very cool Rob... thanks for the updated info. I have been pretty much dubbed the freevo-guy here at work and at the LUG (Linux users Group) I've built 7 freevo machines so far (and getting tired of having different hardware to mess with each time.)
I know the number one feature people have ben asking me about is the items planned for the record server... (I.E. record spongebob every time it shows up) again, I give everyone working on freevo a big thank you and a thank you. Just FYI: I had one person here tell me that freevo is better than windows XP media center. after they messed with the freevo I have set up in the board room... so it's right on track! -----Original Message----- From: Rob Shortt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 10:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo 1.4rc1 is out Gray, Tim wrote: > Is the new record server hardcoded for recording or can I still customize > the record command.

I assume you have a shell or wrapper script that you call from VCR_CMD to do this? Also it might be possible to make a Freevo daemonplugin that looks for the lock file that is created when you are recording and flip your LED when the file is there... just a thought but it might not quite fit your situation since you also adjust the mixer settings at the same time. I know that other people have mixer issues while recording too, maybe someone can come up with a solution that is more integrated into the recording process. > > also has the bug in the record system gone that refuses to record anything > unless you edit the python source and add some text as outlined in the FAQ? > or did that bug not follow across to the record server.... You must be talking about the LD_PRELOAD thing.

There's a binary release now that is based on the last released runtime. I still plan on updating the runtime with newer versions of the dependencies. > One suggestion for the record server.

If no one supplies a patch I will get to it eventually. ;) -Rob ------------------------------------------------------- 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 ------------------------------------------------------- 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
