[Freevo-users] Password in fxd file

2008-01-18 Thread Simon Detheridge
Hi, I normally do parental control with a .password file. However, I have one dir that is now set up entirely through a custom fxd file. (VIDEO_ITEMS = ['foo','/path/to/foo.fxd']) Can I put a password in the fxd file instead? There's nothing about it in Docs/fxd_files.txt Cheers, Simon --

I tried using the webradio.fxd supplied with freevo, to add web radio support to my installation. However, most of the stations don't appear to work. They usually just appear for a second when I select them, and then I'm returned to the menu. No errors in freevo 'main' log. I did get *one* to work,

The imdb helper in 1.7.1 appears to have a bug that stops it from working properly... It seems two parameters were added to setImdbId in src/util/fxdimdb.py, "season" and "episode". This breaks the imdb helper (when run from the commandline, at least), which still tries to call the function with o

Using freevo's TV Guide, if I decide to watch TV while something is recording, the recording is killed at the point I activate the TV. Is it possible to get freevo to prevent me from doing this? (i.e. have Freevo refuse to allow watching of TV while recording is taking place?) Thanks, Simon -- "
