is to enabled logging for freevo and childapps and send me the
output.

Add the following lines to your local_conf.py

DEBUG = 1
LOGGING = logging.DEBUG
DEBUG_CHILDAPP = 1

Hi again,
Adam, is there any chance this "bug" with mplayer and no pausing of
livepause buffer, be fixed any time soon? Do I have to file a bug report
somewhere?
I do prefer mplayer for watching TV as it has some really nice deinterlacers
and post processing filters .. :-)

But I would still be interested in seeing the options passed to Xine for TV
use.

Bernie

Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash

[Bernard Mentink]

Hi Adam,
Would you mind posting your settings/options etc for xine for TV.

Also what is the correct way to pass options to mplayer for TV use, there
seems to be conflicting methods in the local.conf file.

Thanks,
Bernie

Ahh, actually I should have said don't remove the plugin, you'll just get
the bog standard text only OSD.

Bug with the code, I don't use mplayer so I expect its not been tested
enough. I use xine as it seems to be a reasonable compromise between
mplayer (no subtitles) and vlc (subtitle but on my systems uses the wrong
XV port so colors are way off).

On VLC, the name of the settings for options is:

VLC_OPTIONS = ''

VLC isn't really very well integrated into freevo at the moment, I think
its only been added for watching internet TV (tv.vlc and video.vlc)

Hi Adam,

Excellent. I installed kaa.display and removed the other plugin as you
suggested and now I have OSD working .. cool!

One small issue, I can't pause TV any more, it pauses momentary then
continues, any ideas what is happening now ?

Thanks,

Hi Adam,

>Set LIVE_PAUSE2_PREFERRED_PLAYER to vlc in your local_conf.py

Done that, what I was after was the options to pass to VLC for
de-interlacing etc ... guess I will have to read the VLC docs

>One very useful command to remember (as the info is more up to date than
>the wiki) is freevo plugins -i 

Yes, found that, but unfortunately the info on some plugins is
very sparse ... try doing it for the tv.vlc ..

Thanks for all your other comments. I would be only too happy to help out
with the docummentation, but expecting this from 1st
time users of freevo is a bit of a tall ask  let me at least learn about
what is there at present to catch up a bit  ;-)

Cheers,
Bernie

I haven't checked the wiki, but unless you explicitly install
kaa.display, then you probably don't have it installed.

That would be xfce window manager.

You do it by adding plugin.remove('dialog.x11_overlay_display') to your

Set LIVE_PAUSE2_PREFERRED_PLAYER to vlc in your local_conf.py

One very useful command to remember (as the info is more up to date than
the wiki) is freevo plugins -i

Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash

[Bernard Mentink]

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have installed kaa.display, I installed latest
svn versions of kaa and freevo as per the wiki, which I beleive installs
kaa.display by default.

When I say change channel, the mplayer window playing the TV goes away and
is replaced momentarily by a black window with an orange bar OSD, then it
goes away and the mplayer video is back, the OSD bar doesn't overlay onto
the video at all. It is in a separate window. Same happens when seeking
fwd/back on paused TV.  Also, I do not get any volume control OSD while
watching TV. Is there any OSD documentation anywhere?

By the way I am running X11. The box was a Mythbuntu box. I am wanting to
ditch Mythtv so am trying Freevo on the same box. Mythbuntu uses xfce and I
am not sure what window manager it uses.
I did try "freevo -fs" at one time, but all I ended up with is a black
screen and a crashed box  must be some dependancy I am missing.

How do I get rid of the "dialog.x11_overlay_display" ??

Also I would like to replace mplayer as my tv video player with VLC, does
anyone have the options to put into local_conf, including deinterlacing etc
for TV ..

With those two things sorted by TV experience is complete :-)

Thanks,
Bernie

Apologies I've been on vacation otherwise I would have commented
earlier, anyway...
 
I think you are probably refering to the new OSD that is a shaped window
over the player (in your case mplayer). I can't remember whether you
said if you had installed kaa.display?
If you have and you haven't removed the dialog.x11_overlay_display, it
could be that your window manager (if you have one) isn't presenting the
window over the top of the video. If your going to run this as a
standalone freevo box I would suggest not bothering with a window
manager altogether.

Cheers

Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash

Hi Evan,

I thought that the OSD was supplied by freevo as there was info regarding
OSD in the local_cong.py file, I guess that was a wrong assumption for TV.

I am using mplayer, so not sure what OSD to expect. I was sort of expecting
volume level to show up and maybe channel info etc

What should I be getting? I am getting nothing at all. Thinking about it
though, my remote is sending commands to freevo, I guess freevo is not
passing them on to mplayer. Do I have to configure lirc for mplayer to get
it's OSD showing up? Seems strange as the volume is being handled by freevo,
why not handle the OSD as well ...

Thanks,
Bernie

Are you sure the problem is that the OSD is not showing up or that you
are expecting the wrong one?

Generally a window manager is not required for Freevo. The exception is
when you want to run external commands from the Freevo command menu.

What you need to remember about Freevo is that it is the glue that
sticks applications together to provide a multimedia system.

So if you need to know what the options are for a specific application
the use the application's documentation.

The Wiki is the property of the community and it is the task of the
community to keep it up to date!

Anyway after my little rant all plug-in are self-documented but may be
the documentation is not as perfect as it should be.

The trick is to first find the plug-in your interested in.

# freevo plugins -l | grep livepause
tv.livepausePlugin to allowing pausing live TV.
# freevo plugins -i tv.livepause
...

I'll add a bit to the quick-start guide in the wiki for this.

The same information is also on the Freevo webserver under the help menu.

TV is the hardest part of Freevo to configure but once you have archived
this the rest is a piece of cake.

It can fill the screen but not be fullscreen :).  basically Fullscreen
ignores the
window manager in some programs.  also I think a window manger is required.
I'm personally using compiz(overkill if you ask me) to manage the screen.
Not sure of another that works correctly though. :(

Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash

[Bernard Mentink]

So you mean I can't play anything full screen and have OSD as well? Hmmm ..

I had a look through local_conf.py for -fs options and there are none. I did
an info on the video.mplayer plugin and it showed no options by default. So
I don't know what is telling it to play full screen? Do I specifically have
to give an option to mplayer to play in a window?

For mplayer the -fs option makes it fullscreen and over all other
windows.  What I
mean by floating is a normal window that a window manager manages and
can be moved.
set the following for instance will keep freevo itself from doing this.:
START_FULLSCREEN_X = 0
Check your local_conf.py for "-fs" for various video files you play as well.
also a window manger may be nessessary?

Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash

Hi Jonathan,

I am using mplayer at present, do I have to make it play in a window instead
of full-screen?
That seems strange ... how do you setup a "floating window", I am not sure
what you mean here.

Thanks,
Bernie

Shouldn't be.  if the player you are using is displaying fullscreen rather than
a floating window that may fill the screen, it may be that the player is above \
the OSD.

Thanks, seems the Wiki needs updating again ;-)

By the way, I would like to use VLC to watch TV (and it is recommended ..)
but there is no
examples in local_conf.py to pass options etc, only examples for mplayer and
xine. Is there some other documentation missing?

Thanks,

Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash

[Bernard Mentink]

Ok, have done. But do I have to run the record server i.e:

"freevo recordserver start" ?? I notice when I do that from a shell, the
command does not return .. i.e it doesn't seem to start a separate process,
but when I start freevo proper, it does recognize the server, as it doesn't
complain any more about it not being started.

I am confused, why the above command doesn't return though, why would you
have to give it start/stop commands if it doesn't run as a daemon process?

Thanks,
Bernie

Try that in your local_conf:

plugin.remove('tv.generic_record')
plugin.activate('tv.dvbstreamer.record') 


I updated recently freevo from 1.8.3 to 1.9 and recording is working OK but 
livepause not.

Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash

[Bernard Mentink]

Ok, not getting any replies,  I found the issue myself. It seems I had to
replace the LIVE_PAUSEBUFFER with ..PAUSE2.. not ..PAUSE.. etc.

LIVE_PAUSE2_BUFFER_SIZE=128
LIVE_PAUSE2_BUFFER_PATH='/tmp/live.buf' # Location of the live buffer.
LIVE_PAUSE2_PREFERRED_PLAYER='xine'

This is "not" documented anywhere, I would have thought that the Wiki should
have this upto date info ??

I only managed to fix this by coming across a post with these settings about
another livepause issue, otherwise I would still be struggling.

How come convert_config  doesn't pick this up? I thought that was what it
was for..

Well now that I have TV working, how do I get OSD to work??

And how does record work, do I have to have the record server running, and
if so, how does it know about dvbstreamer, it seems all the record server
docs are for mplayer connected directly to the DVB card, not dvbstreamer ..

Thanks,
Bernie

Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash

[Bernard Mentink]

Anyone help??

I am just about at my limit to getting Freevo to work ... if I don't get
answer's soon I am going to give up on Freevo  shame really ... I wanted
to replace my Mythtv system .. thought it was simpler easier to install ...
but it's not .. setting up TV is a nightmare ..

Anyone have some suggestions before I give up ... I have even turned on
debugging, but no info in the logs, just the crash ...

[Freevo-users] Livepause crash

[Bernard Mentink]

Hi All,

I get the following after trying to tune into a channel using DVBServer and
livepause, it crashes Freevo so that I have to kill that process..

I should be able to tune into a channel even without current EGP data ...
correct?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
Bernie

Sorry for the late reply,

I think it may be possible (please someone correct me) that you are one of
the first people to try getting this to work.

But basically you need to activate the livepause plugin,
plugin.activate('tv.livepause')

and then add the hdhomerun to your video groups
TV_VIDEO_GROUPS = [
 # Use this group for watching tv
 VideoGroup(vdev=':',
group_type='hdhomerun',
desc='Watching Video Group')]

where  is the id that you would pass to hdhomerun_config to
control your box and tuner is the tuner number to control.

Then you'll need to configure TV_CHANNELS

TV_CHANNELS = [('','',''),
   ...
  ]

Where  is the id in the xmltv file you've grabbed,  will be displayed by freevo in the guide and  is
the usual US syntax for specifying a station ie 48.1

The reason the documentation is a bit sparse is as I say you may be the
first to try it and I don't live in the US so can't give you exact
details.
If you do find some issue please do report them it.

Cheers

Adam

[Freevo-users] livepause and vlc 0.9.x

[Jonathan Isom]

Hello
   I noticed that the livepause plugin now uses vlc to display the overlay
(I'm real observant, Today at least :)  However with the 0.9.x series vlc wants
an actual image to start.
vlc --sub-filter vlc --sub-filter [EMAIL PROTECTED] --logo-file
/tmp/vlcosd.png -I rc video
will work if /tmp/vlcosd.png exists ,and
vlc --sub-filter vlc --sub-filter [EMAIL PROTECTED] --logo-file dummy -I rc 
video
does not (probably should be reported to vlc)

also the object defined on commandline @mylogo needs to precede the commands.
for instance to display:
@mylogo logo-file /tmp/vlcosd.png
@mylogo logo-transparency 220
@mylogo logo-position 8

to Hide
@mylogo logo-file dummy

Is the kaa.display interface depreated?


also  this patch (also attached) I believe,  both changes are needed
for vlc 0.9.x
without the second change all you can do is pause, no seeking.

Which 'player' are you using i.e. do you have vlc installed? I know there
is an issue with some recent version of vlc where the rc interface no
longer works when used via a pipe, try this and see if it works:

cat | vlc -I rc --rc-fake-tty

then type quit, if vlc exits you don't have a problem, if it doesn't quit
you may want to change the LIVE_PAUSE2_PREFERRED_PLAYER variable to be 
'xine'

cheers

Adam

If I comment out lines 897-899 in osd.py, then the crash disappears
and I can watch TV.

Slight problem in that I don't appear to be able to *stop* watching
TV, but I imagine that's a remote -> signal name mapping issue.

OK, having installed the python2.5 debug symbols & the python .gdbinit
file, here's some more information:

(gdb) pyo surfobj
object  : 
type: pygame.Surface
refcount: 5
address : 0x85b19e0
$1 = void

So the surface object is Dead? That doesn't sound good.

(gdb) pyframe
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/osd.py (901): drawbox
(gdb) lineno
901

Does that help any?

OK. Having compiled my own pygame to get debugging symbols, here's the
backtrace:

So it looks like the first argument to this call isn't actually a Surface?

Is there some way to get the line of python that's actually calling
this code out of the interpreter from gdb?
