[Freevo-devel] VideoGroups too complicated
Hi,
I found the VideoGroups part in Freevo too complicated. Maybe it's
just me, but maybe we should use a simpler layout. Here a suggestion,
let me know if I missed something:
We have one Channel list. This list has everything we can play. The
tunerfreq will be changed to _how_ to play this:
CHANNEL_LIST = [
('ard.de', 'ARD', 'dvb:Das Erste'),
('zdf.de', 'ZDF', 'dvb:ZDF'),
('vox.de', 'VOX', 'tv:1234'),
('rtl.de', 'RTL', 'ivtv:1234'),
('', 'My Webcam', 'cam:0') ]
The first two channels are shown by using a dvb backend. Whatever this
is. The 3rd. is analog tv on tuner id 1234, the 4th using the ivtv
backend on tunerid 1234 and the last is a webcam.
Now, how to play this? When Freevo wants to tune to that channel, it
will ask every plugin 'can you show dvb:ZDF?'. The tvtime plugin will
say no, others like mplayer and xine will say yes. The best player
will be taken. About the cam:0, you can set special url handlers for
some player. E.g. TV_MPLAYER_URLS['cam:0'] = 'needed mplayer
args'. Since xine and other don't know about cam:0, they will reject
playing. Mplayer knows and will be taken.
Is it too simple or could it work?

[Freevo-devel] cvs status
Hi, it's done. Everything I wanted to break is broken now :-) I checked in the current status I have because I won't be able to do anything until Monday. Feel free to fix something again. But you shouldn't touch anything gui related because the internal design will change once more. The recordserver needs an update. I guess it's not working anymore, but I made some cleanups that needed to be made. Everything for the recordserver is now in the subdir 'record'. Rob: you can load more than one plugin from record/plugins now. If someone has some time, feel free to fix this again. The TV part is also broken. The tvlisting isn't shown. I moved some code to the gui but it's not done yet. I will fix this ASAP. As descussed in a different thread, the VideoGroups are now gone and replaced by the code in channels.py. Right now only dvb is working, maybe someone else can extend the code keeping me more time for other problems. The player also need an update. Only xine with dvb is working now. Look in the xine code to see how to update a player. BTW, the epg files are gone, we now use pyepg from the lib dir. But only channels.py should access this, everything else should access the epg through channels.py. I also remove the 'page' code from the menu, it's in the gui code now. The menu doesn't have to know about how many items fit the page. Dischi -- The best things in life aren't things. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.

But the gui redesign will still support pygame. But it would prefer other backends if they are installed. Why use pygame when imlib2 or gtkpixbuf support is possible? And one other reason why I don't like pygame: it has no support for an external main loop. People start to hate the sleep(0.01) we do in our main loop. They ask, why not use select? Because I can't get a file descriptor from pygame, I need active waiting. Very bad.

Ok, so I've been doing some work on recordserver and ivtv_record and
am running into some pitfalls wrt the lack of VideoGroups. Sorry to
do this but I need to bring this up again. :)
No problem, we need to find the best working setup.
What we talked about using:
TV_[DVB|TV|IVTV]_[DEVICE|POST_CMD|PRE_CMD...] ie: TV_DVB_DEVICE =
['/dev/dvb']
CHANNEL_LIST = [
('vox.de', 'VOX', ['dvb:VOX', 'tv0:1234', 'tv1:1234'])
]
(Or Hans' suggestion... see below)
TV_MPLAYER_URLS['tv0'] = '-tv device=/dev/video0:...'
TV_MPLAYER_URLS['tv1'] = '-tv device=/dev/video1:input=4...'
TV_MPLAYER_URLS['ivtv0'] = '-cache 8192 /dev/video2'
We are still missing some fine grained configuration that came from
video groups, most of that config we don't really need but we need to
know more about each dvb/tv0/tv1 such as: audio device to capture
from, are we using tuner, composite, or svideo input, what number said
input is mapped to on the card, the norm (NTSC/PAL/SECAM), and the
chanlist (us-cable, etc).
I only know about dvb and here it is very clean. All stuff for _one_
card is in one directory inside /dev. But from your mail I guess this
is not the case for analog audio.
The old VIDEO_GROUPS array is very user unfriendly and the TV_*
single variable assignment is much cleaner from that perspective.
On the other hand if we introduce new variables for
TV_[DVB|TV|IVTV]_[device|input|norm|adevice...] there will be too
many variables to deal with and even then you also have to consider
multiple devices of each kind (tv0, tv1, tv2). We had talked about
using lists to handle that, which introduces more complexity.
I've done some more thinking and come up with something in
between. Inside config.py I would like to introduce a new class:
class TVSettings:
vdev:The video device, such as /dev/video.
adev:The audio device, such as /dev/dsp.
What does adev have to do with the tv settings? Aren't this normal
output settings? And what is /dev/video? I guess it is a simple
link. were is the destination?
input_type: tuner, composite, svideo, webcam
input_num: The number of this input according to V4L
tuner_norm: NTSC, PAL, SECAM
tuner_chanlist: us-cable,
Problem here: for dvb we don't need this at all.
That is much smaller than VideoGroup. But still, we don't want users
to have to instantiate this class by themselves in their config! We
can do that behind the scenes in config.py or freevo_config.py (please
bear with me):
# Accept the defaults for the first regular tv card
TV_SETTINGS['tv'] = TVSettings()
# The user may decide to call that tv0 instead, do another for convenience
TV_SETTINGS['tv0'] = TVSettings()
TV_SETTINGS['tv1'] = TVSettings()
TV_SETTINGS['tv1'].vdev = '/dev/video1'
TV_SETTINGS['tv1'].adev = '/dev/dsp1'
TV_SETTINGS['tv2'] = TVSettings()
TV_SETTINGS['tv2'].vdev = '/dev/video2'
TV_SETTINGS['tv2'].adev = '/dev/dsp2'
# Accept the defaults for the first ivtv card
TV_SETTINGS['ivtv'] = TVSettings()
TV_SETTINGS['ivtv'].adev = None
TV_SETTINGS['ivtv'].input_num = 4
# The user may decide to call that ivtv0 instead, do another for convenience
TV_SETTINGS['ivtv0'] = TVSettings()
TV_SETTINGS['ivtv0'].adev = None
TV_SETTINGS['ivtv0'].input_num = 4
TV_SETTINGS['ivtv1'] = TVSettings()
TV_SETTINGS['ivtv1'].vdev = '/dev/video1'
TV_SETTINGS['ivtv1'].adev = None
TV_SETTINGS['ivtv1'].input_num = 4
TV_SETTINGS['ivtv2'] = TVSettings()
TV_SETTINGS['ivtv2'].vdev = '/dev/video2'
TV_SETTINGS['ivtv2'].adev = None
TV_SETTINGS['ivtv2'].input_num = 4
# Accept the defaults for the first DVB card
TV_SETTINGS['dvb'] = TVSettings()
TV_SETTINGS['dvb'].vdev = '/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0'
# Or we could use '/dev/dvb/adapter0/' to find each device
# in that dir.
Or only TV_SETTINGS['dvb'].device = 0.
TV_SETTINGS['dvb'].adev = None
This is nonsense. We will never have an adev for dvb. I guess we need
some sort of intelligence here:
TV_SETTINGS['dvb0'] = TVSettings()
This will auto-configure the TVSettings:
- set mode to dvb
- set device to adapter0
So TV_SETTINGS needs to be much more than a simple dict. But the
interface should be like the one you propose.
TV_SETTINGS['tv0'].vdev = '/dev/video1'
# Or maybe their second tuner is on video2
TV_SETTINGS['tv1'].vdev = '/dev/video2'
We can auto-detect this (more or less). Should we support /dev/video1
for tv0? Or do we also prefer /dev/videoX for tvX?
Actually I'm having a hard time thinking of scenarios where the user
might need to change something and even then it is easy. If the user
needs more than 3 tv cards they should be able to figure out how to
add 'tv3'.
Also, I like Hans' suggestion of using DEFAULT_CHANNEL_METHOD =
['tv0', 'tv1'] or CHANNEL_METHOD_ALTERNATIVES = {'tv0': 'tv1'} to
default to one type and to determine that two devices see the same
channels.
I would prefer the last one.
I would still like to use

If the user may get to see this class name at some point, I would
suggest a name like TVCard instead of settings, because from a
user point of view, this is all about settings. This can be a class
within the module config, so that it's namespaced
(i.e. config.TVCard from the rest of the code).
Yes, they would only need to instantiate it if adding a 4th card and
when the class is defined in config.py then it is in the same
namespece as where they'd use it (local_conf.py / freevo_config.py).
Also, tv0 and tv1 don't need to be on seperate cards, one could be for
using the tuner, the other for svideo.
Is it possible to do some auto-detection here?
for X in /dev/dvb/adapter[0-9] TV_SETTINGS['dvbX'] = DVBSettings(X)
That's all. Next the CHANNELS_CONF:
c = [part of CHANNELS_CONF] = ('art.de', 'ARD', 'ARD')
if c[2] is string and there is dvb card:
c = ('art.de', 'ARD', 'dvb:ARD')
if c[2] not endswith number:
if there is card0 for dvb:
c = ('art.de', 'ARD', 'dvb0:ARD')

Almost off topic.. But can an event be posted with a variable? Like can
CAPTURE_START / STOP event be sent with content like filename/pid/chanel etc
of capture? I think it wouldmake sense..
An event is an Object from event.Event. This can have an arg, e.g.
foo = Event('EVENT_NAME', arg=2)
If you compare events with events (or with strings), the arg is
ignored. So you can
if foo == 'EVENT_NAME':
print foo.arg

Bruno Tavares wrote: Mick wrote: But how should Freevo be able to control a child of a child? Freevo just has to worry on killing all the spwaned childs and it's sub-childs. Since most of the helper processes do not notify anything about spwaning sub-childs the only way i see to make this work is to assign a process group to all your spawned helper-childs. When you send a SIG_WHATEVER to the process group, all the processes in that group(including (sub)+-childs) receive it. It's full-proof and it eliminates unexpected behaviours from the helpers. Now you got me. What are process groups? My knowledge says: when a child dies, the kernel sends SIGCHILD to the parent. The parent than should 'wait' for it to remove the zombie process. If a process dies, all children are now children of process 1 (init). So how can you get information when a child of your child dies? Only your child gets this. I wish I knew.. This could more easily be broken into how can any python know the pid of a child of a child. How can any process know of a child pid of a child (without searching the process structure in /proc)? I've been searching through python docs and mailing lists and I can't find a solution to this. Any ideas are welcome.. The fact is any child of a child which does not die when the child is sent SIGTERM is a badley progmramed child, and should be punished ;-).~ No it's not :) There are plenty of justifiable reasons for this to happen. And of course, this should not be punished, the child should be spwaned having in mind that it MIGHT spwan a subchild. But if the child dies, the parent of the subchild is init. Since you don't know about the subchild, you don't get termination notification.

[Freevo-devel] GUI update (again)
Hi, I included Jasons mevas and pyimlib2 into Freevo to get a better backend for the drawing stuff. I just checked in the new version, I hope it's working. Why mevas? This lib can handle canvas like I wanted for a long time. You can remove obejts, fade them in and out, move around the screen, etc. And it's very fast. For that speed you need pyimlib2, it's in lib/pyimlib2. Install current imlib2 and call 'make' in that dir. Mevas also provides different outputs. Right now, Freevo uses pygame output for the menu and bmovl for mplayer. Other outputs are imlib2 window (not finished), bmovl2 (not working) and tvtime (not integrated, I don't have an analog tv card). There are many 'FIXME's in the code, I will fix this later. Also there are some animations were they don't belong -- it's a test right now. For full screen animation, try the image viewer. Now we can put Freevo back together, all deactivated plugins must be touched to make them work again. That's it for today, I hope you like it.

(time-box mode): Programs running at 08.05: Channel 1 Program w Channel 2 Program x Channel 3 Program y Channel 4 Program z ... The tv-guide should be able to toggle between time-box and channels mode. This way more space (i.e. the total width of the screen) is available for a tv guide entry. Time-box mode could step by 5 minutes or so when pressing the left/right (pageing) key. Hope this description is clear enough, mail me otherwise! I just had a similar idea. Why not two types of tv guides. We use the tv guide for two reasons: watching tv now and recording. Both have different needs: Watching now: I want to know what's up at this time on all channels. This is the time boxed mode from above. It is similar to the current guide but you can't select a program, you select a channel. If you select a program in 3 minutes, you still get the channel and the program starts in 3 minutes. So selecting channels is the logic here. Record: I know the channel, so a simple listing area is want we want here. Everyone who tried to record a program the day after tomorrow knows that the current guide can't handle this well. Now we only need a way to switch between the two ways. Comments requested before I do this.

Please try to report bugs, but do not install Freevo for daily use. Before testing, you need to call 'make' in the lib/pyimlib2 dir. Images: the image directory is working again. Nothing is on my todo list here. The only thing not working is the gphoto plugin. I only have a mass storage device camera, so I don't use gphoto. Can someone please fix this? Please send me a note if you are willing to help. Audio: the audio player is also working, but most plugins are not. The next thing I want to fix is the detach plugin and the detachbar. And the mplayervis plugin is completly broken, someone has to fix this. I heard you want to go to libvisual, this sounds great. Keep in mind that we don't use pygame anymore so you need to render in an imlib2 image. Contact me if you have questions about the integration. And feel free to fix a plugin in the audio dir. Video: basic video watching also works. Like audio, most plugins are deactivated and need smaller updates. The bmovl support is now inside mplayer. If you use a software scaler for mplayer (scale+expand), you can see this. When you seek, you see a small bmovl seek indication, pressing DISPLAY gives you a nice information box. Games: the games stuff needed some osd.py code. Since this is gone, this part is deactivated. I have no games and no intention to install some. If someone has some free time, please fix this. Idlebar: most plugisn don't work, only two: logo and clock. But it's not that hard to reactivate them. Please do if you like. Popupbox: most boxes are broken. I'm still thinking of a good design. We need some sort of layoutmanager for mevas here. Every help is welcome. If Freevo crashes for things I wrote it's working, maybe it's because of the boxes. TV: the tv stuff is broken. But the guide should work. The guide is very slow right now, it has not been optimized. And you can press ENTER on a program to get a channel listing. But you can neither watch or record now. IIRC Rob is fixing the recordserver right now. Recordserver: broken, Rob is on it. Webserver: don't know, I guess it's also broken, let's wait until Rob updated the recordserver. Now I have some design / skin questions: if you seek in mplayer or press DISPLAY, what do you want to see? How should it look like? I will code this, but I need cool ideas. Maybe someone can use Gimp to create a fake screenshot how it should look like? Also when you press ENTER on the TV guide, how should the channel list look like? Ideas please. And last but not least: we need more output devices. Since we are not independed from pygame, we don't need sdl hacks for the dxr3 anymore. The mevas interface gives you an imlib2 image, maybe someone can write an output plugin for that. Most the work is coding in C. If you want to help with any output plugin, please conatct me or Jason (in IRC he has the nickname Tack). We need the following output plugins: - xine: xine has an internal image to display above the video. We need a simple plugin to get our display image to xine. - dxr3: maybe an interface to render the image to mpeg and display it on the dxr3 - dvb: the same as dxr3 for full featured dvb cards - mga: a mga_vid.o interface would also be very cool. - fb: basic framebuffer support without pygame - imlib2: the imlib2 output support needs some code to handle X events to redraw and to handle pressed keys. This requires hacking some basic X stuff in pyimlib2/display.c - directfb: glue between pydfb and mevas. Again: I need help here, I can't and won't do that all by myself. Please contact me if you are willing to help on some part here.

Note about visualization stuff. at least my point of view. We should go with LibVisual, it rocks! It support the same mpav supports and even more, it's not tied to any output, we can get it the way we want. At this time, xmms and amarok are supported, I hope freevo is next ;) What have to be done is Python wrapper to access the C code, I have no experience with this... someone told me about PyRex and I'll try, but I'll wait a little more until the API is more stable. If someone has experience with C - Python api, contact-me. I have some. You can look at the ifoparser in mmpython. Or ask Jason, he has experience in this with pyimlib2 and also knows imlib2 what you will need to display. Popupbox: most boxes are broken. I'm still thinking of a good design. We need some sort of layoutmanager for mevas here. Every help is welcome. If Freevo crashes for things I wrote it's working, maybe it's because of the boxes. I'm not aware of the current problems... could you open another topic and point them? How to loyout the content? The old layoutmager? Or a new one with a different logic? Either way, the old one is not working because now the objects are CanvasObjects from mevas and the layoutmager needs to be fixed. Anyone? TV: the tv stuff is broken. But the guide should work. The guide is very slow right now, it has not been optimized. And you can press ENTER on a program to get a channel listing. But you can neither watch or record now. IIRC Rob is fixing the recordserver right now. Why it's slow? Because it's only a quick port from the old area code to the mevas support. Right now it redraws everything on every event. That's bad, but it's also a nice test to see Jasons speed up ideas for mevas when he's done. Also, how the guide will be? The 2-style thing was discussed before or the old-bloated we have? I'm for the 2-style (or more) guide and have some ideas to colorize items. We should mark past programs in another color, rank most viewed (need stats) and mark to be recorded/favorites/groups... Right now, it is two style. You see the guide and press ENTER to go into channel view. But still, I need more examples how you want to look it like. What should it do and what keypress? Fire up gimp and give me ideas. Webserver: don't know, I guess it's also broken, let's wait until Rob updated the recordserver. Is it broken? Well, I looked at it a long time ago, but it was a pure hack (see optimizations done by Tack, to fix some hacks). We should instead use some page templates to separate the control from the view. But I don't think I'll go in this area since I don't use it and it's boring to do the conversion (although easy). Rob and I broke the channel design. The webserver itself may be working, but I don't know about the epg. All tv/egp* files are gone now so this may be a problem. I have a bunch of ideas and I'll play with gimp as soon as I go home (monday). Cool! Even people withot programming skills, send pics!

[Freevo-devel] Re: further removing pygame dependency
Rob Shortt wrote: In src/eveny.py we do import pygame.locals as key and setup DEFAULT_KEYMAP as a dictionary keyed by lots of key.* members. Inside freevo_config.py we do KEYMAP = DEFAULT_KEYMAP and access this elsewhere as config.KEYMAP. I would like to remove the pygame reference from src/event.py and therefore rearrange where DEFAULT_KEYMAP and KEYMAP are defined. In rc.py there is a class for attaching keyboard callbacks but I don't think that is a good spot for it either. The only other pygame code is in src/gui/ but that is for display right? Well, the keyboard callback for pygame is actually attached there. I don't really know what should be done here. Dischi, perhaps you already have plans for this? No, I'm not sure were the keyboard stuff could go. We need pygame only to get the keycode mappings. Not very good. Other backends like ivtv or bmovl2 don't even have keyboard support. Right now, the keyboard ocde in rc.py is only a dummy and should be moved to a different position. It should be the following code: when you activate a display engine like pygame, it should be able to send inputs like keys to the eventhandler. Other displays may do the same, other don't do it (because they don't support keyboards). The big questions here: were to define the keymap? We could define the keymap inside sdl.py, but if pydfb also supports keyboard input, you need to define the map twice. But if we add pygame.locals to event and/or main, we get into problems. I have no idea for a good solution to solve this. Also it should be possible for the user in his local_conf.py to redefine keyboard control. Maybe define a key code table of our own? -Make a src/input/ directory and abstract the input sources there, similar to how src/gui/displays abstracts the display. -Make all input come from plugins: input_pygame, input_lirc, input_evdev, input_mouse (lol), input_pydfb, input_kb (direct kb interface without pygame perhaps). Don't know, the keyboard control is bound to the display. You couldn't use pygame keyboard + ivtv display or dfb keyboard + pygame. -just move the pygame input into the sdl display module, if you're not using pygame then input will come from a plugin (evdev, lirc, etc), ie: still use other plugins for input.

The next thing I want to fix is the detach plugin and the detachbar. And the mplayervis plugin is completly broken, someone has to fix this. I heard you want to go to libvisual, this sounds great. Keep in mind that we don't use pygame anymore so you need to render in an imlib2 image. Contact me if you have questions about the integration. And feel free to fix a plugin in the audio dir. I've already started working on a new detached player view. There is a bug when trying to detach, the screen is dimmed to black and focus is still on the player for one more event. You can regsiter to a screen change like the idlebar to get information about if a dim animation is running. It also exits when the currently playing song finishes. With the new Application code I'm uncertain on how to fix this, but I'll take a look. The new code should make it easier. Again, you can register to application changes. By that, you get an event that the audio player is gone and you see that music is still running. What I would like for the new detached player view, is a dedicated placeholder defined by the skin, which could be hidden when a fullscreen app like the imageviewer takes control over the screen. Take a look at the idlebar. The new event gives you also notification if the new starting app wants to be fullscreen (video, image) or not (menu, audio). The problem with this is that it might take up valuable screen space when it's not in use. Any good ideas? Maybe use the zindex to draw it in the bg somewhere - but where to put it so it doesn't get obfuscated by text or images drawn above it? I was thinking about using the idlebar. Since you fixed the plugins (Thanks BTW, I will add it to cvs when I fixed some stuff here), you know a plugin returns the width it uses. So when no music is playing, return 0 (you don't draw), when music starts, force an update of the idlebar, return your needed width and than you can update the audio status without calling a global idlebar update (just change your gui objects and call update() for the display). Further, I would like to have some dedicated events for controlling the detached player - so one could control it with remotes that has own buttons for this. It should be pretty easy to do, but I would like to do it more proper than my last hackish attempt to do it. Any pointers? Bad hack: add events for it. The user can set the events to buttons. Or you can just create one event and popup a box with the next choices. Maybe we need more-than-one-key events (like Emacs). Such as pressing 1 1 makes event x, 1 2 event y. In terms of code: button 1 chnages the key context for the next button (with a timeout). I'm also interested in trying to get libvisual working. But as my C-skills leaves much to be desired, don't expect too much ( eg. pygoom :). I'm also pretty busy with school, so I don't know if I'll ever get the time. As for the mplayervis, I don't see much point in fixing pygoom when libvisual seems to be a much more appropriate solution for the next release anyway. libvisual should draw into a imlib2 image.

[Freevo-devel] switching to pynotifier and pymbus
Hi, some already know because I told it on IRC, but here the official request for discussion: I don't like twisted. Why? It's a huge monster, including not only stuff we need like xmlrpc and a web server but also stuff we don't need and a main loop that is too complex. I saw in the code that it waits for dead children not started by any part of twisted .. Hey, that are my children, don't touch them! The next problem is, that we have one xmlrpc server in the recordserver. But when the schedule changes, Freevo has to ask the recordserver for a new schedule, the recordserver can't send it to Freevo because a) freevo has no xmlrpc port and b) if you have more than one freevo, how should the server know that? And we need a way to send stuff to Freevo, like the webserver may want to say 'start this audio playlist please'. A solution to all this (and more): we use pymbus. Mbus is a protcol for host or link local communication. As the name says, it's a bus. So every programm on the bus can get the messages (you can also send a message directly). For detailed information, please look at http://www.mbus.org. A brief summary: o mbus is secure, it uses encryption on the bus. o mbus is plain ascii (after decrypted), so every app with the key can read it very easy and apps like mspy can be used for debugging and apps like mbussh can be used to send commands to an app o you get notice when an app joins / leaves the bus o you can define names for apps so you understand what they do o you have events _and_ client server rpc communiaction. o Bindings for C/C++/Perl/Python Example: Freevo starts, joins the bus and ask: Freevo: I need recording informations. Anyone here can provide them? Case a: recordserver is running: RS: sure, I'm a recordserver, I can record dvb and analog. Here is my current schedule. Case b: no recordserver, Freevo still has no schedule and will never aks again. When the recordserver starts: RS: Hi, I'm a recordserver, here is my schedule. Freevo knows there is a recordserver with the name RS on the bus and the user wants to schedule something. Freevo-RS (unicast): RS, please record xy RS no everyone: my schedule changes: here is a new schedule RS-Freevo: done! Next is the webserver knowing that Freevo is running: WS-Freevo: please play playlist xy You have an isdn watcher and a new call comes in. It doesn't know about Freevo at all: ISDN: in case someone wants to know this: the telephone is rinning. A special Freevo plugin notice that and mutes the background audio playback. And we can also remove the bad hacked network interface, you can send events directly to Freevo: app-Freevo: Button 'DISPLAY' is pressed or app-Freevo: Event(OSD_MESSAGE, arg='hi') That's what mbus can do, and much more. Read the rfc on mbus if you want to know more. The second lib pynotifier is a simple (!) main loop. The author of pynotifier and the current maintainer of pymbus (also using Freevo) also has a simple webserver and non blocking http client. So, there is no need for twisted, mbus is the future[1]. And the author of pynotifier will include pynotifier in Freevo when he has a free weekend. Comments? Someone with a good argument against it? Dischi Footnotes: [1] I better say it before you find out yourself: mbus was developed at the UCL in London and the University of Bremen.

You could register/unregister a control in eventhandler.py and a button toggles these by doing: 1) show it (set visible in the CanvasContainer) 2) set self.context to it And toggle should toggle through all registered controls and than back to the normal, the focused app. Maybe toggle is intelligent: if a used used a control, the next toggle will go back to no controls.

About the changes: - Removed detachbar.py - Merged new detachbar with detach.py (detachbar is shown based on a plugin activation argument). It no longer shows up in the menu, instead it utilizes the new controlmanager. Good. I changed some stuff in the eventhandler so that you don't need to show() the menuw. By calling p.hide(), the eventhandler know sees that no application has the focus and set the focus to the last application below p. - Added a new class ControlManager for managing different controls. The class basicly listens to TOGGLE_CONTROL events and shows/hides the registered controls. (better naming for this class?) Nice, very nice. Maybe not use the osd for displaying the text but draw it just below the control box? And handling it as popup box is exactly the way to go. - Added ButtonPanel as an example for use with the ControlManager, this is also the one I use to create the audio detached control.

[Freevo-devel] recordserver bugfix question
Hi,
I just made two fixes to the recordserver I want you to prove read
before I check it in. I don't know the code very well.
1. I have a favorite at 8:55 p.m. every day. It's a small thing. When
I want to record something important from 8 p.m. to let's say 10
p.m., I need to remove the favorite. But I can't, every time I run
the tv_grab helper (crontab), it gets re-inserted. That bug can't
be fixed in 1.5.1, it would break too much. But I had a better
idea: right now we check: if something is running, kill it, start
new recording. Now I guess: if something is running and something
new comes up, check favorite. If the new one is a favorite and the
running is not, the running wins because the user added it, not a
script. The favorite will not kill the running, it will be
ignored. Comments on that please.
2. The second is a very bad bug: I can't have a favorite at every
Sunday (or every other day != ANY), it will not be updated. I use
Freevo, not the webserver to set the favorite. After some digging I
found the problem: When comparing prog with favorite, the day looks
equal on debug, but one time it's an int, the other is a
string. int(5) != str(5). You can't imagine how cranky co-workers
can when they can't record 'Bernd das Brot' :)
Please verify my bug patch. Since 2 it's a bad problem and 1 makes me
crasy, I guess we should schedule a 1.5.2 release.

[Freevo-devel] Popup status
Hi, I just checked in some work on the popup boxes. Hey, this code was a mess, changed about 4 times and had a lot of all stuff in it. So this is how it works: o There is Window.py containing some basic stuff for windows on the screen. You can set x,y,width,height if you like. o For all windows we have right now is PopupBox.py. It contains a basic popup box with a label and optional a row with controls (needed by AlertBox and friends). You can't set x,y,width,height here, it's dynamic. The box will be as big as it needs to be. Besides: we never set x,y,height before and width only for larger boxes because the old code could only grow vertical. o AlertBox and ConfirmBox inherit from PopupBox. THERE IS NO LAYOUTMANAGER as before, so the boxes need to layout themself. Since a PopupBox has an optional row below the text, these two boxes need no special layout. o ProgressBox and InputBox are broken right now but they will work like AlertBox and ConfirmBox (label and below that the progress bar or the input area). That should cover all boxes we need. There are other boxes in the widget dir, like ScrollBox and ListBox. Where do we need them? I also so some boxes in tv (EditFav), but do we still use them? If not, we should delete the code, I don't waste time fixing boxes we don't need. Dischi -- As I said before, I never repeat myself. pgpgxXNvkiteA.pgp Description: PGP signature
[Freevo-devel] Freevo coding guidelines (please read)
Hi, I guess it's time to set some basic coding guidelines for Freevo. It will be easier for other people to read the code if we have some basic guidelines. Most of them are taking from the basic python guidelines. After some discussion about this, please change files to this guidelines. E.g. you change a file or fix a bug, please check the file for the guidelines and fix this, too. The files I touched the last weeks (image, audio code) respect most of the guidelines now. 1. All files have a header. I wrote a mail about my new header proposal. This header must include: a only line description, a longer description what this file does and how it interacts with others, a name of a maintainer. 2. More code doc. Each class must have a doc string, explaining the purpose of the class. Some for functions, also describing the paranmeter and the return values. No exceptions (not even eventhandler()). One exception: after a class description, __init__ only needs paranmeter description. 3. And even more doc: add comments inside the code what you are doing here. Some days ago I came across a 'if instance(self.parent, str)' and I wondered: how can this be? So more docs. Also document stuff like now we build xy and add xy to z. And for 'if foo' in the line _after_ the if now we handle foo by doing bar. 4. Max line width is 80 chars, no more. It should be readable in a simple xterm. Indention is 4 chars. If you need a longer line, you should think of using a) a helper variable or b) move some code to an extra function. 5. All variables/classes except tmp vars have clear names. Use file_dir, not fd or d. 6. Config variables and constants are upper case, use an underline char to split words for betetr reading. So FOO, FOOBAR or FOO_BAR. Config variables also contain the code were they are used like AUDIO_MPLAYER_FOO is foo for audio, the mplayer plugin. 7. Other variables and functions are lowercase. To split words here also use _, not a capital letter. E.g.: foo, foobar, foo_bar, not Foo, fooBar. 8. Classes start with an uppercase char, followed by lowercase. To split words, use a capital letter, no _. E.g. Foo, Foobar or FooBar, not Foo_bar or Foo_Bar. 9. Filenames are similar to variables/functions, no upper case letters. 10. Some people like ( x , y ), others prefer (x, y), so do what you want here, both is ok. 11. To make code readable, add an empty lines between blocks. Add two empty lines between functions. Comments please! Dischi -- System going down at 1:45 this afternoon for disk crashing. pgpdjIEX1vgQe.pgp Description: PGP signature

[Freevo-devel] Main-Loop changes (please read)
Hi, I got a patch tpday I was waiting for some time now, it uses pyNotifier as a main loop and removes the rc.py stuff. So there are some changes now you need to keep in mind. First of all: why? The rc.py stuff was a bad hack, you could only add timer to get called. So plugins like the event input from Rob polled the socket. That's bad. The new notifier supports timer _and_ sockets. You can now register a socket and you get called when something is on that socket. We will need this for using mbus in the near future. Important note: we need to keep the main loop alive. A function should do it stuff non blocking, if we do too much, the main loop won't be able to react on sockets / timer. Example: remove a mmpython.cache file in a dir with many items, use 1.5.1 and rescan. While rescanning, move a window above the freevo window and back again. You see that pygame doesn't update. That's because the pygame poll function isn't called while we scan. With the new cvs code, I keep the main loop alive and you see the window update again. So what you must do to keep the loop alive: when you can't return to the main loop but you are doing something, call notifier.step from time to time. Use the parameter False, False here to prevent Freevo From handling Events and the notifier from waiting (sleep) until something happens. Our main problem is now the downloading of stuff (e.g. imdb or amazon cover search). There will be a non blocking version of a http client the next days, you should use this one. More good news: as a side effect of the changes we now have keyboard input when using imlib2 display (so no need for pygame anymore when you use X). There are also no threads in childapp anymore (remember, keep the main loop alive or mplayer will stop playing). The last thread in rom_drives will be gone soon. One last note: the latest release of pyNotifier on mbus.org doesn't work for us. You can get the latest version from http://www.crunchy-home.de/download. You will find tgz and rpm files here.

Look at listing_area.py. For thumbnail listing (image view) the area loads the next menu in background using the notifier callback. One image at a time to make sure it won't stop freevo. 3 is bad, I guess it will be too slow. But maybe combine 2 and 3 like the listing. Get the complete data on guide startup (should be fast), create items for the needed ones and load the next page in each direction in background. -do we still need to create an index of the list of ProgramItems for faster access? No, it was a hack for the tv guide for faster access. I don't think we still need it. -how should we deal with empy data and gaps?

[Freevo-devel] RFC: remove some config variables
Hi, I'm thinking about removing some config variables. The variables I'm thinking of are: LOCALE, OVERLAY_DIR and FREEVO_CACHEDIR. Why? Because I want to make some files in util independ of Freevo so they can be used outside Freevo. Some modules only depend only Freevo because of config with the variables above. LOCALE: The reason we need this is because the Python unicode default sucks. I don't know why 'ascii' is the default encoding and I'm not allowed to change that. That's why we need our Unicode and String wrapper functions. So I suggest a file called encoding.py containing Unicode and String and they use default settings from the system locale settings with latin-1 as fallback. So the util modules only need to depend on this, not the whole Freevo package. FREEVO_CACHEDIR: Why should the user change that. I suggest the default to be /var/cache/freevo with a fallback to ~/.freevo/cache if the user has no write permissions. The databases should go to /var/lib/freevo with the fallback being ~/.freevo/lib. OVERLAY_DIR: Some utils depend on the vfs, so I want a default here, too. I guess ~/.freevo/vfs sounds good here. If the user doesn't like it (like I myself), he could use a softlink to a better place. Comments please. Dischi -- Drinking coffee for instant relaxation?

How about adding a /var/xxx/ alternative to this one as well? I think it might be worth using Freevo specific environment variables for things like FREEVO_CACHEDIR and OVERLAY_DIR.

[Freevo-devel] Re: screen redraw
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, freevo development newbie here. Hi I want to edit some configuration variables on the fly. Cool. I've made a menu structure (which works), and in a MenuItem, called a class to display an InputBox (which works). However, when I hit enter on the InputBox, it doesn't disappear. It does lose focus and I can move back up the menu structure, but when I come back down, the InputBox is still displayed. That's strange. There is a self.destroy() in the code for enter. Is there anyway I can force the screen to redraw? the functions menuw.redraw(), menuw.rebuild_page(), menuw.refresh(1), menuw.show() don't seem to do the trick. menuw.hide(clear=True) and then menuw.show() does rebuild the page, but then I get an annoying black screen flicker. That's only a baf hack. You can set force_redraw (or similar) in the skin. But that is not they way it should work. Is there a simple answer or should I just post what code I have? Better post the code so I can take a look. Dischi -- Backup not found! A)bort, R)etry or P)anic? pgpEPpuM5iQkN.pgp Description: PGP signature

I've removed it. Something is still there. I hope I will have time to look at it. If the guides is always very small (only the needed stuff in memory), it is easier for the tvlisting area to display it and we need no index stuff at all. -These default ProgramItems get highlighted together, if they're one on top of the other at least. This probably has to do with the cmp function of ProgramItem. Works for me. Dischi -- Error 13: Illegal brain function. Process terminated. pgpBSkSAPf8Qt.pgp Description: PGP signature
