RE: [Freevo-users] Freevo + mp1e
you DO want v4lctl installed on your freevo box.
That way you can adjust color, bright and contrast to get better recordings.
(and to reduce file size! I found by bringing up bright by 10% reduced my
file sizes by simply washing out some of the minor details in bright areas.
Overall I had a more pleasant to watch divx.)
Although I am swtiching over to mp1e and mpeg files now to take advantage of
using hardware playback in video chipsets and the dxr3 on lower end
hardware.

Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo + mp1e
Hi Aubin,
Actually, I installed xawtv-control, and I think I can
control channel changing using 'v4lctl' to do the
channel changing. Here is my VCR_CMD now:
--- VCR_CMD ---
VCR_CMD = ('/usr/bin/v4lctl setnorm NTSC; ' +
'/usr/bin/v4lctl setchannel %(channel)s; '
+
'/usr/local/freevo/runtime/apps/mp1e ' +
'-v ' +
'-m3 ' +
'-p/dev/dsp1 ' +
'-r14,100 ' +
'-S32 ' +
'-a0 ' +
'-c/dev/video0 ' +
'-s640x480 ' +
'-b3 ' +
'-n%(timecode)s ' +
'-o %(filename)s.mpg')
--- VCR_CMD ---
However, the traceback looks the same:
--- TRACEBACK ---
2003/10/11 09:00 PDT [*RecordServer*] Traceback (most

However, I think the problem may be a little more than
that, since if I use the above mp1e commands on the
command line, nothing gets recorded; it just sort of
sits there, so I will see if I can get that working
first, but in the meantime, any ideas on what the
traceback is showing would be appreciated.

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo + mp1e
No, the schedulerec thing was just my hack because I did manual
recordings so often.
Basically, it was this:
echo q | mplayer -vo null -ao null tv://$1
With the rest of the mplayer TV options in there somewhere.
It changes the channel and then quits.

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo + mp1e
I'm not sure to be honest, because I haven't used it in awhile (I
bought an ivtv card) and I almost am not sure if python allows you to
chain commands together in the VCR_CMD using ';' between commands.
