Hi, I want to give you a Freevo 2.0 update in case you want to try it or even better, want to start adding stuff.
Important for users: 1. I did a huge cleanup and moved stuff around. Before installing, remove the installed code (/usr/lib/python-xx/site-package/freevo and call 'python setup.py clean'. This makes sure that there is no util or config directory in the installation, they are small files again. 2. I prepared the config code for kaa.config integration. There are some variables gone now but I don't think you will miss them. In case you miss the mplayer and xine config code, check player.conf in your ~/.freevo (after you started freevo for the first time, sorry, this will change later). There is also no freevo.conf file anymore, everything is in freevo_config.py. Please check this file. E.g. geometry from freevo.conf is now GUI_WIDTH and GUI_HEIGHT in your local_conf.py. 3. The games module is moved to broken plugins. It needs some help (see below if you want to help). 4. Video resume does not work because I switched to kaa.popcorn as video player. It will be fixed soon. 5. Watching TV does not work. The 'player' needs to be ported to use kaa.popcorn. It is not very high on my todo list, I prefer to record stuff and watch later so I can fast forward in the recording. 6. Only X using xv for video is supported right now. If you want to help fix this, read below. It should all work, nothing should crash. If it does, please report. Now some notes in case you want to help: 1. freevo.ui is now a real python module. This means you can't import menu from a plugin, you need to import freevo.ui.menu. This has the nice effect that we don't need to modify the python path and I created menu/plugin.py importing the normal plugin without name conflict. 2. The games code is broken and needs some adjustments. If you want to help, please contact me. I have some ideas we should discuss so that the code doesn't break again when I do the kaa.config switch. 3. TV needs more plaugins and a player. As written above, this is not high on my list. If you want to help, please send a mail. 4. To support fb output (console) again some small pieces of code are missing. Mplayer supports fb, so does kaa.xine using vidixfb. Other xine backends are only 5-10 lines of code. Freevo also has a fb backend. The only thing missing is some glue in kaa.popcorn. Again, send a mail if you want to help. 5. DFB support is a bit more work, kaa.xine and kaa.display may need a larger update. Rob started working on this, no clue about the status. 6. If you want to port features I removed or new features for 1.7 to 2.0, feel free to do so. But do not port plugins that require special stuff from the gui (like the weather plugin). There will be one last (I hope last) gui update before the next release. That's it for now. Have fun Dischi -- Symbol's function definition is void: signature
