No there isn't likely to be a stable release you can assume that the b2 release is the final release. The reason for asking is that Arch Linux has 1.9.0 in their repos because there is no 1.9.2 release. The maintainer is asking now if there are any bugs in 1.9.2b2 so he should stick with 1.9.0 [1] I've not seen any major issues reported for the beta, and I've been running it for over a year now.

Hi,
I recently took the step to upgrade from 1.9.0 to freevo1-git. Three
issues encountered so far.
1) The Manage Recordings folder shows only some of the files in my /
media/tv directory. It used to show all files. I have a habit
of just dropping 'stuff I receive' in that folder for later viewing and
no
that doesn't work any more. I have hunch that might be because
those files lack fxd metadata (they never will have fxds).
Well the RecordingsManager plugin has been altered in that regard, but I
would add that the scenario you describe isn't the way it is designed to
work so I wouldn't say it will work without issue
Ok. Fair enough. Any chance it can be made to pick up stuff as it
appears, or is the directory to be considered 'managed' territory
in the future?
The directory will be managed in future, although there is still likely to be
.fxd files created, these won't be used to populate the recording manager list.
The reason for this is that the primary purpose of the Recordings
Manager is taking a flat structure generated by the recordserver and
giving it some structure.
The one thing that got me hooked in freevo (vs mythtv when I got
my htpc) was the transparency it gave when comparing the its view
of the world with what I could see myself with a simple 'ls' and 'cat'.
Entrusting mythtv's sqldb with all my metadata was not really an
appealing prospect.
I did write a v small plugin a while ago to display a 'Downloaded TV' option in
the TV menu which was a just another way to browse a different directory
contain downloaded TV content.
Plus you always have the option of auto generating the .fxd files for
your content when you add them to the directory.
2) I have subdirs in my /media/tv. Now none of them are shown in the
menu.
Shown where? Not sure what you are saying here?
The Manage Recordings menu. Whenever I get a batch of avi:s from
somewhere, I place them in a folder (mkdir, cp), to be viewed like any
other show.
Your best option here is to create the fxd files (should be reasonably
easy to auto generate, base on name of folder and file name). and add
them to the TV recordings folder in a flat structure. The important
thing to note is that the video files don't have to be in the same
directory as the .fxd files, so you can leave your video files in the
folder you downloaded them to but still access them from the recordings
manager.
3) What about the epg? It's now all empty. Any guides as to what
(re)configuration one has to do? (analog tv)
freevo1-git now uses kaa-epg and to access the guide you need to be
running the recordserver.
Hmm, now I see that it doesn't start ok;

Nope you haven't not yet, the fact that you are stilling seeing the 'Tuning'
message means that no packets have yet been captured.
See my other mail on hopefully solving this..
2. I tried recording with the generic record plugin but it doesn't send
a tuning sequence of commands.
I get a fxd file created but not even an empty file for the record.
I've tried a few commands for vlc and mplayer that might have worked.
With the generic record plugin you need to specify a script to run that
will do the recording. The script gets passed a whole load of parameters
(configured by local_conf.py). You need to in that script use the
hdhomerun config program to configure the device and then capture the
stream.
Anyone got any further suggestions??
I've attached a knocked together a HDHomeRun recording plugin, drop this
into the freevo/tv/plugins directory under the python library directory
where freevo was installed (something
like /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/freevo/tv/plugins).
Then use this plugin instead of the generic record plugin.
Hopefully it should do everything that is required to record from the
HDHomeRun. If it works I'll drop it into the main repo.
Cheers

Hmm looks to me like the adapter didn't tune before the timeout so the
capture wasn't started (hence the Not yet started). I didn't spend a lot
of time on the EPG capture for v2 as I don't use it (more a proof of
concept). It needs some work to make it stable, although it did seem to
retrieve some data when I ran it against my system here in the UK.
You could manually try tuning to a channel, starting EPG capture with
epgcapstart and then see if you get any data by using the epgdata command
(note this won't close the connection it will just keep spewing data/
pause indefinitely).
Cheers
Adam

sorry Manuel I saw your post but I'd been too busy to respond.
Two months ago, I had to switch to dvbstreamer 2.0 which basically works
perfectly with my current freevo setup.
The only thing missing is EPG now. In dvbstreamer 1.2, I got the EPG
over the air with a little modified version of the example on the
dvbstreamer wiki. Well, this doesn't work anymore (as I expected). So I
got the new python bindings and found getepg.
After removing one transponder that can't be tuned in (- infos missing,
only .. was there) manually from the sqlite database, getepg
get's a little further, but still no joy:

fine.
Yes it should work.

This sounds like a case were improving mminfo makes more sense than breaking a generally useful system. If the dev's know what dvds break things then they can look for ways to identify badly formed disks and compensate for it. I've looked into the problem before and IIRC it is a problem in the decss library which causes it to chew lots of memory and CPU until eventually the scheduler kills it. From reading threads out there it seems that this is deliberate targeting of the library by the big studios to build disks that will play fine in a dvd player but blow up when you try to use the usual decss techniques on them. I'll see if I can get an example of disks that don't work, I think Cars from Disney is a good example (and my son's favourite DVD so the most annoying one!) but I will double check and reply with some that I know don't work. TBH I may simply abandon DVD playback via Freevo all together, the new network attached blu-ray players are very tempting as they will be able to stream content directly from my NAS and will upgrade my DVD playback to Blu-ray. That will mean I can have an even smaller Freevo system as DVD drive will no longer be required. Hmmm, interesting Disney do seem to add a lot more copy protection than other publishers. Still, I've managed to play all the Disney DVDs we've got, including recent ones like Tangled, ok. On the DVD playback side in general, I really must find some time to add a VLC based DVD player to Freevo to allow Title/Chapter/Time based bookmarks and resume (something my old dvd player circa '02 could do).

The best thing for me in Freevo (1) is the use of multiple separate programs, especially its use of mplayer. XBMC looks very flash, but configuring and actually using it is a pain IMO. It's very much style over substance. I tried it for a bit but got fed up and went back to Freevo.

Looks like the user uploaded videos don't use RTMPE for distribution (that is is Encryption) so they appear to work just fine. But the big players that use youtube do use RTMPE and it looks like youtube just upgraded to a new RTMPE handshaking protocol which at the moment rtmpdump doesn't support. So the current approach won't work for these videos until rtmpdump is updated. I am toying with an idea to resolve this though, using uzbl (a bare bones web browser which allows access to javascript from outside) and a custom flash player. Which brings me to a question does anyone on this list have experience with flash players or know of an open source flash player which allows access through javascript? The idea being to construct a web page on the fly that points to the youtube RTMP stream and use flash to display the video. Although this means more CPU usage it does mean that we would get seeking and no more problems with flash protocol changes Cheers Adam -- Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users

Nothing wrong here, but I suspect that Freevo is not detecting the disc

[Freevo-users] Freevo 1.9.2 Beta 2 Release (plus ...)
Actually three releases to announce, first off the 2nd beta of the 1.9.2 release is now available from souceforge. Lots of bug fixes and some UI improvements have been included in this release. Some notable points are: * CPU Usage has dropped considerably, now around 2 - 3% when idle * LIRC handling improvements. * by default the playlists plugin is now enabled allow you to create audio playlists from within Freevo. Please try this out and report any bugs you find to the tracker ( https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=46652atid=446895 ) Next up is a new release (2.1.0) of dvbstreamer, minor bug fixes mainly. Finally a new release of livepause (1.1) which now uses memmap to write and read the buffered data from disk, reducing the constant disk io. (both available from the dvbstreamer project page on sourceforge) Cheers Adam -- What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users

Well than, I would like to wait for v2. Could you explain in brief, what the current status of v2 is? I could use the time to get in touch with freevo v2.0. (Architecture, Configuration, ..). Probably I could contribute. Best way to describe v2.0 is in development Coming along nicely but still a way to go before it will be ready. A Shared (NFS) file system is what I use for both recorded and ripped content. Does freevo v2 utilize some streaming libs? Or is it planned? Freevo currently doesn't do this, let me clarify that slightly, well it can do it if you are receiving digit tv and use dvbstreamer, but you'll likely need 1 tuner per client and 1 for recording. Freevo can do livepause on a client without a tv tuner if you either use dvbstreamer (and the livepause app) or use the livepauseserver (again needs livepause) helper with an ivtv card. Thanks for pointing to dvbstreamer. I have downloaded 2.0.0, but it does not compile [1]. Ahh, odd mind you its been so long since I uploaded that, try using the 2.1.0 release that I've just uploaded with this and several other fixes. Does dvbstreamer support DVB-S multiplexing? I mean tuning one DVB card to a transponder and getting multiple streams from it? Exactly you can extract any number of services from a single transponder. I did not find any docs about livepause. I assume it uses dvbstreamer to get the stream and writes it to a tempfile, from which it streams to the client, right? If yes, these two tools provide basic functionality for a _very_ coarse PVR - EPG data is also fetched. Livepause is from the same sourceforge project (I'm the developer of both), and yes that is exactly how it works in freevo 1.x [1] http://paste.debian.net/109538 To give an example, my recordserver is in the loft where the tv signal is less degraded and I have cat5 to my frontend in the living room. I use dvbstreamer to stream the digital tv to the frontend and also a second instance to record. The setup is similar to mine. My Server is in the cave equipped with three DVB-S cards, which serves 6 clients with TV and recordings. DVB-S multiplexing is also very usefull with that. I have 1GE to all rooms. Also streaming via wifi is possible (10Mbit/s for an average stream). As beeing a debian user I have to question, if you have in mind to make freevo v2 only runnable and supportable in conjunction with a special customized linux distribution? No absolutely not, I just use ubuntu for the ease of use and the fact that its more up-to-date than debian. I want to say I really do not intend to switch to ubuntu. Ok, it might be worth doing this for the server(s), but not for the clients. Clients are partly used for daily work.

MMS has some advantages over Freevo, namely the ability to create playlists through the interface, and then even save them. Its also way more stable and doesn't have the plethora of bugs that Freevo has. The CPU usage is way lower, probably because it is coded in C++. The user interface is well designed and easy to use. On the downside, MMS is not so configurable nor themeable, less extensible (Freevo has a big number of plugins, although many don't work), and there hasn't been any release since 2009, which makes me think that its either very mature or it dying. Interesting I've been using freevo for several years and haven't found that many bugs... If you do find bugs please report them otherwise there is no way we can fix them! I would add that although there has been no official release in a while there has been lots of work on svn and a beta before Christmas and another in a few weeks. One of the changes that the next beta will introduce is a significant drop in CPU usage. This will lead up to the last release of 1.x branch but that just means there will be more focus on 2.x.

When I hit ESC, the screen goes back to the last player view (i.e. last title played, time stopped at the last position). When hitting up / down, freevo returns to the correct directory view and reacts again as expected. [edit] Anything I'm missing here or should I fill in a bug report? I can confirm this one too... it's one I first noticed when audio podcasts would finish and I thought I had screwed something up when I made the podcast item inherit from Audioitem instead of just Item.. It was later I'd discover this wasn't the case and that it also affected playlists when they ended 'naturally'. It's been around for quite a while in SVN, from what I remember, I just haven't remembered to bring it up here on the list yet. And I can't blame anyone for missing it... I figure a lot of audio playing activity doesn't let a playlist end on its own, either because it's a live stream (I do those a lot) or the user decides to end the playback before the playlist is done. For me, once the playlist ends the Freevo goes back to the directory/menu view (LCD follows too) but it won't respond to commands. Pressing ESC has no visible effect, but now the menu responds. It's like the player view is deleted/destroyed, but control is never returned to the underlying menu until the user presses ESC. I'm pretty sure this doesn't happen when the player has been detached, only when the player view is on screen. This sounds like similar behaviour as the Image playlists are experiencing, ie they are both not working as expected. They will be on the hit list next after I've cleaned up a few things related to the change over to using kaa for everything now.

Re: [Freevo-users] Wonderful work everyone! (And first impressions of the latest SVN)
On Wed, 19 Jan 2011, James Trietsch wrote:
So for reasons I won't get into (complicated story, and probably
embarrassing too), despite SVN updates my files were being held back
because the old copies were considered my working copies and the current
revisions were being overwritten... I finally sat down today and
untangled the mess (thank you, revert command!) and fired it back up.
Some little growing pains (see below) but I got it going and all I can
say is:
Holy Smokes! It's looking sharp! Great job and many kudos to both the
developers and everyone out there running Freevo and testing it and
making suggestions. Maybe it's just because it's been so long since I've
seen an actual update, but this leap was huge.
Quick things that come to mind:
Biggest problem I had was the system exiting two seconds into playing
any audio, no traceback or anything. If I started audio and immediately
kicked it into the idlebar (pressing 'display'), it would play fine.
When I tried to 'Show Player', it finally coughed up a traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):

skin.draw('player', self.item, transition=transition)
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'transition' referenced before assignment
It would appear the definition of 'transition' is held inside an if
statement, although the skin.draw statement is not. When the if
statement is bypassed, 'transition' is never set. I fixed it by adding
'transition=None' before the if statement, but this may need to be
better fixed.
That is useful to know I was just about to start investigating that :-)
LOVE the new text entry screen, and I love the triple-tap shortcuts. I
just was a little thrown when it came time to enter the line after
triple-tapping it in. I pressed 'Enter', but since the selector was on
the 'A', it added an A to the entry box. Perhaps if the triple-tap is
used, the selector jumps to 'Search', so all you have to do is press
'Enter' to go?
I Like this idea I see what I can do
I also love the new shutdown screen with the colorful icons. The option
to reboot is very welcome! However, I think it needs a more obvious
'Cancel'. I pressed 'Exit' thinking it meant exit the dialog box...
oops! I know now I can use escape to get out of it, but that's not
immediately apparent. Perhaps under the three buttons have a long bar
for 'Cancel'?
Hmm, I've always wondered about my decision not to add a cancel button,
And speaking of 'Exit', is there an option to get rid of that button for
those of us with stand-alone dedicated Freevos? On my box, pressing
'Exit' will drop you to a terminal window (on the TV) full of leftover
log information and the only way to restart it is to power cycle or ssh
in and restart the front-end service. For me, better to just have 'Power
Off' and 'Reboot'.
I've used cancel to allow me to restart the freevo interface by adding a
while loop in the shell script that start freevo, means I can easily
restart the interface without waiting for the whole system to reboot.
Can you raise a feature request for this on the tracker.
Tried out the Category Search... I really like it, but I think it needs
some kind of indicator when there's more than one episode for a listed
show. Obviously you should select a category to find shows, but I
couldn't figure out why some shows immediately displayed information and
some didn't... until I selected one that didn't have any info and found
the whole submenu of episodes. Again, something that isn't immediately
obvious. I'm not sure how to do it yet (perhaps something like the icons
in the Recordings Manager, or display episode names in the info area,
also like RM?) but it's something to consider.
Again another good idea ...
Finally, and this is purely aesthetics... the new dialog boxes look a
little strange. I think it's because they have lightweight borders (one
pixel?) and light font weights, when the rest of my interface (Blurr)
has heavy borders and bolder fonts. It just doesn't look like it

Can you raise a feature request for this on the tracker. Hey, now that's a neat idea I never thought about. Granted, usually when I need to restart the interface, I'm either already hacking on it (so I'm logged in) or it's crashed/wedged so bad I can't get back to the main menu through the interface. I'm just thinking out loud here, but wouldn't it be interesting to have a hidden 'restart interface' button, like the 'hibernate' option in Windows XP? XP normally shows 'Standby', 'Shutdown' and 'Restart'. But if you hold down shift, 'Standby' turns into 'Hibernate'. What if pressing Display while at the shutdown menu, 'Reboot' turned into 'Restart Interface'? Again, just thinking out loud here. ^_^ Try out the proper skin 'blurr' rather than my amateur he's what you can do with this base skin :-) Oh ho! 'Here's a quarter, go get yourself a real interface skin?' ^_^ I'm using Blurr, as selected through the interface. I checked and short of some local modifications I'm playing with, all the files in share/freevo/skins are up to date with SVN. Of course as I admitted in the last e-mail, things in my local copy got a bit wonky for a while. I'll back up my changes to the skin fxds and revert them and see if it changes anything. In the meantime, is there somewhere else I need to go to get this proper 'Blurr' skin? Or is it affected by something outside of share/freevo/skins? The dialog skins use completely different skin files than the main skin and at the moment the GUI can't select which dialog skin to use. To change the dialog skin you need to set a config variable ie DIALOG_SKIN_XML_FILE='blurr' Cheers Adam -- Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!

[Freevo-users] Freevo 1.9.2 Beta 1 available for download
Just in time for Christmas, I've upload the first beta of the 1.9.2 release. There has been lots of improvements and bug fixes since the last full release over a year an a half ago. A quick snapshot of some of the changes: * New improved graphical display when playing videos (requires kaa.display, recommended) * Improve IMDB support using imdbpy * Asynchronous loading of thumbnail images to improve browsing speed. * Updated Apple Trailers plugin * Updated Youtube plugin * Search screens now use mobile phone number style input. ...and lots more see the ChangeLog for full details. This is only a beta not the full release (which will come sometime early next year) so there may be some bugs but please do try it! Without input from the community I can't fix them as I can only tests so much and although I'm now running this on my main machine I sure I've missed something :-) I expect there to be some further improvements so there may well be a Beta 2 before the final release. Please feel free to submit further feature requests and bug reports. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!

This all looks fine.

no program information) and if
I select a channel the screen goes black with an empty progress bar and

Hmmm. this is the cause of the problem, DVBStreamer is reporting that the
service freevo asked to tune to doesn't exist.
Can you run dvbstreamer with -v and then send the log file direct to
me (~/.dvbstreamer/dvbstreamer-0.log). That should give me a clue whether
its DVBStreamer or freevo at fault here. By the way which version of
dvbstreamer are you using? I guess version 1.1?

Here is the log file obtained with -v option.
I started dvbstreamer with:
$dvbstreamer -a 0 -d -v
then I started Freevo and I tried to watch a channel without success.
Right I can see the reason for it not to work but I don't know why.
The select line being sent to dvbstreamer includes around the channel
name. DVBStreamer 1.x won't handle this correctly and will think it is
actually part of the channel name. Now I've checked the repository and
none of the code for Freevo 1.9.0 would add this to the channel name and
since the channel names in your example local_conf.py didn't include
this, it makes me think this is a debian fix.
I've just found the problem in the debian package, can you edit the file
in /usr/share/pyshared/freevo/tv/plugins/dvbstreamer/comms.py, change
line 88 from:
(errcode, errmsg, msg) = self.execute_command('select ' +

to:
(errcode, errmsg, msg) = self.execute_command('select ' +

and it should work correctly.

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo shuts down immediately after coming up
On Wed, June 16, 2010 7:39 pm, James Trietsch wrote: Eureka! The hat goes on the head! (Sorry, couldn't resist a quote from Futurama) I fixed the sporadic immediate shutdown issue. I had the good fortune of watching it crash right in front of me after finishing a recording. I checked a few things and found the filesystem was nearing capacity (again, the clean-out daemon runs under the GUI), so I deleted a few things and tried the GUI and it came up! A-ha! Long story short, every time the remaining free space fell under the deletion minimums, the GUI stopped working. I enlisted a host of print statements to narrow down where it was crashing and on what particular program entry. It was giving up trying to find the last-accessed time for a particular MPEG file. I went to check the file and found out I had an orphaned FXD! The FXD existed and was being put into the menu but the MPEG had somehow been removed. It was trying to find the last-accessed time for a nonexistent file. Why it was silently crashing, I'm not sure (unless it has to do with that process running as a daemon). I deleted the orphan FXD and everything is back to normal. It even cleaned up the directory back above space minimums. By the way, the check on last modified time is something I added myself (and haven't submitted yet) because I had run into trouble where if the Freevo was recording and ran out of space while you were watching a previously recorded show that happened to be the best candidate for deletion... it would delete it while you were watching. Or it would delete it right after you finished watching it, so you never got a chance to mark it to keep if you wanted to keep it. I put in some code that anything accessed in the last 5 minutes would not be put on the candidate list and it seems to work. But now I may need to add some error-trapping to it. Or something to look for orphaned FXDs and/or MPEGs couldn't hurt either. Interesting, an edge case I hadn't considered. I'm in the process of rewriting the Recording Manager as a UPnP Server and a client Plugin. This is to fix the problem of the GUI having to be active to clean up the disk if it gets full. At the moment I have a separate backend server running 24x7 and a frontend that is only on when needed, so I need a separate app running on the server to clean up the disk. Making it UPnP means it can export the recordings to XBMC/Myth/Or anything else that understands UPnP Content Directory Servers and means I don't have to mount the disk over NFS. I may steal your idea and add it to the server process to catch this edge case :-) Cheers Adam -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

Have you checked the logs for teh recordserver? Evan Yep. The logs indicate that it's there (no indication of it closing down). Ps reports that the fingered pid is still alive and kicking. How do people normally pull this off? I'm looking at having the *servers started by the normal init.d scripts and the freevo GUI process as a dedicated user (started from inittab). I'm had that (sort of) working on an old machine, but when setting up a new one I discovered that the init.d start/stop actions didn't work as expected. The way I've done it is to start the record server on one of the ttys using inittab this has several advantages for me. I can see any error messages that get output and I can use 'freevo recordserver --stop' to restart the recordserver (init automatically restarts it when it dies) if I want to change anything. On my frontend I use gdm to automatically log in to my freevo user and then put the things required to start freevo in .xsession. I had been using rc.local to start freevo but the gdm way is much prettier as I know don't get the startup messages output just a flashy splash screen, better WAF :-) . good luck Adam -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Actually, livepause plugin does support IVTV. You'll need the svn version of the livepause app (svn co https://dvbstreamer.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dvbstreamer/livepause/trunk) as the released version has a bug that can cause it to lock up if it looses sync with the stream generated by the ivtv card (due to another process using 100% cpu for example). To use the plugin make sure that the group_type in the VideoGroup settings is set to 'ivtv'. See the wiki or plugin information for more details on getting the plugin setup.

i have dvbstreamer 1.2 and livepause 1.0 installed. dvbstreamer may be
the
problem(?) as it won't run from the command line. it just segfaults and
the log says it wants an adapter. but, of course, the hdhomerun doesn't
have anything in /dev/dvb/adapter0... i've been scratching my head on
this one and can't find anything anywhere.
For HDHomeRun you don't need dvbstreamer (the app) as they both do the
same thing ie convert the TV signal to network packets. dvbstreamer is
only required when you have a DVB/ATSC card attached to the computer.
here is the livepause configuration info:
plugin.remove('tv.mplayer')
plugin.activate('tv.livepause')
# size and location of the livepause buffer (see docs for ram)
LIVE_PAUSE2_BUFFER_SIZE= 2048
LIVE_PAUSE2_BUFFER_PATH= '/bfd/freevo/tmp/live.buf'
LIVE_PAUSE2_PREFERRED_PLAYER = 'mplayer'
and the video group:
# 169.254.1.71 id 1018F7DC (or works)
TV_VIDEO_GROUPS = [
# Use this group for watching tv
VideoGroup(vdev='1018F7DC:0',
group_type='hdhomerun',
desc='Watching Video Group 1',
record_group=1,),
VideoGroup(vdev='1018F7DC:1',
group_type='hdhomerun',
desc='Watching Video Group 2',
record_group=2),
]
This as you said is fine and works.
and the record config section:
# tag: hdhomerun
plugin.remove('tv.generic_record')
plugin_record = plugin.activate('tv.dvbstreamer.record')
ATV_RECORDFILE_SUFFIX = '.ts'
This bit is wrong, you don't want to be using the tv.dvbstreamer.record
plugin, you probably need to use the tv.generic_record plugin with a home
grown script to change the channel on the HDHomeRun and capture the UDP
packets to disk, perhaps using netcat might be the way to go here.
I've not used the generic_record plugin so I don't know what you will need
here, perhaps the wiki might have some more info on writing the script
(?!).
snip
i'm sure i've left out some information so please let me know if you would
like
anything else, or i can just post the whole config file if that would make
it
any easier.
a big thanks in advance for the help...

So are you say that when you stream manually to udp://localhost:1235 you can receive it with xine or vlc and it works fine? Try running the same steps manually and see how far you get. Start DVBStreamer in command line mode, In a second terminal start livepause and enter the following command: fill udp localhost:1235 Then in the first terminal select the channel and set the mrl: select VOX setmrl udp://localhost:1235 In the second terminal you should now see !Data Started Followed by every second: !Data Acquired If you don't then use the stats command in the dvbstreamer terminal to see if the service filter is processing anything.

Hi all!
I'm currently setting up a new freevo box. Everything quite fine so far,

old).

Using the instructions on running dvdstreamer from the dvbstreamer wiki,
I got a stream running over the network, which displayed fine on another
computer. So, DVB-T seems to be working ad dvbstreamer also.

If dvbstreamer is running on another box this would need to be
VideoGroup(vdev='hostname:0', group_type='dvb', desc='Watching Video

where hostname is either the name or IP address on which DVBStreamer
is running, if this is localhost then it can be left out (as here).
TV_CHANNELS = [
('2114.0305.4022', 'VOX', '2114.0305.4022'),
]
plugin.remove('tv.generic_record')
-- snip --
When I select the channel form the guide, I get to the screen which says
it is tuning to VOX and that's all. Nothing happens from there.
I went a bit through the code, but did not get to the point which class
should send the event that the tuning completed.

Odd if it wasn't connecting to DVBStreamer I would expect to see a trace
back. Try running dvbstreamer with more logging (add - to the
command line) and then check the log in ~/.dvbstreamer/dvbstreamer-0.log
livepause-stdout:
-- snip --
!! 0 Mode set to raw
!! 0 OK
!! 0 Started filler udp
!! 0 OK
-- snip --
No problems here, if it was working I would expect to see !Data started
line followed by !Data Acquired every second.
livepause-stderr is empty.
dvbstreamer has been started as the same user freevo is running:
dvbstreamer -a 0 -d
Any help appreciated.
Cheers and Happy New Year!

Hope this provides some leads, and Happy New Year to you to!

I haven't tested the patch yet, but thanks m0y! Here is the reference: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=2888365group_id=46652atid=446895 Ah, that is useful, again thanks m0y. If I understand correctly this patch is rev 11634, while the freevo-1.x repository (http://svn.freevo.org/listing.php?repname=Freevo+1.x;) stops at 11632. Is there some systematic way to see such proposed patches, or does one just check through the bug reports? The websvn is lying, the actual revision of the repo is 11637, I've run into this in the past as well. I believe (and I could be wrong here) that the websvn isn't working on the repo but a copy of it.
