Hi, i would like to user freevo 1.7.4 with dvbstreamer 0.8.
The Setup works (Live TV with pause). But i have one issue: Sometimes DVBstreamer fails to tune a channel. This will crash the freevo Frontend. I tried to catch the RuntimeError (that works) but i can't figure out how to tell freevo to switch back where it came from. So if i browse the tv-guide, try to tune a channel and dvbstreamer fails i would like to display a small dialog box "tuning channel failed" and drop back to the tv-guide. (For the recording plugin i would retry to tune for a few times, but for live tv dropping back would be fine for me). Another Issue, but i already have a workaround: Dvbstreamer updates its channel-names by reading the DVB-Stream. As Freevo tries to tune the channels by name not id (don't know if the streamer can do it) it will fail if the station updates its name (happens in germany with ZDF which will switch to ZDFW for widescreen). As a workaround i wrote a small python script reading the dvbstreamer sqlite database for the current name. In Freevo i placed the ID which doesn't change. right before i need to switch a channel i will translate it to the current name and switch then. The OSD displays "buffering channel 452" but i can live with it (way to lazy to update all the places where the name is used ;)) Greetings Christoph ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
