Looks like a kaa.base error, I think this may have been resolved
recently.
Not fixed in git as of today. A quick glance at the code suggests that
this chunk of code assumes IPv6 somehow. I have a ipv4 only system
(kernel w/ CONFIG_IPV6 not set). Do I _have_ to enable v6 to get this to
work? (Being a c guy, I know there are version independent c socket
interfaces. I would assume the same holds for python. How come version
specific coding here?)

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 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.
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.
3) What about the epg? It's now all empty. Any guides as to what
(re)configuration one has to do? (analog tv)

[Freevo-users] pm-suspend and (auto)shutdown
Hi, I'd like to get freevo to suspend my machine when it's not in use. It seems the autoshutdown plugin is able to kick in at the right times, _but_ it kills freevo while at it. Effectively, setting SYS_SHUTDOWN_CMD = sudo pm-suspend makes freevo shutdown itself and then supend the machine; when it resumes, freevo is no more. Any ideas how I can get freevo to just call pm-suspend when the time is ripe, and refrain from closing up shop? -Anders -- 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

Re: [Freevo-users] player for streaming
morte...@ifi.uio.no said: Interesting idea. I'd be very interested to hear your results, Well, so far all diappointments come from freevo, I'm sorry to say. I decided to go wmv, after having googled up a solution (there is a -playlist uri way to start mplayer which fixes the looping). On the freevo side, however, I'm unable to find a way to tell it to add -playlist at the last argument before the uri in the mplayer command line. There is something called playlists/ referred to in various freevo howtos, but they all differ in the exact format to use in the fxd. To make matters even more confused, the video/plugins/mplayer.py file has handling for something called playlists in fxds, _but_ its implementation is a -playlist argument in the middle of the mplayer command line (and that makes mplayer error out). I'm currently at a loss for understanding the fxd format (is there an authoritative DTD somewhere? All I've found is fragments). Judging from the source, I'm inclined to believe that asx playlist handling (i.e. -playlist uri) is unsupported by freevo. I just might end up hacking the source to add this feature myself one day. The actual screen scraping of the site is done. I have 3 10-line perl scripts which creates ~500 fxd files. I just need to convince freevo to do the right thing with the fxds. -Anders -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Freevo-users] player for streaming
I'm currently writing a script to write fxd files for all of http://svtplay.se/ . The site exposes the media in wmv and flash formats and I wonder how I can best tell freevo to stream the media. For whatever reasn mplayer dislikes the wmv files (starts looping), so I'm looking at using the flash. That in turn requires someting like rtmpdump -o - -r $URI | mplayer - Any ideas how I can fixup the fxd and/or local_conf.py to do this? My reading of local_conf.py suggests that player selection is based on file name extension, and this a URI (without flv extension). -Anders -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Freevo-users] Firefox using remote control
Slightly off topic, but I guess this is where the experts sit. I've created a menu entry to start firefox, but I cannot find a good way to control it. I envision that the preferred mode is lynx mode, i.e. you're able to move around between the clickable items using LEFT/RIGHT UP/DOWN on the remote and you don't have a freely moving mouse pointer. I expect this mode of operation to be faster than juggling a mouse pointer with the remote. Anyone know if FF can be configured for this? Secondly, I'm at a loss for configuring the .lircrc file for this. I've tried to do mouse emulation using lircmd (and ff gets the events ok), but they get fed to freevo too, which makes navigating the menu system impossible (double events etc). If any you can share success stories on this, I'd be grateful. -Anders -- Come build with us!

Re: [Freevo-users] freevo multi-seat config, booting into freevo
dan...@pocock.com.au said: I've added some notes to the wiki about how I boot into freevo (using a gdm Init script), and also how I'm using a multi-seat configuration: http://doc.freevo.org/BootFreevo Any feedback on either of these topics or the scripts I've provided would be welcome. As I've been looking into this recently, I appreciate the writeup. However, it doesn't speak about runing freevo as non-root. This is rather critical imho, as it's a big chunk of code, forking lots of other stuff. I hope you agree. I was looking into using start-stop-daemon to exec the recordserver and webserver as a dedicated user, but got stuck. It seems s-s-d assumes that a daemon instance can be identified by its binary's name, but in freevo's case that's python, and the rest is just arguments with no meaning to s-s-d. freevo5300 14.3 0.6 24716 12652 pts/1D19:51 0:00 python /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/helpers/webserver.py freevo5305 14.3 0.6 25332 13008 pts/1D19:51 0:00 python /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/helpers/recordserver.py s-s-d also supports handling daemons by checking their pids, but afaict we don't generate pid files. :-( It also seems that freevo relies on stuff being set in the environment (HOME and/or USER, afaict), and that's somewhat untraditional for damons. I can certainly see the case for it when running interactively though. Is there any way I've not discovered to control the webserver and recordserver from init.d scripts, like traditional daemons?

Re: [Freevo-users] freevo as MyTube?

Flowplayer list flv and mp4 files as supported. with mpeg4 and h264 as supported codecs. I was kind of hoping that (flv) encoded versions of the streams could live in a $cache directoy somewhere, and either be prepared in advance (e.g. post recording job), or on demand.

Click on the link it opens a page with the embedded flash. Sounds simple enough. However, that list of files would need its own prettifying to look good, incl the info you get in the fxd, to be useful.

Forgot this part, ehi...@gmail.com said: Targeting Cell-phones is going to need some serious small stream or flash. The problem with something encoding to adapt to bandwidth is that the image quality would have to fluctuate and that would be a terrible viewing experience: bigger pipe, better quality; smaller pipe, lower quality. This is also a reason cell-phone video is both small and often crappy. It's not unusual to get 300kbps on 3G around here. I've encoded tv shows down to 300kbps and regularly play them back on my cellphone with acceptable experience (eg. you can read the subtitles).
