This is how I'm planning to achieve this (I based my idea on this

Cool.
1) I fed xmltv file with program of my favorite radio station
2) I patched generic_record plugin to add a new field to VCR_CMD, called
`group-type'
3) I created additional instance of VideoGroup inside my local_conf.py
just to introduce a different group type ('stream'):
TV_VIDEO_GROUPS = [VideoGroup(vdev='/dev/video0',
adev=None,
input_type='Tuner 1',
input_num=0,
tuner_norm='pal',
tuner_chanlist='europe-east',
desc='Regular Cable',
group_type='ivtv',
record_group = None),
VideoGroup(vdev=None,
adev=None,
input_type='default',
desc='Internet recording',
group_type='stream',
record_group = 1),
]
4) I created a script /etc/freevo/record-stream.sh to perform audio
stream recording with mplayer:
#!/bin/sh
# arguments : channel_name_or_number frequency_in_MHz seconds_to_record
output_filename
exec mplayer -vc null -vo null -ao pcm:fast:file=$4 -endpos $3 $1
5) and command to call the script from within Freevo's generic_record
plugin:
VCR_CMD = '/etc/freevo/record-%(group-type)s.sh %(channel)s
%(frequencyMHz)s %(seconds)s %(filename)s'
Is point 6 missing?
7) and finally I created additional entry to channel list in
local_conf.py containing internet radio channel with stream address as
channel data and referencing to proper video group:
('429', 'PR3','mms://stream.polskieradio.pl/program3','','1')
Apart from that it seems reasonable up to here.
At this point I am able to schedule recording from Internet radio, but
'channel' parameter passing by generic_record plugin to recording script
is wrong!
The program data: ('429',
'PR3','mms://stream.polskieradio.pl/program3','','1')
is stored inside Freevo as: channel=TvChannel '429' 'PR3' 'http://'
As you can see stream address 'mms://...' was replaced with string:
'http://'
We can see it in main log file:
epg_types.py (348): add(channel_id='429', channel=TvChannel '429' 'PR3'
'http://')
I would like to write patch against that, but I cannot find the piece of
python code that stores channel data.
I don't know where that might be off the top of my head. Duncan might
though.
I would also like to know what determines recording file suffix, because
Freevo tries to store my audio data into file with avi suffix. I need to
know how to change that behavior and associate video group with
particuar suffix.
I'm pretty sure there's an option in local_conf.py for the record file
suffix no?
Any ideas on how to improve Internet stream recording are welcome.

Does it support watching as well as recording?

Duncan Hi Duncan, I'm not using any of these post-recording functions so, in theory, the second recording should start immediately after the first has ended. Can you think of anything else that might delay the second recording? The delay is exactly 1 minute every time, so I'm inclined to think it's something inherent in the code rather than due to the process waiting for an external event to complete (e.g., post-recording function).

Indeed, the closing scene and narrative are broadcast simultaneously with the closing credits. As soon as the credits end, the next program starts. They put their commercials (adverts) elsewhere during the program. Anyway, I found that recordserver.py has the following code to delay the start of recording until 45 seconds into the minute, so I changed it to sec=0: kaa.AtTimer(recordserver.handleAtTimer).start(sec=45) Now, recording starts at the top of the minute. Okay I'll make this a configuration variable so it can be changed without changing the code. The one remaining problem is that, if I have consecutive recordings, the second program's start time is delayed by 1 minute. This occurs even when using all the default settings (sec=45 in recordserver.py and no PRE/POST recording padding values in local_conf.py).

Art S R wrote: I checked my Freevo 1.7.x installation (where recordings start at the correct time) and see that recordserver.py (revision 9844) has some code to check for the top of the minute in startMinuteCheck(self) and minuteCheck(self). These aren't in recordserver.py for Freevo 1.8.3. Is there some other routine in the current version that syncs recordserver to start recordings at the beginning of the minute (0 seconds) instead of 45 seconds later? It is quite unusual for a broadcaster to be so punctual with their broadcast times. The default should start recording 15 seconds before the program is due to start recording, this is intended so that the TV card will be fully operational when the program starts. The IVTV cards take a few seconds to get the MPEG stream steady. It is quite possible that the code is incorrect and starts recording 45 seconds late. Need to test the code for the problem that you have described.

Re: [Freevo-users] Recording start time is late (Freevo 1.8.3)
Hi Duncan, Unfortunately, many US cable stations run their programs back-to-back with no commercial breaks in-between programs. Indeed, the closing scene and narrative are broadcast simultaneously with the closing credits. As soon as the credits end, the next program starts. They put their commercials (adverts) elsewhere during the program. Anyway, I found that recordserver.py has the following code to delay the start of recording until 45 seconds into the minute, so I changed it to sec=0: kaa.AtTimer(recordserver.handleAtTimer).start(sec=45) Now, recording starts at the top of the minute. The one remaining problem is that, if I have consecutive recordings, the second program's start time is delayed by 1 minute. This occurs even when using all the default settings (sec=45 in recordserver.py and no PRE/POST recording padding values in local_conf.py). In the recordserver log, it shows overlap_duration=0, yet the second recording doesn't start immediately even though the previous program has already ended: 2009-03-09 22:29:50,898 INFO recordserver.py (1337): RECORD_STOP Mon Mar 09 22:00-22:30 (22:00) I6.28455235.microsoft.com Frasier 2009-03-09 22:30:45,002 INFO recordserver.py (910): overlap_duration=0 2009-03-09 22:30:45,004 INFO recordserver.py (924): CALLED RECORD STOP 1: Mon Mar 09 22:00-22:30 (22:00) I6.28455235.microsoft.com Frasier 2009-03-09 22:30:45,005 INFO recordserver.py (942): delaying: Mon Mar 09 22:30-23:00 (22:30) I12.28456406.microsoft.com Family Guy 2009-03-09 22:31:45,002 INFO recordserver.py (944): going to record: Mon Mar 09 22:30-23:00 (22:30) I12.28456406.microsoft.com Family Guy 2009-03-09 22:31:45,005 INFO recordserver.py (962): start recording: Mon Mar 09 22:30-23:00 (22:30) I12.28456406.microsoft.com Family Guy In my Freevo 1.7.3 installation, the second program starts immediately after the first program ends, without the 1 minute delay.

It is quite unusual for a broadcaster to be so punctual with their broadcast times. The default should start recording 15 seconds before the program is due to start recording, this is intended so that the TV card will be fully operational when the program starts.

[Freevo-users] Recording issue
Hi, I'm using freevo 1.8.3 on a PC running Linux Mint. When I want to record something from TV, it seems that I first have to watch that channel. If I don't, the recording starts at the given time, but the channel isn't selected, so the recording I get is just snow. If after a successful recording another is scheduled on another channel, again the recording starts, but it stays on the last channel that was used or recorded from. So it seems the recording routine doesn't change the channel by itself. I'm using TvTime for viewing TV and have all my channels setup there, and freevo uses mencoder (mplayer) for recording. Do I have to setup a channel list for mencoder too, and if so, how? Thanx for any help here. -- Pt! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?

Hi,
I'm using freevo 1.8.3 on a PC running Linux Mint. When I want to record
something from TV, it seems that I first have to watch that channel. If I
don't, the recording starts at the given time, but the channel isn't
selected, so the recording I get is just snow.
If after a successful recording another is scheduled on another channel,
again the recording starts, but it stays on the last channel that was used
or recorded from. So it seems the recording routine doesn't change the
channel by itself.
I'm using TvTime for viewing TV and have all my channels setup there,
and freevo uses mencoder (mplayer) for recording. Do I have to setup a
channel list for mencoder too, and if so, how?
Thanx for any help here.
Need more information...
Basically the bits of freevo.conf and local_conf.py that deal with the
TV settings
Re: [Freevo-users] Recording not starting and problem with channel management
OK, I didn't get anywhere, so I tried this on another PC with a similar config. Again I used the mint repositories to install freevo 1.8.1 through synaptic and had similar porblems. I then used standard channels and not frequencies, again similar problems. Then I uninstalled freevo via synaptic and instead installed the freevo source. With that I got it working. Is there something broken with freevo and mint6 from the mint repositories?

back in March..maybe something has changed recently
It looks like Richard did a pretty good job with the doc for the plugin,
actually he's probably set the standard for others to follow. Here's the
output from running
freevo plugins -i tv.ivtv_xine_tv
Name: tv.ivtv_xine_tv
Type: Plugin
File: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/tv/plugins/ivtv_xine_tv.py
Description:
Plugin to watch live tv with xine. The plugin supports:
- Live TV: pause continue, seek forward backward
- Multiple digit channel selection: '1', '12, '123'
- Channel stack: jump to previously viewed channel
- Automatic jump: undo time shift on channel change
- OSD messges: volume and channel info
- Progressive seek: automatically increase seek speed
- Video groups: enable svideo and composite inputs
- Stop confirmation: press STOP twice to return to menu
- Record stream: press RECORD to record the current show
=
Requirements:
=
The following software must be installed:
- ivtv driver (for e.g. Haupage x50 series TV card)
version ivtv: = 0.10.6
- xine media player (built with xvmc / xxmc if available)
version xine-lib: = 1.1.9
version xine-ui: = 0.99.6
=
Configuration:
=
The following items should be configured in local_conf.py:
Freevo General Config Items
- TV_CHANNELS
- MIXER_VOLUME_TV_IN
- MIXER_MAJOR_CTRL
- XINE_COMMAND
- XINE_ARGS_DEF
Plugin Specific Config Items
- XINE_TV_VO_DEV
- XINE_TV_AO_DEV
- XINE_TV_TIMESHIFT_FILEMASK
- XINE_TV_CONFIRM_STOP
- XINE_TV_PROGRESSIVE_SEEK
- XINE_TV_PROGRESSIVE_SEEK_THRESHOLD
- XINE_TV_PROGRESSIVE_SEEK_INCREMENT
- XINE_TV_INPUT_REAL_CHANNELS
- XINE_TV_LIVE_RECORD
- XINE_TV_INDENT_OSD
=
Plugin Specific Events
=
The following additional events can be defined:
| # go back to the previous viewed channel
| EVENTS['tv']['SOME_LIRC_CMD'] = Event('POPCHANNEL')
|
| # show program info
| EVENTS['tv']['SOME_LIRC_CMD'] = Event('TOGGLE_OSD')
|
| # normal seek forward/backward by 1 second
| EVENTS['tv']['SOME_LIRC_CMD'] = Event(SEEK, arg=-1)
| EVENTS['tv']['SOME_LIRC_CMD'] = Event(SEEK, arg=+1)
=
Timeshift Filemask
=
The LIVE TV functionality requires a large buffer on disk
where the TV stream is being recorded while watching.
| # This specifies the path and filemask that xine uses for
| # timeshifting. File can get quite big (several gigabytes)
| XINE_TV_TIMESHIFT_FILEMASK = '/local/tmp/xine-buf-!/local/saved/!20'
Note: the format is 'a!b!c', where:
a = prefix (with path) for temporary file buffers
b = prefix (with path) for saved recordings
c = number of file buffers (200MB each) to use
The path for saved recordings must be on the same partition as
the path for temporary file buffers. If the save path is empty
then the saved files will be stored in the path for temporary
files.
=
STOP Confirmation
=
The STOP event will cancel the history of the TV stream. To
prevent that this happens by accident, a confirmation can be
requested.
| # Stop confirmation: press STOP twice to return to menu
| XINE_TV_CONFIRM_STOP = True
=
Progressive Seek
=
If progressive is enabled, then seeking in the TV stream
will speed up by 'increment' seconds every 'threshold'
seconds. Note, set the starting seek event to 1 second to

It looks like Richard did a pretty good job with the doc for the plugin,
actually he's probably set the standard for others to follow. Here's the
output from running
freevo plugins -i tv.ivtv_xine_tv
Name: tv.ivtv_xine_tv
Type: Plugin
File: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/tv/plugins/ivtv_xine_tv.py
Description:
Plugin to watch live tv with xine. The plugin supports:
- Live TV: pause continue, seek forward backward
- Multiple digit channel selection: '1', '12, '123'
- Channel stack: jump to previously viewed channel
- Automatic jump: undo time shift on channel change
- OSD messges: volume and channel info
- Progressive seek: automatically increase seek speed
- Video groups: enable svideo and composite inputs
- Stop confirmation: press STOP twice to return to menu
- Record stream: press RECORD to record the current show
=
Requirements:
=
The following software must be installed:
- ivtv driver (for e.g. Haupage x50 series TV card)
version ivtv: = 0.10.6
- xine media player (built with xvmc / xxmc if available)
version xine-lib: = 1.1.9
version xine-ui: = 0.99.6
=
Configuration:
=
The following items should be configured in local_conf.py:
Freevo General Config Items
- TV_CHANNELS
- MIXER_VOLUME_TV_IN
- MIXER_MAJOR_CTRL
- XINE_COMMAND
- XINE_ARGS_DEF
Plugin Specific Config Items
- XINE_TV_VO_DEV
- XINE_TV_AO_DEV
- XINE_TV_TIMESHIFT_FILEMASK
- XINE_TV_CONFIRM_STOP
- XINE_TV_PROGRESSIVE_SEEK
- XINE_TV_PROGRESSIVE_SEEK_THRESHOLD

Plugin Specific Events
=
The following additional events can be defined:
| # go back to the previous viewed channel
| EVENTS['tv']['SOME_LIRC_CMD'] = Event('POPCHANNEL')
|
| # show program info
| EVENTS['tv']['SOME_LIRC_CMD'] = Event('TOGGLE_OSD')
|
| # normal seek forward/backward by 1 second
| EVENTS['tv']['SOME_LIRC_CMD'] = Event(SEEK, arg=-1)
| EVENTS['tv']['SOME_LIRC_CMD'] = Event(SEEK, arg=+1)
=
Timeshift Filemask
=
The LIVE TV functionality requires a large buffer on disk
where the TV stream is being recorded while watching.
| # This specifies the path and filemask that xine uses for
| # timeshifting. File can get quite big (several gigabytes)
| XINE_TV_TIMESHIFT_FILEMASK = '/local/tmp/xine-buf-!/local/saved/!20'
Note: the format is 'a!b!c', where:
a = prefix (with path) for temporary file buffers
b = prefix (with path) for saved recordings
c = number of file buffers (200MB each) to use
The path for saved recordings must be on the same partition as
the path for temporary file buffers. If the save path is empty
then the saved files will be stored in the path for temporary
files.
=
STOP Confirmation
=
The STOP event will cancel the history of the TV stream. To
prevent that this happens by accident, a confirmation can be
requested.
| # Stop confirmation: press STOP twice to return to menu
| XINE_TV_CONFIRM_STOP = True
=
Progressive Seek
=
If progressive is enabled, then seeking in the TV stream
will speed up by 'increment' seconds every 'threshold'
seconds. Note, set the starting seek event to 1 second to
allow fine control.
| # This enables the progressive seek feature. The speed
| # for seeking (fast forward and rewind) is increased
| # automatically. The speed is increased every [THRESHOLD]
| # seconds in steps of [INCREMENT] secnds.
| XINE_TV_PROGRESSIVE_SEEK = True

[Freevo-users] recording an X session
Hi. Recently, I've seen somewhere a software to record an X session. I know about xvidcap, but it eats a lot of cpu. The software I saw used some layer of the X protocol, and it sounded to be quite good. I thought that I had seen it here, but I can't find it. But I've seen the video of freevo2, and I was wondering how it was made. Perhaps using the program I'm talking about? If not, how? Thanks Alberto - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[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

[Freevo-users] Recording Conficts
I have been using freevo for the last couple of days, trying things out. I really like the web interface, so far, as well as the fact that everything is in Python. Now to my question. I setup two programs to record, one at 9:00pm and the next at 9:30pm. The first one started great, then at 9:30pm the first one was stopped, and the next started recording, cutting off the first. What I was expecting to see happen was the second show would be set to a conflict state, and would look through the tv guide to find the next showing, and schedule that to record. Is there any way to set priority, and set conflict handling?

If you start the playback long after the recording started, mplayer will need to make an index (option -idx), so it will take some time to start. I think that I'll just look for another codec with good quality and good search capabilities. mpeg/mpeg2? Disk space is not that important.

[Freevo-users] recording tv playback
Hi. Some time ago, while talking about timeshifting, somebody said that what he did was start recording the show he wanted to watch. Then, instead of watching it with tv, he saw the recording, having timeshifting this way. I've tried it. In some cases, the playback ends as if it wasn't being recorded anymore. I mean, you start playback 10 seconds after you start recording, and you can see only 10 seconds. Start again, and you have only 20 seconds, and so on. Other times, it works, and I can see all the show, as it is being recorded. What is happening? Should it always work, or is there some trick I'm missing? Perhaps some buffer issue? Does anybody else do this? thx --- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.

Re: [Freevo-users] recording tv playback
Hi, I think I was the one who mentioned that trick. Yes, it works exactly the way you describe it. It seems that mplayer doesn't stream the file. Instead it measures the size upon startup and only plays till he reaches that position. I never fixed that issue, because my girlfriend and I perfectly came along with that behaviour. In most cases, recording has already finished when mplayer stops in the middle and we can start it a second time and seek to that position to watch the rest. Maybe you can fix it by passing the recording on stdin to mplayer: cat *.avi | mplayer - This way mplayer can't measure the size of the file and has to assume a stream.

Re: [Freevo-users] recording tv playback
I do false time-shifting like that. I do not compress the files on the fly though, it is a raw mpeg stream that I watch while it records. Mpeg is generally a lot more forgiving to incomplete files and headers than avi. I watch with mplayer and record with mencoder -dumpstream blah. Works fine with this methodology for me. 10 seconds of prestream may not be long enough though, as it will stop when it runs out of stream (one fast forward and the file will end). I tend to let it run for about 10 - 15 minutes at a minimum (not by choice.. I have kids) before I start watching. On most instances I end up watching the actual recording abut a month later. -Stygen On Fri, 2005-11-04 at 16:12 +0100, Alberto Hernando wrote: Hi.

[Freevo-users] Recording from satellite/cable box with SPDIF IN
I haven't set up a Freevo box yet, but I was considering the option of using my satellite box (although I assume it would be the same way with cable) through an analog capture card (probably s-video in) for the video, but I figured why do analog audio capture if I can do digital. Most boxes (including my dish network satellite box) have SPDIF out, so is it possible to record 5.1 (or just pure digital 2.0) audio through an SPDIF input on a sound card using Freevo. I figured someone out there has to have tried this. Thanks! --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

[Freevo-users] Recording TV - No sound
Hi John, However, when I try watching TV with mplayer I get a picture, but no sound. The no sound problem carries over to when I try to record with mencoder, which is activated in my Freevo configuration, and also streamer (part of the xawtv package). At this point I'm working outside of Freevo with mplayer and mencoder at the command line level trying various options, but have not hit upon anything that works yet. Not sure if this is your problem, but when I was debugging sound on my system using an mencoder command string, I kept leaving off the chanlist= option in the hope of keeping things simple ... after hours of trying, I finally figured out that when I added that option back in, sound worked again. [in my case it was chanlist=us-cable IIRC]. to figure out the mixer settings I also found it helpful to run Freevo in a window rather than fullscreen, run a graphical mixer in another window, and watch the settings on the mixer to see what freevo does when it starts up. It turned out Freevo was muting my mic, and aumix solved it as per other posts to this list. cheers, Mary --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

[Freevo-users] Recording TV - no sound
Hello all, I have been trying to setup Freevo to record TV shows, but I'm running into some problems. I've worked through most of my issues, but now my big stumbling block is that I cannot get any sound to record. My tv tuner card is a Leadtek Winfast TV2000 XP Expert, which uses the cx88 drivers. This particular version of the card has an on-board audio out connection that goes directly to my sound card. I can watch and hear TV just fine with tvtime (also used in my Freevo configuration) and xawtv. However, when I try watching TV with mplayer I get a picture, but no sound. The no sound problem carries over to when I try to record with mencoder, which is activated in my Freevo configuration, and also streamer (part of the xawtv package). At this point I'm working outside of Freevo with mplayer and mencoder at the command line level trying various options, but have not hit upon anything that works yet. I know this is not a Freevo specific issue, but I'm hoping that someone on the list has experienced similar problems and come up with a solution. Thanks in advance.

John You should check your mixer settings. I find aumix to be a great utility for this, as it is commandline, and works equally well for both oss and alsa. Check to see if the IGain of your card is turned up while recording. This control sets the input volume from the recording source (which you should also make sure is set to Line, or which ever input you use). While watching TV however, the soundcard internal loopback is used, which is controlled by the Line controller in aumix, hence if your line is turned up and your IGain is at 0 youd get sound while watching, but not while recording. Sollution is to set Line to 0 and IGain to 90 (100 tends to distort sound slightly, at least on my card) while recording and Line to 100 and IGain to 0 while watching TV. (not really sure if IGain has to be 0 here, but just in case..) you can use the VCR_PRE_CMD and VCR_POST_CMD in your local_conf.py to execute these mixersettings. best of luck :) - Jesper --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

[Freevo-users] Recording Bug/Feature Request other ideas
I've recently started using Freevo to watch record TV, and there's a few niggling issues, or missing features with Freevo that bug me. First up is the record padding. It would be REALLY nice if there was a separate pre- and post- record padding. Shows here have a tendency to start anywhere from on-time to minutes late, and can quite frequently run even later. Ergo, I need a minimal pre-padding (a minute or two), but a large post-padding (up to 15 mins). I've hacked my own Freevo to support Pre/Post padding, and it works quite well. Ideally, it'd be nice to set this per-channel, since some channels are pretty decent, while others vary wildly. Second up, a related issue, is record scheduling. I'd really like to have the option of editing the details of a record item. I've had times where the Guide has been a little inaccurate (and now once where the finish time for a show was out by an hour). Sure, I could manually add an item to record and stick in ALL the data, but it would be much easier to just go Schedule to Record, then Edit, and tweak those values which need it. Such a facility should be easy to implement in the Webserver (and I may have a go at it myself if no-one else wants to), but it'd be nice to have it in the normal interface as well. Next, which is sort of a mix of the two above - an easy way to tweak the padding of a recording/recorded show. So if you KNOW a particular show is famous for running overtime (chat-shows have a tendency to do it here), you can easily add/remove extra record time, say, in 2 minute chunks? (Gee - can you tell I've missed the last 5 minutes of way too many shows? ^_^) The next idea is also Recording, but a different slant - transcoding. I have a DVB card, which means I natively get good quality mpeg2 streams saved when I record. This takes up quite a bit of disk tho, so stuff I want to keep, I'd like to transcode into DivX. I have a little script I whipped up to do this for me, but it's a manual process. What would be great would be an option within Freevo to tag a recorded show for transcoding. Even better would be a few transcoding options, for different bit-rates (cooking shows (don't ask ^_^) don't need as much bitrate as movies), and different cropping options (some shows are 16:9, some are 4:3 - the signal/stream is always 16:9). This could probably be done as a Plugin. I might give it a go myself if I get time (Ha! Ahem...) I'd envisage a separate Transcode Daemon to take care of the transcoding, perhaps auto pause/resuming transcoding based on system load and/or other Freevo activity (ie; if Freevo not playing anything, and not recording, then Transcode!). There could also be options to auto-transcode if a show is old, and disk is low... Something that's been mentioned briefly in the past - the auto-icon support. Sometimes this works, and sometimes it really doesn't. I've had shows where the icon was of the show before (which still had recorded bits of) - and sometimes it shows an Ad. The former can be avoided by picking a frame nearer the middle of the show, rather than the start. The latter is a bit harder to fix. One solution would be to have an option to regenerate the icon which shows a selection of images (9? 12?), and you select which to keep as the icon. Oh, and while I'm at it - support for widescreen layout of Freevo menus would be appreciated. ^_^ Also, maybe some variants of the standard skins using smaller fonts? (And more TV Guide columns? Is that definable?) Lastly - a bug of sorts. I keep having issues watching DVB streams (ts/mpg) with Freevo. Sometimes it sucks all my CPU (not a very fast one), the Sync goes straight out the window, and sometimes I get black dots scattered around in the borders of hard-white output. I *think* it's rogue unneeded filters for mplayer kicking in, but I've yet to reliably disable them.

I have written one which will delete the the oldest avi in the tv_rec dir. This could easily be extended to listen to the recordign extention and then just send it to the record server for re-coding...

check the logs. Should be in /var/log/freevo/recordserver.log very likely your mencoder command is broken. BTW RTFMFFS. THis question gets asked repeatedly. Shortest path forward is to try the mencoder command found in the above log and if it don't work, fix it. Else, provide the relevent info fromthe log with your next query..

[Freevo-users] Recording through alsa
I updated the wiki with some info on recording through Alsa without OSS
emulation in the btaudio page .
You have two options: use snd-bt87x (which is the alsa equivalent of
btaudio) or use the line-in.
mencoder doesn't support btaudio (yet?) and the same problems arise with
snd-bt87x, but it should work with mp1e with the patch from the wiki.
Access the snd-bt87x mixer through alsamixer -c 1 or alsamixer -D bt87x
For analog loopback cable recording add option 'alsa' to -tv options
list, and take as adevice your soundcard (emu10k1 in my case)
adevice=/dev/adsp did NOT work for me (records only silence).
I have the following /etc/asound.conf:
pcm.emu10k1 {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.emu10k1 {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.bt87x {
type hw
card 1
}
ctl.bt87x {
type hw
card 1
}
Recording from line-in with the sound MUTED works, so I can use
mplayer/mencoder for timeshift recording (of course, seeking doesn't
work then).
Hope this is of any help for someone.

[Freevo-users] Recording to vfat broken due to invalid characters (:) in filename
I've seen this touched upon earlier but it looks like nobody found the cause. The reason why freevo cannot record to a fat32 (vfat) partition is that it uses illegal characters in the filename when creating a recorded TV show - the colon (:) character is not allowed on a FAT32 filesystem. At the moment I've written an external record command which amongst other things replaces the colon(s) with underscore(s), and this allows me to record to a vfat partition. Unfortunately, freevos database of recorded shows still refers to the original filename, and this has the inconvenient effect that all recorded shows are listed twice, once by name and description and once by filename, and of course only the latter actually works since the former filename is nonexistent. I haven't looked very hard at the relevant portions of freevo (my python skills are at pidgin level) but I have a nasty suspicion that the HH:MM:SS format may be there for a good reason and that changing it may break things, but for what its worth it would be great if someone would consider a workaround - I'm sure there are lots of people using shared partitions or filesystems mounted from windows hosts who may benefit from such a fix. If I were more familiar with the code I'd at least do an honest attempt at fixing it myself, and may still do so, but it may not happen soon... :) -- Ole --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

I took the command mencoder was trying to run and tried it on the cli. From there I was able to go and find other sites that showed the syntax they used. Once I was able to find one that worked from the cli I put those commands in my local_config.py file as my defaults for the VCR_CMD command. I shutdown freevo and restarted but it only took some of the new parameters and didn't add the tv:// in the command. I have no idea why, I had to reboot and when I did it all worked correctly. Thank you for your simple suggestion of trying it on the cli, that was the catalyst for me to figure it out. Thanks a lot Manuel! Jon --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

[Freevo-users] Recording issue with mencoder
Folks - I recently put Freevo on an Epia M1, Nehemiah core, 512MB RAM, 1GB swap, Hauppage WinTV card. I'm having an issue with the recording function. After a short period of time(less than three minutes), I start getting dropped audio frames and video buffer full errors. I've tried playing with some of the settings, and I've managed to get the time to full from 27 seconds to 170 seconds. Needless to say, I'm hoping to get up to 30-60 minutes. Other than freevo, the system is only running sshd, lircd, and syslog. Can anyone offer some assistance? Are there other M10K users out there who have a better working recorder script? -- #!/bin/bash CHAN=$1 TIME=$2 NAME=$3 WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=240 MENCODER=/usr/bin/mencoder AMIXER=/usr/bin/amixer NICE=nice -n -20 AUDIO=-oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=1:mode=3 -ffourcc divx #VIDEO=-ovc nuv -nuvopts q=3 VIDEO=-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:vbitrate=1200 DSP=adevice=/dev/sound/dsp1:buffersize=1024:audiorate=16000 TV= -tv driver=v4l:width=$WIDTH:height=$HEIGHT:input=0:device=/dev/v4l/video0:norm=NTSC:chanlist=us-cable:channel=$CHAN:$DSP $MENCODER -o mpeg tv:// $TV $VIDEO $AUDIO -endpos $TIME -o $NAME.mpg # Available formats: 444p 422p 411p yuy2 uyvy yvu9 if09 yv12 i420 iyuv clpl # hm12 y800 y8 nv12 nv21 bgr24 bgr32 bgr16 bgr15 bgr8 bgr4 bg4b bgr1 rgb24 rgb32 # rgb16 rgb15 rgb8 rgb4 rg4b rgb1 -- Thanks! ---Patrick M [EMAIL PROTECTED]:3784715-- You know, this is how the sum total of human knowledge is increased.

You may be able to allocate more buffers when you load the module for your card. I'm not sure which module your uses (bt878?) but run modinfo on it to see if that's possible. -Rob --- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.

There is a problem with nehemiah CPU's with model 9 that prevents ffmpeg
(libavcodec/mplayer) from detecting mmx properly...
root:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : CentaurHauls
cpu family : 6
model : 9
model name : VIA Nehemiah
stepping: 3
cpu MHz : 1000.058
If you have such a CPU, your lucky, there's a patch for it, if not I
can't help you.
In the source off mplayer in mplayer/libavcodec/i386/cputest.c
and/or in ffmpeg libavcodec/i386/cputest.c
Youll find the lines:
} else if (ebx == 0x746e6543
edx == 0x48727561
ecx == 0x736c7561) { /* CentaurHauls */
/* VIA C3 */
cpuid(0x8000, eax, ebx, ecx, edx);
if ((unsigned)eax 0x8001)
goto inteltest;
cpuid(0x8001, eax, ebx, ecx, edx);
edx = 0x1380b035; // - Add this for Nehemiah mmx -
rval = 0;
if( edx ( 1 31) )
rval |= MM_3DNOW;
if( edx ( 1 23) )
rval |= MM_MMX;
if( edx ( 1 24) )
rval |= MM_MMXEXT;
return rval;
I've got the same problem on my V1000, and it prevented me from trowing
it ut of the window... (or even worse, install M$ on it ;)

I start freevo (as a user), enter the tv guide menu, select a program, press f6, choose record, the program becomes green, and I wait. Nothing happens, no recording is made. I check the logs, there is only an entry in the 0 log (about mencoder) and nothing in the 502 logs. In my local_conf.py I have commented out evertthing to do with VCR_CMD, I checked even the freevo.conf. But nothing gives. Hope someone can help me. Thanks.

There is 1 entry for recordserver. I tried running is as user because it

great thanks for that again)
You're right about the plugin (and I don't use it) to be sure I didn't use
the generic one I looked in my local_conf.py but the 2 lines at the top
(plugin.remove('tv.generic_record')
plugin_record = plugin.activate('tv.ivtv_record') )
are uncommented and under tv-plugins I have the ivtv basic uncommented.
I thaught and you confirm it that ivtv doesn't use mencoder so somewhere the
record function gets the wrong command. I have my local_conf.py places in
/.freevo and I have gone through the whole thing at least 3 times but I
can't find anything.

Make sure you do:
plugin.remove('tv.generic_record')
first, and also make sure you didn't modify freev_config.py (just making
sure).

Thanks, I checked and found several copies, I removed them all but nothing
gives. Because Rob talked about running the recordserver only as roor and I
had some difficulty in getting the thing op and running I uninstalled freevo
completely, removed all folders and files and did a clean install. That gave
me the following error when I tried ro record:
