[Freevo-users] Freevo eating a lot of CPU cycles

2003-10-23 Thread Alex Polite
Hello.

Since my tv broke I use my freevo solely for playing audio. Whenever
I run top I notice that freevo is very CPU hungry. After two days of
uptime freevo has consumed 230 minutes of CPU time. X, by way of
comparison, has only consumed 3 minutes. Is there anything I can do to
lower the load that freevo puts on my CPU?

[Freevo-users] CVS bugs

2003-10-23 Thread Per Homer
Can somebody help me with the following two bugs in CVS? I am a running a 
fresh version of Mandrake 9.1. Python 2.2 is installed.

(1) line 92 of main.py causes crash:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "../src/main.py", line 92, in ?
   from xml.utils import qp_xml
ImportError: No module named utils
I can comment out line 92, but then I get the following.

(2) 2nd error:

raceback (most recent call last):
 File "../src/main.py", line 95, in ?
   import config
 File "../src/config.py", line 418, in ?
   execfile(os.environ['FREEVO_CONFIG'], globals(), locals())
 File "../freevo_config.py", line 100, in ?

 File "../src/plugin.py", line 63, in ?
   from event import Event
 File "../src/event.py", line 450, in ?
   from pygame.locals import *

I don't want games right now. Any suggestions?

Yeah, i've seen this discussed before, however I can't remember how.. 
You need to do it in you mplayer command line.. put the ac3 out first
then ',' then the stereo out.

[Freevo-users] How do I play .m3u webradio links?

2003-10-23 Thread Tom
>From a terminal window I can enter the following:
mplayer -cache 100 -playlist "http://www.ktxt.net/live_high.m3u

and I hear the live audio stream from Texas Tech University.

I've added the following to my gxine-medialinks file:

  KTXT Texas Tech
  http://www.ktxt.net/live_high.m3u"/>
  


And I've added this to the MPLAYER_ARGS line in local_conf.py:
'm3u': ' -playlist',
'.m3u': ' -playlist',

When I select the KTXT link in Freevo, nothing is played - it goes to
the timer screen for a second or two, then comes back to the list page. 
The player line in my terminal window shows mplayer to be called like
so:
/usr/bin/mplayer -slave -ac mad, -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100
-screenw 1024 -screenh 768 -zoom -vo null -ao oss:/dev/dsp 
"http://www.ktxt.net/live_high.m3u"; -cache 100, poll=-1

I don't know what else to do...

Re: [Freevo-users] How do I play .m3u webradio links?

2003-10-23 Thread Tom
I kludged my local_conf.py to get it to work:
MPLAYER_AO_DEV = 'oss:/dev/dsp -playlist '

But surely there is a better way?

RE: [Freevo-users] All of a sudden, 1.4rc1 is *S*L*O*W....

2003-10-23 Thread Gray, Tim
all I know is that it tries over and over and over and over if it misses one
update. that needs to be removed or changed. If it didn't get the last
update it needs to bail and wait for the next scheduled update.

and it is checking more than 3600 seconds, if I unplug the network cable to
my freevo it takes less than 1 minute for the weather plugin to cause
trouble. I might be lucky and unplugging at times that happen to be at the
end of the window though.

anyways, it needs to fail gracefully. try once and only once, and not try
again for at least 5 minutes. Or at least have a 1 minute delay between
tries.

Plugins shouldn't crash Freevo as of 1.4rc2; they're sandboxed so if
they crash it won't kill Freevo.

That doesn't sound right; it shouldn't check more than once every 3600
seconds. It would only check more than that if the weather cache file
wasn't being written, which might be the case.

[Freevo-users] Shortcuts between main menu groups

2003-10-23 Thread Robert Rozman
Hello,

I'm newbie and would like to ask whether is possible to move from for
instance Video menu tree directly to some other main menu group and then
come back. Sometimes one sets music to play and would then like to go to
other menus and return to set another music. Going through all those menu
trees takes some time. I've seen GUIs that have shortcut bar on one side,
where user can promptly switch to last place in some other menu group...

Is this possible to do with Freevo, and where to start ?

Thanks in advance,

Robert Rozman.

[Freevo-users] Prevent hiding mouse under Freevo/pygame

2003-10-23 Thread Robert Rozman
Hello,

I have dual head setup and would like to prevent Freevo from hiding mouse (I
use it on second screen). In fact I'd like Freevo only to take lirc input
instead of keyboard. How can this be achieved ?

Thanks,

regards,

Robert.

Freevo has many dependencies, and if you're not using the runtime which 
includes most of them you'll get these errors. Check out the website on 
how to use the runtime with CVS.

Same thing.

It'll wait for the next scheduled check (3600s) before trying to hit
it again.
