I just wanted to drop everyone a line and say thanks. It seems like this list is mostly full of questions (as it should be), but I thought maybe a post of success would be a nice intermission.
I recently re-joined the list after doing some deep hacking/debugging in pursuit of finding why Freevo would not control the child video applications once they were launched. Long story short: It was because the OSD was being shut down when the video players were launched. I noticed that even though local_setup has the line OSD_SHUTDOWN=0 (or whatever the line is... I'm at work and don't have direct access to my box), in the freevo_conf there's actually an if/then depending on what video system is being used. Perhaps in the future, a note in the local_setup to indicate this would be good: I was under the impression it always defaulted to zero. But anyhow, chalk up one more X-less Freevo on Debian, with a G400 MAX video card. I'm enjoying it a lot. Next step, probably a used PVR-250 card. Or maybe build an IR remote receiver. Then it will really start to rock. Thanks for all the suggestions and help when I was trying to solve the problem before. The support is always appriciated. Can't wait to see the majikal Freevo 2.0. ^_^ James Panorama City, CA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
