Nevermind. Did it myself... ugly, weird way.
I saw Python for the first time today and _reading_ that is easy :)
Anyway, if anyone is interested I modified freevo_config.py: at line 1031, 1032 if CONF.display == 'x11': MPLAYER_VO_DEV = 'vesa' # originally was 'xv,sdl,x11,'
the parameter MPLAYER_VO_DEV from local_config.py was added only after the comma, so mplayer was starting with "-vo xv,sdl,x11,vesa'. However, it faiiled before could try vesa so I could see nothing on TV :)
And, in "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/video/plugins/mplayer.py" I simply commented out the lines adding deinterlace (?) parameter "-df" which was causing me other problems.
It is ugly, quick hack but it plays videos on my f**** ATI card that has got no drivers support (9100 IGP).
cu, bob

Subject: [Freevo-users] Pls help: Video not playing from Freevo, playing from command line (mplayer)
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2004 22:37:16 +0200
Hi.
First of all, thanks to devs for this piece of software. Am almost there but...
I made my first install of Linux beside dedicated servers (which is soooo much easier) and after struggling with all kinds of new hardware I came to the point when everything seems to be working, even freevo is on the TV - using generic VESA mode.
The trouble is, when I want to play video, all it shows is blank (black) screen.
I tried to play the same from prompt and Xprompt and it played OK when mplayer was run with "-vo vesa" option.
So, I tried to play with the local_conf.py file and add:
MPLAYER_VOD_DEV = 'vesa'
..
MPLAYER_VO_DEV_OPTS = 'vesa' (which was not probably correct but have not found any documentation for this :( )
and finally
MPLAYER_ARGS_DEF = '-vo vesa'
Unfortunately, all I get from the video file is sound, no picture in freevo. Anyone could help, please?
System data:
uname -a:
Linux freevo 2.6.8.1 #1 Fri Aug 20 15:02:17 CEST 2004 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Distro is Gentoo.
Freevo 1.5.0 (installed using rsync from web site)
If you need any further details, ask. Thanks in advance for your help. Bob
