Hi,
I just updated the init start script for Freevo when you use
Gentoo. The script is boot/gentoo-freevo, the needed config to be
placed as /etc/conf.d/freevo is gentoo-conf.d. Please convert this
script for Debian and to chkconfig for SuSE and RedHat and send it to
the list.
What's the great about it?
We have three differeny kinds of computer running Freevo:
1. A HTPC, running Freevo all the time. Freevo should pop up on
startup.
2. A PC running Freevo but also running 'normal' sessions to work.
3. A PC only for recording. The webserver and recordserver are running
there.
Based on what PC you have, you can set the variables in
/etc/conf.d/freevo. Since I already wrote comments in this file, I
only copy it here:
# Mode to start Freevo itself. Possible values are
#
# no: don't start Freevo
# yes: start Freevo on startup. You should only use this when the
# computer is for Freevo only or you use Freevo with a DXR3
# daemon: start Freevo in daemon mode. The daemon will wait for you to
# press QUIT or POWER on your remote and will than start
# Freevo. After Freevo shut down, the daemon will wait again.
#
# You don't need a X server running to start Freevo from init. If
# needed, Freevo will start a X server on its own. Make sure your X
# server can handle the resolution defined in /etc/freevo/freevo.conf
freevo="no"
# Mode the start the webserver. Possible values are again "no" and
# "yes". If you start the webserver with Freevo itself, you should say
# no here.
webserver="no"
# Mode the start the recordserver. Possible values are again "no" and
# "yes".
recordserver="no"
I tested this script with "daemon" and "yes" for display x11 and mga
(all the reboots, I felt like using Windows).
Expect the changes in the snapshots tomorrow (or when Aubin starts the
script before that). I will update the Gentoo ebuilds now, so merging
freevo-snapshot and mmpython-snapshot will bring you this feature for
Gentoo.
