Hi, I started messing around with freevo last week, and I am really impressed with where it's at! I'd like to help out with the effort if I can find a spot to apply myself.
I have a question, but first - some info on my setup: Freevo version: 3.5 video card: ATI TV-Wonder VE (Actually, it works pretty good considering the $$) OS: RH 9 Kernel: 2.4.20-23 I've installed from rpm's. On to the question: The recording server is looking for a file called record_schedule.xml. The local_conf.py file (and of course the corresponding freevo_config.py file * see note below) has the following setting: REC_SCHEDULE_FILE = '/tmp/freevo_record.lst' Even if they (freevo and the recording server) are pointed to the same file, they are different formats. Which means that when one selects a program and "F6's" to record it from freevo, the two entites will not meet in the middle - meaning the recording server never gets notification that there is something to record (a snippet from the recording server's log file): 2003/09/01 21:16 MDT [*RecordServer*] in checkToRecord 2003/09/01 21:16 MDT [*RecordServer*] GET: reading cached file (/var/cache/freevo/record_schedule.xml) 2003/09/01 21:16 MDT [*RecordServer*] Got ScheduledRecordings (version 2). 2003/09/01 21:16 MDT [*RecordServer*] ScheduledRecordings has 0 items. I've searched around quite a bit in the news group and documentation for the answer to this, and I'm hoping I will not look like the twit who is asking this question for the n'th time... But, here it goes: It doesn't seem like the linkage between freevo and the recording server can work at all. I'm somehow missing a big piece of the puzzle - how to either tell freevo to save the recording schedule in an XML format that the recording server will understand, or vice versa. The documentation on this is a little light. From subtle comments on the email list, there might be a large piece of documentation on the recording server that I've missed (including the setup of the web interface). I would love to help out on some of this. If you can help me understand the linkage, I can document it in a fuller fashion for the web based docs... Perhaps this is already fully explained in a web based doc that I am missing? Thanks for any help you can provide. cheers, Greg Note: - the subtle name difference in the freevo_config.py file vs. local_conf.py (which one is suppose to create to make the local modifications) hung me up for several minutes... It might be wise to highlight the "config" vs "conf" difference better on the web page. Maybe I'm the only one who missed this, so it's just my $0.02 worth. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
