Re: [Freevo-users] livepause
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.

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.

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 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.

Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash
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 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.

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.

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.

Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash
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 plugin name 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 On Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 8:34 AM, Adam Charrett a...@dvbstreamer.org wrote: On Mon, 2009-06-15 at 08:16 +1200, Bernard Mentink wrote: Hi Adam, Thanks for the reply.

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. 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.. 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. Generally a window manager is not required for Freevo. The exception is when you want to run external commands from the Freevo command menu. I'm personally using compiz(overkill if you ask me) to manage the screen. Not sure of another that works correctly though. :( 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? 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.

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 ...

2009/6/12 Bernard Mentink bment...@gmail.com: 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. 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
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?

Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash
2009/6/12 Bernard Mentink bment...@gmail.com: So you mean I can't play anything full screen and have OSD as well? Hmmm .. 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. :( I had a look through local_conf.py for -fs options and there are none.

Re: [Freevo-users] Livepause crash
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 ..

On Sun, February 22, 2009 8:11 pm, Chris Fearing wrote: I am setting up a Freevo system (on top of ubuntu) with an HDHomerun tuner and was wondering if anyone had an example local_conf.py, channels.conf combination and any other example files necessary for this setup. The documentation is a bit disjointed for this setup and it would be useful to see how/where to set channel names/numbers/frequencies and any other important variables and which files they need set in. Thanks, Chris 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='homerunid:tuner', group_type='hdhomerun', desc='Watching Video Group')] where homerunid 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 = [('xmltv id','display name','channel.program'), ... ] Where xmltv id is the id in the xmltv file you've grabbed, display name will be displayed by freevo in the guide and channel.program 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.

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: fbxine.
