Well I did replace the deprecated popen calls by subprocess but I don't think that this is a problem with childapp more likely it is to do with generic_record and the VCR_CMD. There are two methods to pass command to childapp either as a string or as a list. The list is the preferred method as it starts the process directly whereas a string uses the shell to start the process. The problem that could occur with subprocess is the stopping logic, it is possible that something is done out of sequence. I'll have to double check this. > 2) xine.py is not terminating properly (a recording finishes at a > black screen), and then pressing "exit" crashes Freevo. Tracker item > #1745076. Fixed by rolling back xine.py to r9598. - From my xine playing tests there is: 2007-06-29 20:37:32,980 DEBUG childapp.py (134): Running (list) "/usr/bin/xine --auto-play=fq --hide-gui --borderless --geometry 800x600+0+0 --no-splash --stdctl -V xv -A alsa --no-lirc file:///freevo/video/movies/Pingu_-_S'_Häsli_goht_velore.mpg" with pid 14299 priority -10 Which says that the process is started as a list, process id 14299 and a nice level of -10. >> I don't/can't use dvb so I have no transport streams to test with, >> simply not available here. >> >> Can you do the same test with a normal mpeg program stream?

It could be a version problem because there was an addition to xine.py that calls: xine -S get_time --stdctl --no-splash --hide-gui to get the current position so that it is possible to resume watching a program later on. I've just added XINE_BOOKMARK to freevo_config.py and xine.py to turn this feature off (default). >>> If so, something would need to change to support more flexibly the >>> exit string in xine.py, or handle Xine quitting underneath it. >> >> Trouble is it's difficult to fix something that "works for me". > > Understood completely! :-) What I can try is to set up generic_record to use generic record with a saa7134 based card, but this will take a bit of time. Completely forgotten what needs to be set up for mencoder to work, :-). In the meantime can you tell me if the childapp is using a string or a list to start mplayer. >> Can you add a if cin.closed: line when it tries writing to cin and see if >> this helps.
