Hi Guys
I just got Freevo 1.5.4 installed on Ubuntu 5.1
To get mmpython to compile, I had to comment out some lines in setup.py:
# extensions = [ Extension('mmpython/disc/cdrom', ['disc/cdrommodule.c']) ]
extensions = []
# check for libdvdread (bad hack!)
# Windows does not have Popen4, so catch exception here
try:
child = popen2.Popen4('gcc -ldvdread')
#if child.fromchild.readline().find('cannot find') == -1:
# gcc failed, but not with 'cannot find', so libdvd must be
# somewhere (I hope)
# extensions.append(Extension('mmpython/disc/ifoparser',
['disc/ifomodule.c'],
#libraries=[ 'dvdread' ],
#library_dirs=['/usr/local/lib'],
#include_dirs=['/usr/local/include']))
#child.wait()
Is this OK? What will it affect?
Don't know.
Freevo is running using Xine. I have a folder of DVDs on my HD and it lets
me browse them and play them fullscreen, however once the movie is playing
there is no way to navigate the menus (but spacebar pauses the movie, so
some keyboard options are working) and there doesn't seem to be a way to get
out of Xine and back to Freevo - Esc just restarts the chapter I'm watching.
How do I make the menus work and how do I quit out of a movie back to
Freevo?
Seems that freevo might be losing control of the keyboard and xine is
catching keypresses directly instead. Try setting debug=1 and
childapp_debug=1 in your local_conf.py and do a bit more digging.
Is it possible to get Freevo to use totem as a player? I.e. /usr/bin/totem
--fullscreen /path/to/movie
There's no plugin for totem yet but it should be fairly easy. I hacked
the xine plugin a while ago to make it into a basic realplayer plugin,
you could do the same if you really wanted to.
Also, does anyone have an example of an fxd file for DVDs on a HD? I use a
program called Readerware to scan DVD barcodes, it looks them up and stores
them in a HSQL database. I export them to CSV and I then use a php/mysql
page to add those movies and allow searching on the fields. What I'd like to
be able to do is have php write out the fxd files automatically. I'm not
sure if the DTD is still valid as the Wiki says it isnt, so if anyone has a
copy of a working FXD file for DVDs on the drive (and can tell me where they
should go) I'd really appreciate it!
I don't have to hand but if you stuck I could make one. In the mean time
you could enable the imdb plugin and have it generate one for you :)
Thanks for your time and sorry about all the questions!
No problem, just a quick note. For lists like this it's best if you have
lots of questions to break them up into individual postings, you'll have
a much better chance of getting replies.
