[Freevo-users] Freevo vs XBMC vs Boxee

2011-02-23 Thread Bill Burroughs
Hi all, I had been using Freevo for almost 4 years until about 4 months ago - I got a 720p TV, and as my Freevo box wasn't powerful enough to decode 720p, I bought myself a cheap little (Argosy) media box. Needless to say, losing the ability to customise things has got more and more annoyi

Re: [Freevo-users] Poor performances with mkv and mp4 files

2010-11-25 Thread Bill Burroughs
I'll let the expertsanswer that one for sure, but I would guess it is. I think if you've got a good graphics card, you can offload the decoding to that, but from the looks of your processor, you have an embedded one, which would suggest your graphics card probably isn't that great. My mach

G'day, What specs are the machine you're running on? My Freevo box doesn't do HD content at all, just plays really slowly, like it is having a really hard time processing it all. DJM23 Nothing is true; Everything is permissible... From: Vincent Giacomini

[Freevo-users] Restarting from an MCE remote when mplayer freezes

2010-09-11 Thread Bill Burroughs
Hi all, I'm hoping this is an easy one - some FLV files downloaded from youpube make mplayer freeze on me. The only way to fix it is a reboot (i.e. pressing the power button on the front of the machine to get xubuntu to shut down, then after 20-30 secs, press it again to start up). I'm hopin

[Freevo-users] Changing the sort order for a specific directory

2010-02-13 Thread Bill Burroughs
Hi all, This is probably an easy one; all I want to do is change the sort ordering of a single directory to being in date order instead of filename - basically it's my "incoming" or "dump them in there and deal with them later" directory. I'm hoping it's as simple as dropping a FXD file in the

[Freevo-users] Install 1.7.3, but leave 1.7.2 intact

2007-09-01 Thread Bill Burroughs
Hi all, When 1.7.3 came out, I read an article about installing it without overwriting 1.7.2 - or at least some way to back up 1.7.2 so that it could be easily restored. I can't find that article now, and want to do just that. I use my Freevo box every day, as does my girlfriend, and I don't

[Freevo-users] Volume control for 5.1 surround sound

2007-04-25 Thread Bill Burroughs
Hi all, I've just upgraded from a 2.0 sound card to a 5.1 (CMI8738 using cmipic under alsa). Sound works great, but when I use the M/N keys to change volume, it only changes the levels for the front channels. Bits of my local_conf.py that you might be interested in: # AUDIO_DEVICE = '/d
