Re: [Freevo-users] Running multiple versions

Thanks very much! You and John had identified the issue - I was running some old versions of kaa from the Ubuntu repositories. This link http://doc.freevo.org/FreevoAptUbuntu is invaluable for solving issues like these... Thanks for the replies, and thanks to the list, Daniel --- On Tue, 2

[Freevo-users] Running multiple versions

Hi all, I'm trying to upgrade from 1.73 to 1.82 seemlessly, so I want to run 1.82 for a while without replacing 1.73. I've followed the instructions for doing this with an SVN version (http://doc.freevo.org/SourceSVNInstallation) but am having problems getting things working. I installed to a

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo-1 improvement

Regarding safer TV guide downloading, there is a batch file in the wiki (Tips and Tricks) that implements a safe way to download XML data (i.e. it doesn't overwrite TV.xml unless the new file is good). The implementation is awful (I can say that, I wrote it!) and the fix gets around a specific

[Freevo-users] Error in videothumb.py

Hi all, I have not had thumbnails on my recorded programs since 1.7.1 - I upgraded to 1.7.4 in the hope it would fix things but still no luck. So I looked into it myself, and have a fix - but I don't know python, or the internals of freevo, so I want to check that what I've done is safe/right

[Freevo-users] deinterlacing settings

Hi all, I'm having problems getting deinterlacing to be activated correctly. I recorded 4 things over the weekend, the 1st and 3rd were correctly identified as needing deinterlacing by default, the 2nd and 3rd were identified as not needing deinterlacing. What is freevo doing here to detect i

Re: [Freevo-users] ivtv: part of picture missing from

Re: Part of picture missing: I think that this is not a bug in ivtv or freevo... Which type of input are you using? The signal is usually sent in widescreen format, and most hardware will decode the signal to whatever format you need - for example, my sky box has the option to convert to 16x9

[Freevo-users] advanced mplayer control

Hi All, I'm using ivtv and get black bars at the side of recordings - I've read this is common and a hardware problem. I want to get rid of them so I use mplayer's crop command: form the command line: mplayer -vf-add crop=610:460:10:0 -zoom works fine. However, the exact same command run fr

[Freevo-users] Safe Upgrade to Freevo 1.7

Hi all, I'm running Freevo 1.5.3 and fancy some of the new features in 1.7. However I trained the wife too well and now she won't live without freevo - so I have to upgrade as seemlessly as possible! Apt (on Ubuntu) thinks I have to upgrade almost everything to get anywhere, so can probably b

[Freevo-users] setting EPG behaviour

Hi all, A fairly dumb question, I'm afraid. I'm being irritated by the EPG playing tv instead of recording it when I select a soon-to-start show. I know that pressing 'F6' (RECORD) always brings up a record menu, which is great and what I want, but I've run out of keys on my remote and want t

Re: [Freevo-users] TV Out problem

Hi David and all, Does your "flickering" look like a vertical line tearing the picture? If so, I have the same problem in the UK, reproduced with both an ATI card and an NVIDIA card (its actually there in normal usage, which you can see by maximising and minimising windows... but is much harde

Re: [Freevo-users] xvideo question

This is a common problem that I share with you. I know of no solution - I really hope someone will prove me wrong! There is a bug report for it but it hasn't been fixed for a long time. A very old driver worked but caused terrible freezes on resolution change, etc... The bug report is: http://a

[Freevo-users] Using multiple inputs

Hi all, I'm trying to configure my freevo to use both the analogue input (tuner, input 0) and the cable (composite, input 1). I used this guide: http://www.xiaprojects.com/www/manuali/freevo/main.php Which allows me to define channels on both inputs, and to change to the correct input when chan
