IIRC freevo uses mtime, if freevo used ctime then the timestamps would not
change after an edit, asuming that the editor does not create a new file.
atime can be disabled, as a performace trick, in the /etc/fstab with the
noatime option.

A neat way round this is to use touch with the reference option. eg:
touch -m -r /path/to/fxdfile tmpfile
which will create a tmpfile with the same timestamp as the fxdfile
then after editing the fxdfile you can set the timestamp back with:
touch -m -r tmpfile /path/to/fxdfile
Check the options with the touch man page, as this is from memory.

DIRECTORY_SMART_SORT just remove the "the" and "a" from the name before
sorting, so will not help much in this case.

As soon as you have changed the time stamp and not kept a reference file
then it is impossible to get it back as you have lost information (ms)

Hmm, AFAIK the eject command is bound to the first player, I think that
 this is quite reasonable behaviour. But it would be nice to use the
selected player when your on a drive. But I think that this may be a bit
tricky.

Really what you need is an eject button for each player so you can
specify which player should be ejected or loaded.

It is a bug :( numbers are being removed from the search list too.

BTW the imdb guess option is what freevo uses for a search.

Have you a plugin.activate('idlebar.system') in you local_conf.py? If so
comment it out. Could be called idlebar.system.procstats.

If not add these lines to local_conf.py
plugin.remove('idlebar.tv', level=20)
plugin.remove('idlebar.cdstatus', level=25)
plugin.remove('idlebar.diskfree', level=30)
plugin.remove('idlebar.clock', level=50)
plugin.remove('idlebar')


They disable the idlebar.

A quick kook at the code and my guess is that the problem is with the
default settings for IMDB_REMOVE_FROM_NAME which may need changing from
the default. Which will strip leading numbers from the name and in this
case leave you with an empty string.

You can set these in local_conf.py:

# list of regexp to be ignored on a disc label
IMDB_REMOVE_FROM_LABEL = ('season[\._ -][0-9]+', 'disc[\._ -][0-9]+',

'd[\._ -][0-9]+', 'german')

# list of regexp to be ignored on a filename
IMDB_REMOVE_FROM_NAME = ['^[0-9_]+']

# list of words to ignore when searching based on a filename
IMDB_REMOVE_FROM_SEARCHSTRING = ('the', 'a')

The idea is to strip the date from TV_RECORDFILE_MASK by default it is:
'%%m-%%d %%H.%%M %(progname)s - %(title)s' but the default
IMDB_REMOVE_FROM_NAME looks a bit wrong for the mask.

You can change it in you local_conf.py to:
IMDB_REMOVE_FROM_NAME = ['']

Not sure if this helps but hasattr(self.item.media, 'id') may be only
true when the item is a cd drive.

[Freevo-users] [ANNOUNCE] Freevo-1.7.3 Release

[Duncan Webb]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
 
Hello all,

Today, Swiss National Day, freevo-1.7.3 has been released and as usual
there are a lot of additions, changes and fixes in this release.

First, a big thank you to you for using Freevo! A good choice, if I
may say so,  :-)  and without your support there would be no Freevo.

A special thanks to all that have contributed since the release of
1.7.2 by sending in translations, patches for new features and bug
fixes, testing, reporting problems, updating the wiki pages and for
helping others with problems on the lists. All of this helps keep
Freevo alive and well.

A particular thank to:
Adam Charrett for his great recordings manager a button bar plug-ins
Wout Clymans for his audio scrobbler plug-in
Pierre Ossman for updating the Apple trailers plug-in
Ringj Cn for the new Chinese translation
Lefteris F. Sarakinos for the new Greek translation
Pascal Schirrmann for the French translation updates
Gorka Olaizola for the Spanish translation updates
Valera Koval for the work on mplayer field dominance and interlacing
and there are many more names see the change log for a full list and,
if I've forgotten you, your efforts are greatly appreciated.

As well as those items listed above there are other changes that are
worthy mentioning, you can now link you personal web pages to the
Freevo web pages, you can start freevo in the full-screen mode and
pass settings to the x-server and you can have pops and clicks as you
move about the menu. The logging is now done with the Python logger
which gives accurate timestamps. The child process are now run with
Python's subprocess module.

If you haven't contributed anything, no problem, using Freevo is what
it is all about. Please do feel free to help out by adding and
updating wiki pages, the wiki is very important for exchanging
information. There are also translations to be written and maintained.
And if you have a bit of programming inclination your very welcome to
provide patches and fixes, I don't bite... much :)

The complete change log is here:
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/ChangeLog

The release is now ready for downloading from the SourceForge page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=46652
Fianlly a big thanks to SourceForge for their services.

Hmm, were you using the event driver before?

I always use lircd as it is easy to check what is happening.

I'm sure it is working from the main-0.log (root) I get:

In local_conf.py have you changed MPLAYER_ARGS?

I should have a default, such as:
'default': '-cache 5000'

or an entry for mkv which will give setting for matroska files.

IMHO using /tmp as a fall back is a poor choice for static data, better is
to use ~/.freevo. Alternatively, create a /var/cache/freevo owned by the
user that runs freevo.

There are certain files that should not really be in /tmp or in
/etc/freevo/cache, logos, TV.xml and scheduled recordings (as this
contains the favourites) as examples and deleting the contents of /tmp or
/var/cache/freevo would cause the loss of important information.

What I do is create a /var/lib/freevo and point these variables there.

I suspect additional hacking is in order as, AFAIK, there is no
implementation of a running a command through a pipe. You need two
subprocess calls for this or running the command in a shell.

You need to simply uncomment the original MPLAYER_ARGS and may be add
an entry for mkv like:
MPLAYER_ARGS = { 'dvd': '-cache 8192',
 'vcd': '-cache 4096',
 'cd' : '-cache 1024 -cdda speed=2',
 'tv' : '-nocache',
 'ivtv'   : '-cache 8192',
 'dvb': '-cache 1024',
 'avi': '-cache 5000 -idx',
 'rm' : '-cache 5000 -forceidx',
 'rmvb'   : '-cache 5000 -forceidx',
 'webcam' : 'tv:// -tv
driver=v4l:width=352:height=288:outfmt=yuy2:device=/dev/video2',
 'mkv': '-cache 5000 -slang fr,en -idx cache-min=50
cache-prefill=50'
     'default': '-cache 5000'
 }

It is the file extension that is used to select the entry.

The point is:

1 )  if you are running freevo as a non root user then you need to
change the permissions on files and devices or add the user to a video
and maybe an audio group.

2) If there is a cron job that cleans up /tmp such as "find /tmp -type
f -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \;" then you will lose your logos in a week.

Anyway I see your point. So...

I've just committed a change that will, hopefully, only use /tmp as a
last resort for the files. I can't test this 100% because I'm using
directfb and it only runs as root but it looks good up to the point of
starting freevo. The changes are not quite complete as some of the
setting are not yet changed and I've left in some test messages.

If you fancy testing this it would be good.

I've complete the changes for this, (left in the print of the
directories). This is what I wrote in the freevo_config.py change log.

(5.21,
'''Added OS_STATICDIR, FREEVO_STATICDIR, OS_LOGDIR and FREEVO_LOGDIR
Change static data to use /var/lib/freevo or ~/.freevo, including
TV_RECORD_SCHEDULE, TV_LOGOS, XMLTV_FILE, you may also prefer
OVERLAY_DIR to be FREEVO_STATICDIR+'/overlay'
'''),

But may need some explanation.

All the variables are first read from the environment and then the
defaults for Linux are:
FREEVO_CACHEDIR: /var/cache/freevo ~/.freevo/cache /tmp/freevo/cache
FREEVO_STATICDIR: /var/lib/freevo ~/.freevo/static /tmp/freevo/static
FREEVO_LOGDIR: /var/log/freevo ~/.freevo/log /tmp/freevo/log
It will also try /tmp/freevo-

vou may want to copy/move your TV_RECORD_SCHEDULE, TV_LOGOS, XMLTV_FILE
to the static directory *before* starting any freevo processes.

TV_RECORD_SCHEDULE contains the recording schedule *and* your recording
favourites.
TV_LOGOS and XMLTV_FILE, well these are clear.

OVERLAY_DIR contains TV recording thumbnails, plus other stuff, and
doesn't really belong in the cache directory because they are a pain to
re-create. The default has *not* changed.

All the directories are created on start-up. You may like to do a create
the '/var' directories beforehand if not running as root and changed the
ownership to your freevo user.

This should be interesting...

Did you run freevo cache, not that I think that this is a problem.

Can you check the contents of the fxd files that have been generated?

Hi John,

My hadware is documented here
http://www.linuxowl.com/hardware.html and here
http://www.linuxowl.com/ffs.html

The case has changed to:
OrigenAE X10, high-end Alu HTPC, Silver
Not one I would recommend as it's a pig to assemble and not really well
thought out for cable routing,

The irtrans ir receiver is nice though but the display is rather too
small to read from a distance.

TV card has changed from PVR-350 to PVR-500.

Try changing the & on line 17 to &

I thought that the xml special characters are filtered out, which

Sorry, that was my mistake I forgot to update the number.

The file is the latest version, see

you want to get started quickly.

Do you have sqlite installed?

If so then maybe the owner is root and your running from a user with the
incorrect permissions. The database is in /freevo.sqlite,
where cachedir is /tmp/freevo or /var/cache/freevo

If not then it need to be installled, see:
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/SourceDependencies

xine or mplayer?

With mplayer you can map an event to the sub_pos or set it in the
MPLAYER_DEFAULT_ARGS, here is how it can be done with the channel up and
down keys.

EVENTS['video']['CH+'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg = 'sub_pos -1')
EVENTS['video']['CH-'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg = 'sub_pos +1')

Don't know about xine, but may be it is in the manual

I haven't tried this myself so it was time to give it a try. I've
updated the wiki page with an example.

Most of this information comes from the v4l2-ctl command, depends a bit
on the version on the ivtv driver that you are using.

v4l2-ctl --all will give you this information.


The VIDEO_GROUPS is a list of video devices, hence the "[]"
Each VideoGroup represents a device and some of the information in each
group is not used, a bit of history.

Here is a quick explanation for a single video device.
VIDEO_GROUPS = [
VideoGroup(vdev='/dev/video0',# This is the video device
vvbi = '/dev/vbi0',   # This is it's vbi device
adev='/dev/adsp', # Not normally used, can be None
input_type='tuner',   # tuner, composite, etc
input_num=0,  # input number normally zero
tuner_norm=CONF.tv,   # PAL, NTSC, etc
tuner_chanlist=CONF.chanlist, # Channel list name
desc='PVR-150 Video Group',   # Just a name for this device
group_type='ivtv',# Important for ivtv
),
]

Once this is set up correctly for you system then it should work.

This is not 100% correct, the record_group is a number which is used for
watching and recording at the same time, but you need two tuners for this.
The rule is one VideoGroup per tuner.

The first group does look fine.

The first thing to do is check that all the XINE_TV_* settings are correct.

Try adding DEBUG=1 and CHILDAPP_DEBUG and LOGGING = logging.DEBUG to your
local_conf.py and check the log to see what freevo is trying to run when
using xine. It should be clear what the command line is and then you can
hopefully find the correct arguments and so the settings.

You could turn on debugging in the local_conf.py and see what events are
being send from the keyboard. There isn't another X server running at
the same time, is there?

As this question comes up quite a bit on the list, I have just added a
wiki page http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/MultiUser which need
some more detailed instructions.

The cache is shared and so need shared permissions. To set up freevo as
a multi-user system you will need to do a bit of Linux system
administration. To set the users and permissions correctly. After all it
is Linux that is stopping the access of the files and not Freevo.

Sure that you have the correct serial port. Normally it is possible to
cat /dev/ttyS0 | od -c and then you should see something on the console
as you press buttons. Could be a serial port speed/handshake setting.

There are some setting in local_conf.py for the joystick mainly the
device and the count that switches the state to an event.

Did you install the pyalsa package from

I don't see how pylirc would have stopped the crashes when you are using
the event interface and was a bit surprised that this reduced the
occurrence of a crash.

Rather than use the event interface, why don't you use the lirc
interface, it is much better tested. You need to use the dev/input
driver for lircd.

I don't really see how to reproduce this error from the crash report. It
may be that the event interface is sending too many events too quickly
and the code does not have enough critical sections to prevent reentry.

There is a similar problem with the screensaver, which I may have fixed.

It's not a problem, just that the sub-process has already died but
freevo thinks it is still running and it trying to kill it. This only
seems to happen after a crash.

Sorry this is not that helpful but I'll see it I can set up the event

You need to do two things, write a slide show fxd file, like:



  
/freevo/images/1/DSC01140.jpg


  /freevo/images



  A screensaver slide show

  


Note I've disabled sound as it will crash freevo.
And then activate the plug-in like:

plugin.activate('freevoscreensaver', \
args=('fxd','/var/lib/freevo/saver.fxd','image',))

IIRC you can hide it with a . i.e.: .hidden_images
or move the directory somewhere else.

It is a list of tuples that contain regular expressions. The [] mean
that the variable is a list and the () mean that each item in the list
is a tuple (a sort of fixed string).

IMAGE_EXCLUDE = [('tn'), ('regexp'), ('DSC.*[0-9]')]

Works a treat but I suspect that British broadcasters do not transmit

The program that grabs the data is nexTView EPG

Not a big games player but I do have a couple of roms and it doesn't
crash when entering a mame menu, Have you run out of disk space in /tmp
or is the /tmp/roms not readable?

Does NTSC have teletext, I thought that it has a completely different
system, closed-captions or something like that? I would be interest to know.

Data that can be sent in the vertical blanking interval (vbi) can be in
any format, teletext can contain data streams that can contain anything,
for example MTV has an encrypted data stream in their teletext data.

I'm not really sure exactly what the problem is but I think that
/tmp/roms is hard-coded into freevo so if you have moved it I would
expect a crash.

The contents of /tmp/roms is created by xmame with xmame.xll -listxml
-out /tmp/roms.

Actually nothing has changed in the xmame code for a very long time.

This doesn't help solve your problem much but try executing:
/path/to/your/script -listxml -out /tmp/roms
and see if /tmp/roms is created correctly.

There is also http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/ and I think that

Hi Lucian,

Can you provide an example, as it "works for me" with or without spaces
in the file names. But I tend to use mplayer for audio playing. Maybe
you should include the relevant sections of your local_conf.py and
freevo.conf

It could be a problem with the xine audio player plug-in, so I need to
test it running it the same way as you do.

You just install another version over the last one.

If you have any problems find the site-packages/freevo directory and
remove it.

The only file that needs backing up is local_conf.py.

I was having a problem reproducing the problem added a print to see what
was being called:
command=['/usr/bin/fbxine', '-V', 'none', '-A', 'alsa', '--stdctl',
'--no-lirc', 'file:///freevo/music/The Stranglers/Greatest Hits
1977-1990/15 - No Mercy.flac'] ()

So I'm glad is has gone.

Mind, I'm a bit puzzled by -trace not working as this is a Python option
rather than a freevo one.

I hadn't committed it to svn as it's not working 100%, so just for you
it is now in svn so you can download it from the repository.

Here are instructions on how to install it from svn:

I'm not sure that this is working but it should work with the
ROM_DRIVES, eg:
ROM_DRIVES = [
  ('/mnt/dvd', '/dev/hdc', 'DVD'),
  ('/mnt/dvdram', '/dev/hdd', 'DVD-RAM')
]

May be some can confirm if this is working or not.

In local_conf.py make sure that these are set:
DEBUG = 1
CHILDAPP_DEBUG = 1
LOGGING = logging.DEBUG
then the output should be logged in main-0.log.

I don't know what the correct fbxine argument for audio pass-through is
may be someone can enlighten me :) so I can check.

A Unicode translation problem, how have you set up your channels in
local_conf.py?

This works for me:
TV_CHANNELS = [
('CNI04C1', u'SF1',  'K05', '', '0', '777'),
('CNI04C7', u'SFzwei',   'K10', '', '0', '777'),
('CNI04CC', u'SFinfo',   'K35', '', '0', '777'),
('CNI0497', u'3plus','S15', '', '0', '777'),
('CNI0DC1', u'ARD',  'K09', '', '0', '777'),
('CNI0DC2', u'ZDF',  'K11', '', '0', '777'),
('CNI0DC7', u'3sat', 'S10', '', '0', '777'),
('CNI0D85', u'arte', 'K21', '', '0', '777'),
('CNI0DC9', u'KiKa', 'K21', '', '0', '777'),
('CNI0DCB', u'Bayern 3', 'K29', '', '0', '150'),
('CNI0DE0', u'Südwest Fernsehen BW', 'S14', '', '0', '777'),
('CNI1DE6', u'WDR',  'S31', '', '0', '150'),
('CNI0D8D', u'DSF',  'K24', '', '0', '777'),
...
]

The last two columns you won't need. But the important thing is the
unicode 'u' before the name.

Make sure that you install Twisted-2.4 (Twisted-2.5 is the default with

version 2 is a hack of the original, I was seeing if it was possible to
have other codes. I found one useful one and that was dimming the display.

Use the plug-in vfd to drive the display from freevo.

Thanks, I had to something similar at one time with my AMD64 machine
MPLAYER_AO_DEV = 'alsa:device=hw=0.0'
but in later drivers I found a hidden, in the GUI setting, IIRC it was
IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA which need to be changed.

The driver is ivtv and is in the kernel since 2.6.22, it works well.

Freevo-1 can't record two programmes simultaneously yet but you can
watch a channel and record at the same time.

What the real name of these files, does an ls /cdrom report the correct
files names?

Just for fun I installed the cdfs kernel driver then normal CDs are
treated as files.

Is you vendor/product 0x051c, 0x0005?

If not I'll need to update the list in vfd.py
self.usbIDs = [ (0x1308, 0x0003), (0x051c, 0x0005), (0x1308, 0xc001), ]

Are you sure that the HVR-1300 is supported by the ivtv driver?

First, can you try with just one VideoGroup as only one per tuner/vdev
is supported and change record_group=None.

IIRC it is possible to record from the tuner and composite inputs but
I'm not sure how this has been done. Possible with the VCR_PRE and POST
commands and calling the ivtv control tool (v4l2-ctl)

How did you install twisted-2.4.0 from a package or the source?

If you did this from a package then my guess is that the package is not
complete as internet app is a class in Twisted.

IIRC, Adam has done this with Freevo-1, but the code is not yet in the

If you can convert the signals to YUV, it should be possible to use the
PVR-350 as a real-time encoder.

It the kernel log you should see something like:
ivtv0: Registered device video0 for encoder MPEG (4 MB)
ivtv0: Registered device video32 for encoder YUV (2 MB)
ivtv0: Registered device vbi0 for encoder VBI (1 MB)
ivtv0: Registered device video24 for encoder PCM audio (1 MB)
ivtv0: Registered device radio0 for encoder radio
ivtv0: Registered device video16 for decoder MPEG (1 MB)
ivtv0: Registered device vbi8 for decoder VBI (1 MB)
ivtv0: Registered device vbi16 for decoder VOUT
ivtv0: Registered device video48 for decoder YUV (1 MB)


This means that you can push a YUV stream to /dev/video48 and read an
mpeg stream from /dev/video0.

The names are a bit misleading, decoder devices are where write streams
and encoder devices are where you read them.

r = fcntl.ioctl(self.device, i32(SET_FMT_NO), val)
is equivalent to:
v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video
and you should also check
v4l2-ctl --get-fmt-video

VIDIOC_S_FMT and VIDIOC_G_FMT are basic video4linux commands and should
work for all cards.

If you have connected this to a TV you will need to use 720x576 as the
pixels are not square on a TV (4:3 aspect has 1.06667:1) 720x1.0667 = 768.

Try this:
v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=720,height=576

Then you may need to set your geometry to 320x240.

Colorspace seems a bit odd too.

If tvtime is working then I guess it is not setting the format as it
clearly isn't working.

I would try different formats,
# v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=640,height=480
works for me as well
and then set freevo's geometry to the best setting.

look at the tv/v4l2.py at the end are some test cases which you can run
with freevo execute /path/to/tv/v4l2.py. May be you can hack this file
enough to get this card working.

The programme information should be provided by the broadcasters for
free, as it already is, why they don't provide rss feeds or soap
interfaces is the real problem. Broadcasters do spend quite a bit of
money on their web sites and they only earn money from you watching
their programmes. It is in their interest to provide the information is
the form that their viewers want.

Strange, the AUDIO_LOG event is only to update the statistics in the
sqlite data base. Wonder why this should cause the menu to be skipped.

I wrote a quick start guide for first time users that may help,

It may need some updating as it is possible that I missed something

With the svn version you will need to add:
LOGGING = logging.DEBUG
Using CHILDAPP_DEBUG = 9 does no more that CHILDAPP_DEBUG=1
Generally logging levels > 1 provide too much information that you will
not be able to see the wood for the trees :)

Sensible debug settings are:
#
# Debugging and logging settings
#
# logging can be one of:
# CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG or NOTSET
#
LOGGING = logging.DEBUG
RECORDSERVER_LOGGING = logging.DEBUG
DEBUG = 1
# messages go to stdout
# DEBUG_STDOUT = 0
# messages from starting a child application
CHILDAPP_DEBUG = 1
# timing messages
# TIME_DEBUG = 0

AFAIK you can't have a single directory for imdb fxd files they are
either created in the directory of the file or for a disc then they go
into the cache directory.

Are you sure that the mask is correct, should really post what you have
as this is the most likely reason. Another reason is a permissions
problem with the directory.

freevo -fs is the best solution to run freevo in a full screen mode.

There must be a way in gdm to allow this. I would expect something like
"xhost +" to allow you to connect.

Are you using a nvidia driver? If so you should try re-installing it.

Or you can try re-installing gdm.

Can you post what is relevant in the log, either main or recordserver as
it's difficult to identify what the problem is with the information so
far.

Thanks

This sounds reasonable from your earlier log report, as freevo was trying
to kill mplayer which was already dead. Something I need to fix in the
childapp module.

Did you ever check the mplayer stdout and stderr logs?

pyo are python compiled objects and

You can copy the pyc or pyo or both to the directory.

Actually I don't build pyo files as they save very little.

You need the files from the latest subversion revision from:
svn export
svn://svn.freevo.org/freevo/branches/rel-1/freevo/contrib/video/plugins/appletrailers

Then you need to copy these files and remove the pyc and pyo files.

As your box going to be a dedicated freevo box, then why run gdm or xdm
at all just boot straight into freevo.

There is some information on the wiki about booting into freevo.
Generally it means writing an init script and removing gdm from the init
scripts.

Actually what I do is use init level 4 (level 3 is a console boot and
level 5 is a X boot). Then I only run the services that are needed by
freevo. Then add a 4 at the end of the boot line in either lilo or grub
configuration. This way yo have the best of all world booting to gdm or
freevo when you want to.

Looks like setup.py is copying some files that it should not be

Check /usr/lib/python2.*/site-packages/freevo/www/htdocs, it should not
exist and then remove it and restart the webserver.

Did you delete the build directory from the freevo install directory as it
will be copied again when you do a setup.py install.

It is definitely a problem with downloadurl.py being in the wrong
directory as I was getting exactly the same error.

This may depend a bit on how and what the nvidia card it is connected
to. If it is connected to a TV then try 720x576 as 768/720 = 1.0333.
which is the width of a PAL TV pixel. IIRC NTSC has a slightly different
ratio (see http://www.strata.com/support/3dmanual/ch13/ch13_7.html)

Who owns /root/tmp/kaa-77, root?
Just do a:
chown 77:77 /root/tmp/kaa-77
then it should work.

More helpful with the full log, it looks that kaa is doing something
incorrectly.

'/root/tmp/kaa-77' should be '/tmp/kaa-77'

So I'm not surprised that this fails as the user 77 does not have
permission to create directories in root's home directory.

Other options are:
'channel', 'frequency', 'frequencyMHz', 'filename', 'base_filename',
'title', 'sub-title', 'seconds', 'start',

Python is case sensitive.

Good to hear this, wouldn't have guessed that you are using an external
tuner.

I think that you will need to use the copy stream commands of mencoder,
rather than trying to re-encode the video and audio. You should first
try using mencoder or mplayer from the command line to get the arguments
correct.

Another choice may be to use a DVB plug-in, see the wiki for details,
and treat the cards a a DVB device.

Don't know, as I can't get HDTV that is not encrypted but it looks like
an interesting product.

I guess that you could treat them as external DVB devices in Freevo then
it is just a bit of tweaking of the commands.

You may need to program something to send the correct commands to the
devices to tune them to a channel, start recording, etc.

BTW Python is fun.

Yes, these work well.

This could be difficult in the short term with Freevo-1, it's next on my
todo list. AFAIK Freevo-2 has simultaneous recording support.

> 4. Is there anything else I should be aware of?

Not that I can think of. There are some people that have been with
Freevo and then to MythTV and back again. They would be the best to ask.
If you don't get a response try asking on the devel list.

One solution is to turn off debugging as this is being caused by a bug
in a debug statement, :).

This is only a temp solution, can you raise a bug report of the tracker?

DVB-C should be supported under Linux, a quick google may help. I can't

Both freevo-1 and freevo-2 support different types of TV cards, you can
quite happily use both in the same machine with out any problems.

How have you installed them? Using python setup.py install?
If so then they are in the build directory which you can safely delete.

If you copied the files by hand then there will be a .pyc file too and
these need to be deleted.

Should be easy enough to clean up your mess! Find the files and remove
the appletrailer files.

find /usr/lib/python2.*/freevo /usr/share/pycentral/python-freevo/ \
 -name "appletr*" | xargs rm -v

Run the command without the | xargs rm -v first just to check what will
be deleted.

Then copy the files by hand to the correct location.

BTW freevo does not touch your local_conf.py.

Not really strange freevo behaviour, it is just that the fonts your
using don't have all the possible glyphs that you need.

This leaves two, or may more, possibilities:

Buy a Unicode font

Merge two or more fonts into one font.

I suppose that you could also create you own font.

What is your VCR_CMD in local_conf.py?

Every time freevo is started. Don't forget that the recording server
needs a restart after changing you local_conf.py too.
freevo recordserver stop
freevo recordserver start

I used to forget this.

You need to install Twisted-2.4.0 and remove Twisted-2.5.0.

src/www/htdocs/youtube.rpy

You will need to add the page to your personal www pages in local_conf.py
(PERSONAL_WWW_PAGE) or go there directly:
http://:8080/youtube.rpy

Only svn, it was done after 1.7.3 was released.

Have you fixed this?

If you VCR_CMD is something like:

VCR_CMD = ( 'record.sh' ... )
you could change it to either a string
VCR_CMD = 'record.sh %s %s %s' % (...)
or add bash to the first item:
VCR_CMD = ( '/bin/bash', 'record.sh', ... )

This should fix it.

BTW you don't need to convert the frequency as it can be passed as a
argument.

Don,

Have I updated all you previous patches in svn? I noticed that one could
have been missed.

I think that you were just unlucky to pick up a revision between commits.

BTW you will need to run
freevo convert_config /path/to/local_conf.py
and
freevo convert_config /path/to/local_conf.py -w

You need a recent xine for this to work, may not work with df_xine, not
sure.

Added a try block to catch this in bookmarker.py to svn, r9983.
