Hi Jerry and all HW+/DXR3 owners,
yes, it's not simple to get the HW+ to work but with freevo 1.3.4
I succeeded after some pitfalls. I'm remembering the python game error and
it frustated me. The key is a correct working patch version of the sdl lib
(1.2.5).
I downloaded the tarball freevo-1.3.4.tgz and compiled the sdl-library with
the dxr3 patch as described. Python Game Module doesn't work
with so far. BTW - have you configured the dxr3 correctly and works mplayer
with tvout properly ?
Step 2 after compiling was configuring these files (trivial)
freevo.conf
freevo_config.py
local_config.py (instead of freevo_config)
Don't forget to put the compiled sdl library in the runtime dll dir:
libSDL.
so my freevo.conf for europe pal (not complete):
(the geometry param must be edited by hand)
cdparanoia = ./runtime/apps/cdparanoia
chanlist = europe-west
display = dxr3
fbxine = /usr/local/bin/fbxine
geometry = 720x576
jpegtran = ./runtime/apps/jpegtran
lame = ./runtime/apps/lame
mplayer = ./runtime/apps/mplayer
oggenc = ./runtime/apps/oggenc
tv = pal
version = 2.1
xine = /usr/local/bin/xine
local_config.py:
maybe getting audio out from the HW+:
AUDIO_DEVICE = '/dev/em8300_ma-0'
I guess it's a not working sdl-library !
That's why I had some difficulties to
get it to work but now I'm satisfied
so far but pygame and mame/snes still not working!
BTW I'm using SuSE 8.0 and I can mail you my working SDL or patched source
tree. My hint get a proper compiled patched sdl lib and put it to the runtime
dll dir and don't forget to set eg a symbolic link to it and rename/delete
the distributed one.
maybe your libavcodec.so lib isn't correct or too old because
libSDL depends on it:
runtime/dll:
./libSDL-1.2.so.0
libavcodec.so => /usr/lib/libavcodec.so (0x40089000)
mplayer compiles that one or get it from the ffmpeg-site.
My working one is the old libavcodec-0.4.6.so -
(that's a hint to your error (afaik)): SDL dxr3 video driver w/ fame (0.1)
or it could be the famelib http://sourceforge.net/projects/fame
so I did it my way:
compiled libfame / fame
compiled ffmpeg
compiled mplayer
built the working sdl lib and putting it to the runtime/dll deleting the old
one
edited the config's in freevo roots and now I'm enjoying it but without the
game module (it has not to be deactivated to get freevo run)

BTW: oh there's a new one on the site ffmpeg.sourceforge.net (0.4.7) -
I just have no time to test it.
