Hi Richard,
Some testing from this morning, when I run the command from an xterm on
another machine.
df_xine --layer=0 --deinterlace pvr:///freevo/timeshift/buf-
xine --hide-gui -pq -g -B --geometry 720x576+0+0 --no-splash --no-lirc
-V xv -A alsa --stdctl pvr:///freevo/timeshift/buf-
both works perfectly.
So I guess that the problem is there is a ioctl being done in freevo
that the PVR-500 doesn't like, tracking this down is a bit harder.
I've improved the fbxine and df_xine test in the plug-in to:
try:
xinecmd = config.XINE_COMMAND.split(' ')[0].split('/')[-1]
self.fbxine = xinecmd in ('fbxine', 'df_xine')
except:
xinecmd = ''
self.fbxine = False
And added two debugs for xinecmd and self.fbxine.
The changes have been committed in r8353.
I will also add an ioctl to get (IVTV_IOC_G_VBI_EMBED) and set the
(IVTV_IOC_S_VBI_EMBED) the embedded vbi data.
But I don't want to do this as this is a problem with xine, but I may be
forced to.
I've put in a bug report on the xine tracker for this problem.
