you DO want v4lctl installed on your freevo box. That way you can adjust color, bright and contrast to get better recordings. (and to reduce file size! I found by bringing up bright by 10% reduced my file sizes by simply washing out some of the minor details in bright areas. Overall I had a more pleasant to watch divx.)
Although I am swtiching over to mp1e and mpeg files now to take advantage of using hardware playback in video chipsets and the dxr3 on lower end hardware. -----Original Message----- From: Alan Murrell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2003 12:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo + mp1e Hi Aubin, Actually, I installed xawtv-control, and I think I can control channel changing using 'v4lctl' to do the channel changing. Here is my VCR_CMD now: --- VCR_CMD --- VCR_CMD = ('/usr/bin/v4lctl setnorm NTSC; ' + '/usr/bin/v4lctl setchannel %(channel)s; ' + '/usr/local/freevo/runtime/apps/mp1e ' + '-v ' + '-m3 ' + '-p/dev/dsp1 ' + '-r14,100 ' + '-S32 ' + '-a0 ' + '-c/dev/video0 ' + '-s640x480 ' + '-b3 ' + '-n%(timecode)s ' + '-o %(filename)s.mpg') --- VCR_CMD --- However, the traceback looks the same: --- TRACEBACK --- 2003/10/11 09:00 PDT [*RecordServer*] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/freevo-1.4-rc1/runtime/lib/python2.2/site-packages/twisted/pytho n/log.py", line 52, in callWithContext return context.call({ILogContext: newCtx}, func, *args, **kw) File "/usr/local/freevo-1.4-rc1/runtime/lib/python2.2/site-packages/twisted/pytho n/context.py", line 32, in callWithContext return func(*args,**kw) File "/usr/local/freevo-1.4-rc1/runtime/lib/python2.2/site-packages/twisted/inter net/default.py", line 122, in run self.mainLoop() File "/usr/local/freevo-1.4-rc1/runtime/lib/python2.2/site-packages/twisted/inter net/default.py", line 130, in mainLoop self.runUntilCurrent() --- <exception caught here> --- File "/usr/local/freevo-1.4-rc1/runtime/lib/python2.2/site-packages/twisted/inter net/base.py", line 368, in runUntilCurrent call.func(*call.args, **call.kw) File "./src/helpers/recordserver.py", line 698, in minuteCheck self.record_app.Record(rec_prog) File "/usr/local/freevo-1.4-rc1/src/tv/plugins/generic_record.py", line 92, in Record self.rec_command = config.VCR_CMD % cl_options exceptions.KeyError: timecode --- TRACEBACK --- However, I think the problem may be a little more than that, since if I use the above mp1e commands on the command line, nothing gets recorded; it just sort of sits there, so I will see if I can get that working first, but in the meantime, any ideas on what the traceback is showing would be appreciated.
