I know, I know, you think this is just another one of those "does Freevo work on Mac OS X" emails that you get once a week. Nope, not quite. I am setting freevo up on my iMac (to be moved to to a mac mini when I buy one) though. I do have freevo working so far. I installed all of the dependencies through DarwinPorts and have been tweaking some configuration settings for pygame and mplayer to get things to work. I can watch movies, listen to music, and look at pictures just fine. I do have some questions/comments though:
1. Why is the fullscreen option only available with x11? It seems to me that pygame is the abstraction layer and it handles fullscreen just fine on Mac OS X (using the quartz display engine). 2. Why do I have to set the display geometry in the freevo.conf? Again, pygame can determine all of the display modes that work for the depth Freevo is working at (32bits) and then take the highest. That would take some of the "manualness" out of things (unless people wanted to specifically set that value). 3. How do I configure Freevo to show the movie posters and description and stuff when browsing movies (a la http://freevo.sourceforge.net/ss/blurr/freevo_ss3_640.jpg)? 4. Is there any more documentation on the picture slide show features? I haven't seen a single thing other than a note in the wiki about "ssr" files. I'm sure I'll have more later. If people are interested, I can email the list more details about how I got things to work in OS X. -- PC Drew ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
