[Freevo-users] recording server, how can this work???
All,
I tried getting the recording server to work, but I get no items in the
menu. OK so I look at the source code for dvdbackup.py. I see this
if item.type == 'video' and item.mode == 'dvd' and hasattr(item,
'info_type'):
if item.info_type == track: #and item.media and
item.media.devicename:
#for dvd on disc
self.dvdsource = item.filename
self.title = int(split(item.url)[-1])
if hasattr(item, 'media') and hasattr(item.media,
'devicename'):
#we have a real dvd disc
self.dvdsource = item.media.devicename
self.title = int(item.url[6:])
self.item = item
return [ (self.encoding_profile_menu, _('Backup this dvd
title...')) ]
return []
Now there must be at least something wrong with this indentation because
a real DVD does not have a info_type.
So I hacked the code around a little to make sure that we got to the bit
that has the comment on the real dvd disc in it. Next issue: the url ==
dvd:// according to the log, which int should be put here in self.title?
At this point I am stumped. How can this code work? Am I missing something?
I have looked at both the plugin for 1.5.x as well as the version in
1.7.0rc1.
Input is greatly appreciated.
Paul

You're not backing up a DVD but a title and titles have info_type. If I try and backup a DVD I come by the same code, and it is completely bypassed (because a DVD has no info_type) so I see no entry in the menu and can not backup. That is what I see happening. Is that correct? You need to go to the sub-menu (Enter) of a DVD and then select a title and then the sub-menu of a title, you will find it there. The plug-in has a bad name is should really be called backupdvdtrack. Duncan - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Also look in /var/log/freevo/recordserver-0.log (or in /tmp/ if you don't have /var/log/freevo), there may be errors there as well. Even if you have duplicate plugin.activates in your config (you should fix that!) recordserver will only initialize the recording plugin. -Rob --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.

[Freevo-users] Recording server
Hi, Still troubled by trying to get the recording server to work... First to get it out the way.. Can the record server run without XMLTV installed? Assuming it can, how can I start the Record Server manually as a check? Whatever I try and organise the web interface resolutely announces the record server is offline/not active etc. RH9 Freevo via RPM 1.3.4 Mplayer 0.92 and mencoder I have tried to follow the instructions and have crontab running record_daemon.py every minute Added the fix to avoid crashes (docs section 2.3.4) Edited inittab according to the doc page (though I don't have a boot directory, but the record_server_init file is in the helpers directory within freevo??? Tried ./freevo recordserver with no apparent effect (merely starts freevo as usual) Where do I go from here?

[Freevo-users] recording server connection to freevo?
Hi, I started messing around with freevo last week, and I am really impressed with where it's at! I'd like to help out with the effort if I can find a spot to apply myself. I have a question, but first - some info on my setup: Freevo version: 3.5 video card: ATI TV-Wonder VE (Actually, it works pretty good considering the $$) OS: RH 9 Kernel: 2.4.20-23 I've installed from rpm's. On to the question: The recording server is looking for a file called record_schedule.xml. The local_conf.py file (and of course the corresponding freevo_config.py file * see note below) has the following setting: REC_SCHEDULE_FILE = '/tmp/freevo_record.lst' Even if they (freevo and the recording server) are pointed to the same file, they are different formats. Which means that when one selects a program and F6's to record it from freevo, the two entites will not meet in the middle - meaning the recording server never gets notification that there is something to record (a snippet from the recording server's log file): 2003/09/01 21:16 MDT [*RecordServer*] in checkToRecord 2003/09/01 21:16 MDT [*RecordServer*] GET: reading cached file (/var/cache/freevo/record_schedule.xml) 2003/09/01 21:16 MDT [*RecordServer*] Got ScheduledRecordings (version 2). 2003/09/01 21:16 MDT [*RecordServer*] ScheduledRecordings has 0 items. I've searched around quite a bit in the news group and documentation for the answer to this, and I'm hoping I will not look like the twit who is asking this question for the n'th time... But, here it goes: It doesn't seem like the linkage between freevo and the recording server can work at all. I'm somehow missing a big piece of the puzzle - how to either tell freevo to save the recording schedule in an XML format that the recording server will understand, or vice versa. The documentation on this is a little light. From subtle comments on the email list, there might be a large piece of documentation on the recording server that I've missed (including the setup of the web interface). I would love to help out on some of this. If you can help me understand the linkage, I can document it in a fuller fashion for the web based docs... Perhaps this is already fully explained in a web based doc that I am missing? Thanks for any help you can provide. cheers, Greg Note: - the subtle name difference in the freevo_config.py file vs. local_conf.py (which one is suppose to create to make the local modifications) hung me up for several minutes... It might be wise to highlight the config vs conf difference better on the web page. Maybe I'm the only one who missed this, so it's just my $0.02 worth. --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ___ Freevo-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users

If you use Freevo CVS you can check a couple of files out on a branch that let the main interface talk to record server. I have been busy moving in the last week or so and I need to make a couple of changes before committing them to the main branch. We are talking about making a release, maybe by this weekend, and indend on fixing this record server inconsistency. The documentation on this is a little light. From subtle comments on the email list, there might be a large piece of documentation on the recording server that I've missed (including the setup of the web interface).
