As you suggested, I started freevo like so:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tomh]$ cd freevo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tomh]$ ./freevo -fs
Freevo tried to start. The screen went mostly blank (black), with some
stray gibberish in the middle of the screen. Apparently the system
locked up (I couldn't see anything else when I pressed Alt-Tab).
After rebooting, I added the following line to
/etc/freevo/local_conf.py:
DEBUG=1
I ran freevo as above with the same result. I rebooted, and looked for
the file /var/log/freevo/main-[uid], and found that there is no freevo
directory in /var/log. But I did see lots of new messages in the
command window when I ran freevo.
I scrolled thru the window, and saw the line which shows how mplayer is
being run:
/usr/bin/mplayer -ac mad, -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100 -screenw 800
-screenh 600 -fs -slave -ao oss:/dev/dsp -cache 5000 -v -vo
xv,sdl,x11,"/home/tomh/DVArchive/Local_Guide/Star Trek - Enterprise -
Impulse.mpg", poll=-1
If I enter that command directly in the command window, I get the
following error messages:
File not found: '/home/tomh/DVArchive/Local_Guide/Star Trek - Enterprise
- Impulse.mpg,'
vo: x11 uninit called but X11 not inited..
I removed the comma from in front of the 'poll=-1' and I get the same
thing that I get when I try playing the video from within Freevo; ie,
the blank screen with audio. Removing the 'poll=-1' makes no
difference.
Systematically removing parameters results in the following:
removing 'poll=-1' : no difference
removing '-v' : no difference
removing '-vo xv,sdl,x11' : video plays
Hmmm... something must be wrong with the -vo switch. I changed it to
'vo x11' and the video plays just fine.
Playing around the parameters a bit more, I find that the video plays
acceptably when I enter the command like so:
/usr/bin/mplayer -zoom "/home/tomh/DVArchive/Local_Guide/Star Trek -
Enterprise - Impulse.mpg"
So.... how do I get freevo to issue the mplayer command like I do in the
command window? I've changed the MPLAYER_ARGS_DEF line to be:
MPLAYER_ARGS_DEF = (('-ac mad, -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100
-screenw 1024 -screenh 768 -zoom -vo xv,x11,'))
Which results in the freevo-issued mplayer command:
/usr/bin/mplayer -ac mad, -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100 -screenw 1024
-screenh 768 -zoom -vo xv,x11, -slave -ao oss:/dev/dsp -cache 5000 -v
-vo xv,sdl,x11,"/home/tomh/DVArchive/Local_Guide/Star Trek - Enterprise
- Impulse.mpg" , poll=-1
I want to override the -vo parameter, but apparently I can't. Is it
possible?
