Hi,
I'm trying to set freevo with a pvr350 card using the IVTV record
plugin.
DEBUG=1 is set in the local_config.
I'm using the freevo and mmpython cvs version on gentoo. python 2.3.3
This is the first error I get when using the ivtv record plugin :

--------------------------------------------------------------------
in v4l2.py there are some print statements and I get a Unidecode error
when setting these ptint statements in comment I can go on.
The second problem is NTSC <=> PAL.
I am a pal user, ivtv driver is installed correctly I can capture
without problems when I do cat /dev/video1 > somefile.mpg The result is
a 720x576 mpeg file with sound.
My pvr350 card is /dev/video1, /dev/video0 is a from the dvb card that
isn't configured in freevo at the moment.
When capturing with freevo I get a 720x480 mpeg file.
This are some lines from my local_config file
----------------------------------------------------------
TV_REC_SIZE = (720, 576)
TV_RECORD_DIR = '/usr/local/freevo/record'
TV_RECORDFILE_MASK = '%%m-%%d %%Hh%%M %(progname)s'
TV_SETTINGS = 'PAL 4 europe-east /dev/video1'
IVTV_OPTIONS = {
'input' : 4,
'resolution' : '720x576',
'aspect' : 3,
'audio_bitmask' : 233,
'bframes' : 3,

'dnr_temporal' : 0,
'dnr_type' : 0,
'framerate' : 0,
'framespergop' : 15,
'gop_closure' : 1,
'pulldown' : 0,
'stream_type' : 10
}
VIDEO_GROUPS = [
VideoGroup(vdev="/dev/video1",
adev=None,
input_num=4,
tuner_norm=CONF.tv,
tuner_chanlist=CONF.chanlist,
desc='Cable',
group_type="ivtv",
recordable=True),
]
---------------------------------------------------------
When looking at the kernel messages I see the ivtv size changes when
recording with freevo. I added an extra print statement to see that the
vnorm the recordserver gets is PAL, here is the recordserver log file :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
So the video standard is correct but the resolution is incorrect. AM I
missing something ?
