The following page has been changed by 80.141.87.91: http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/DocumentationPage The comment on the change is: moved the last thing here to the new wiki ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @@ -1,53 +1,6 @@ -Most doc is in the new wiki now +Most doc is in the new wiki now: http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/ -'''Local index for this page only''' -[[TableOfContents]] - - - -=== Getting info from IMDB === - -Moved to the new wiki : http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/MoviePlugins#head-07b15ba96636a7ba18a6ddccd591527a31c2d268 - -== Logfiles == - -There is an option MPLAYER_DEBUG in freevo_config.py to turn on logging the MPlayer output to a logfile. -The logfiles are written in the directory freevo is started from, and they're named 'mplayer_stdout.log' and -'mplayer_stderr.log' - -Freevo also writes its own log files by default in /var/log/freevo. -To enable verbose logging in freevo and recordserver log files, add DEBUG=1 to your local_conf.py - -When troubleshooting there are a few steps you need to follow to make your life reposting an issue, and our life trying to resolve the issue, easier. -=== Step 1 === -Add this line to local_conf.py -{{{ -DEBUG=1 -}}} -Then restart Freevo! -This will turn on verbose output of most of the plugins. Warning: you'll get more info than you need, but more is better than less... -=== Step 2 === -Use the menu to do try whatever it is you are troubleshooting, then scroll through the log files for some information on what happens in the background. -==== Recordserver ==== -Check the log file: -{{{ -/var/log/freevo/recorserver-0.log -}}} - -Try the command you find. Does it run? If so then maybe you have a persmissions issue. Freevo 1.5.X can be running as any user you specify and thus that user needs the permissions set for recording device access.. - -==== Other Stuff ==== -Playing music or movies, check the log file: -{{{ -/var/log/freevo/main-0.log -}}} - -As above, try the command freevo runs. Does it work? If so, try it as the freevo user. If not, there's your issue.. - -An example: sometimes DVDs ripped to DivX by mencoder cannot be played by freevo. They can be played by mplayer directly, however. Looking in local_conf.py we see that the "-idx" option is specified with mplayer when it runs .avi files. Normally this is unnecessary, because its purpose is to rebuild broken avi indexes and most avi files don't need this. Usually it does no harm, but with the mencoded files in question it causes a bunch of error messages and mplayer quits. The fix is simply to remove the "-idx" from the mplayer options in local_conf.py. - -=== Step 3 === -If you still can't find the cause of the issue, post a query to the mailing list. Please include the relevent settings in your local_conf.py *and* the relavent log file output. + ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
