Hello,
I'm currently using
a Hauppauge PVR350 on Fedora Core 1. I am using Freevo 1.5.3 and have managed to
get most things I require working... i.e. X on Framebuffer, Audio, Web Radio
etc.
My problem lies when
trying to watch live TV or watch a video. It is neccesary to use "ivtvfbctl
--nolocalalpha --globalalpha" or "ivtvfbctl --localalpha --noglobalalpha" to
switch between X and MPlayer's Framebuffer output.
Now, there are
config settings...
OSD_SDL_EXEC_AFTER_STARTUP = ""
OSD_SDL_EXEC_AFTER_CLOSE = ""
I've created Bash scripts to run the relevant "ivtvfbctl" command, but nothing seems to happen. When I select a Video item or TV, the Freevo interface closes and leaves me with my X desktop, but the Movie does not appear.
However, the video is playing as the Freevo interfaces remains hidden for the exact duration of the video and then reappears. Also, if I manually type the "ivtvfbctl" commands into a terminal, I can get the video to appear.
Now, apart from this one complication, I have impressed my housemates and other friends and colleagues with Freevo as it is such an excellent product. I've used my Freevo project as an introduction to Linux.Please can anyone help?Cheers,Louis King
