Hi,
After the last mythtv segfault I could stand in one
weekend, I decided to give freevo a trial instead for
my PVR project. Thus far I really like it, the whole
feel or it is a lot slicker (and being a *nix geek I
prefer txt file setup to endless menu systems any
day).
I have XMLTV setup (using bleb and a grabber I found a
while ago that worked with mythtv) and it works in the
web interface (although clicking on programs brings up
a popup which hangs), and have freevo setup so it can
see the listings in the interface.
The problem arises when I try to watch or record TV,
which is kinda central to the project. I have an old
analog Haupaugge WinTV card (circa '98), which I have
bttv compiled into my Gentoo 2.6.10 kernel for. I've
tested it in xawtv and tvtime and works fine (and
tunes). I decided to use tvtime in freevo (using
plugin activate), but when it brings up tv it's always
got channel 0 selected. This isn't a great suprise, ps
-ax whilst it's running shows that freevo has passed
it '-c 0'
I'm sure my problem is just configuration based, but
after several hours of googling and playing around i'm
at a loss as to how to fix it. I'm not entirely sure
how i'm meant to enter the frequencies into freevo. I
know there's a frequency table, but I have no idea how
I'm meant to know the frequencies (trial and error
could take some time!). In my tvtime stationslist.xml
I have the following:
<list frequencies="freevo" norm="PAL">
<station name="BBC1" band="UHF" active="1"
position="0" xmltvid="south.bbc1.bbc.co.uk"
channel="108" finetune="0" norm="PAL"/>
<station name="BBC2" band="UHF" active="1"
position="1" xmltvid="south.bbc2.bbc.co.uk"
channel="111"/>
<station name="ITV 1" band="UHF" active="1"
position="2" xmltvid="itv1.itv.co.uk" channel="114"/>
<station name="Channel 4" band="UHF" active="1"
position="3" xmltvid="channel4.com" channel="117"/>
<station name="Five" band="UHF" active="1"
position="4" xmltvid="five.co.uk" channel="121"/>
</list>
and in my .xawtv file:
[5]
channel = 37
capture = on
[BBC2]
channel = 40
capture = on
[ITV]
channel = 43
capture = on
[south.bbc1.bbc.co.uk]
channel = 46
capture = on
[channel4.com]
channel = 50
capture = on
Clearly xawtv and tvtime use different 'channels' to
define what frequency to use. I've tried using the
frequency table option in my local_conf.py with these
channels, but no luck. All the configuration files
I've found posted online have not been uk analog TV,
so I haven't been able to crib off other people.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've included
my freevo.conf and local_conf.py at the end of this
mail, and am happy to provide whatever debugging info
needed. My knowledge of python is reasonably limited,
but I've used linux for 8 years and don't mind getting
my hands dirty :)
Thanks
Steven

# Notes:
# This file contains the freevo settings. To change
the settings
# you can edit this file, or better, put a file
named local_conf.py
# # in the same directory and add your changes
there. E.g.: when
# you # want a alsa as mplayer audio out, just put
# "MPLAYER_AO_DEV = # 'alsa9'" in local_conf.py
#
# This is no normal config file, it's Python code.
Because of that, you
# need to follow some rules to avoid crashes. The
examples should explain
# the settings, but make sure a line starting with
a variable has
# NO SPACES OR TABS at the beginning.

# TV Channels. This list contains a mapping from the
displayed channel name
# to the actual channel name as used by the TV
watching application.
# The display name must match the names from the XMLTV
guide,
# and the TV channel name must be what the tuner
expects (usually a number).
#
# The TV menu is supposed to be supported by the XMLTV
application for
# up to date listings, but can be used without it to
just display
# the available channels.
#
# This list also determines the order in which the
channels are displayed!
# N.B.: You must delete the XMLTV cache file (e.g.
/var/cache/freevo/TV.xml.pickled)
# if you make changes here and restart!
#
# Format: [('xmltv channel id', 'freevo display name',
'tv channel name'), ...]
#
# If this variable is set to None (default), Freevo
will try to auto-detect
# the channel list based on the xmltv file. This
doesn't work for all
# xmltv grabber, e.g. the German list doesn't contain
station lists. In this
# case Freevo will output the possible list for you to
add them manually.
#
# If auto-detection doesn't work or you want to edit
the list, run
# freevo tv_grab -query.
#
# Setting this variable to [] will deactivate the tv
guide. If you don't have
# a tv card, you may also want to add
plugin.remove('tv') to remove the whole
# tv menu.
#
# All channels listed here will be displayed on the TV
menu, even if they're
# not present in the XMLTV listing.
