I'm using Freevo 1.5.0 and the most recent mplayer source, also LIRC for remote control input. The system was all set up and I had remote control working through Freevo when listening to music with mplayer. However, when I watched a video, I would lose not only LIRC control, but also keyboard control. + +Freevo attempts to execute mplayer in 'slave' mode; that is, with options '-slave' and -'stdin'. Actually, the current mplayer.py source doesn't include the latter. Thing is, as of June or July of 2004, the mplayer command line argument to designate between console and stdin modes has changed. Instead of '-slave', '-stdin'; it is now '-noconsolecontrols'. This will instruct newer mplayer build to get input only from STDIN. + +To remedy my problem, I removed all 'prog = freevo' type maps in my LIRCRC file, then edited the mplayer.py plugin source that comes with the Freevo tarball. It can be located at ./$FreevoSource$/src/video/plugins/mplayer.py. I changed the definition of the function that actually calls mplayer. I replaced the argument '-slave' with '-noconsolecontrols' and now I have direct LIRC control over mplayer. This may or may not be the correct way of implementing control, but it's the only thing that I could get to work. If this is a bug, let's work it on out. Keep up the good work all. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
