Re: [Freevo-users] The future of Freevo(.org)
This is a sad day :( I used freevo for years but started using my TVs inbuilt dlna client when my last htpc died 3 years ago. It was a threadbare experience - but at least it didn't try to be too clever. I recently got a raspberry pi for xbmc, but I do miss freevo. It had the perfect mix of simplicity and features, my TVs dlna client is utterly braindead and xbmc tries to be too clever. Thanks for all your hard work Dirk! Dirk Meyer dis...@freevo.org wrote: Hi, I have no idea how many people still read this list, how many people still use Freevo 1.x, and how many people use 2.0 from git (I guess that is only me). I failed to get a release of Freevo 2 out. I changed too much, a complete rewrite and some parts are also written three or four times. My fault, I know -- an error made years ago and when noticed, it was too late to change it. And since I started a new job four years ago my time working on Freevo got smaller and smaller every month. Jason also is completely busy with his job. I still say Freevo 2 is ready to use, but I will not release it. I'm not sure it works with the latest clutter or gstreamer, I only know it works for me. It lacks many important features such as DVD playback (I have a BluRay Player) and TV recording. I do not need it and I don't have time to code it. Besides that, XBMC has a much bigger community, UPnP is enough for many people (even I use NAS + BubbleUPnP + TV sometimes) and new development such as Chromecast will reduce Freevo's usefulness even further. I will continue to use Freevo 2, I may even write an Android client for it (after learning Python with Freevo which was useful for getting my current job, hacking Android is a good next step), but I see no real future for Freevo without a live community and more people hacking code. If someone contributes something, I will add it. If someone needs help to get Freevo 2 running, I will provide it. Since we also lack someone maintaining the server we host and I do not want to pay for something we don't need, I will shut it down at the end of February. This means the SVN and the Wiki will be gone. If someone wants a backup of the Wiki please tell me. The code is already on github and will remain there. The mailing list on SF will continue and so will the mail server hosting freevo.org and all mail addresses will continue to be valid. Maybe after some time someone resurrects Freevo. I would love to pass the maintainership over to someone just as I took it over from Krister years ago. Maybe someone takes the kaa-stuff and writes something new and better. I'm happy to assist and I think the same is true for Jason. Maybe I will release something someday based on the current code. It was a great time, I learned a lot and it was much fun.

Check the mplayer log. I have 2 guesses. 1 you have kaa.display
installed, this will replace the standard mplayer OSD. try removing
that. Second guess, you are missing the font mplayer is looking for.
Evan
The log suggests that the font is found :
get_path('subfont.ttf') - '/home/jake/.mplayer/subfont.ttf'
Unicode font: 2976 glyphs.
This is a symlink to a default font I set up a while ago to fix another issue I
was having.
This may sound dumb, but how would I know if I have kaa.display installed? Why
would I have it installed? How would I get around it? If I do a locate :

Re: [Freevo-users] Mplayer and OSD
Oddly enough, I think I was having the same issue last night. You are missing a
symlink to a font, or have not compiled font-config suppport into freevo.
I started to use the svn mplayer about two weeks ago, compiled by hand. I was
watching an avi which should have had subtitles for 2 minutes in the middle of
the movie, but they just plain old didn't show.
Then, I noticed hitting the button o (which is supposed to Toggle OSD states
- showing time left to play etc ) didn't work either - the triangle showed up,
but the time didn't.
After reconfiguring freevo to debug child apps (DEBUG_CHILDAPP=1 in
local_conf.py - it changed from CHILDAPP_DEBUG=1 at some stage) I noticed
this in my logs :
j...@captainspaulding:/var/log/freevo$ cat mplayer-stderr-1000-1247381546.log
New_Face failed. Maybe the font path is wrong.
Please supply the text font file (~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf).
subtitle font: load_sub_face failed.
New_Face failed. Maybe the font path is wrong.
Please supply the text font file (~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf).
subtitle font: load_sub_face failed.
j...@captainspaulding:/var/log/freevo$
So, I picked a font and symlinked to it from ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf. I used :
subfont.ttf - /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf
The other option is to recompile mplayer with font config support. After you do
this, you may need to add this :
8
# get a default OSD font from fontconfig
fontconfig = yes
font = Sans
subfont-text-scale = 3
8

At the moment I am using an svn version of mplayer (but the aptitude

turn on at either
configure time or at run time that will let mplayer display the Freevo
OSD's? How do I debug this.
I don't even know what the OSD's look like for TV, can someone send me
a screenshot? Has anyone used mplayer for TV? Do you have the same issues?
(By the way, I have installed kaa.display, and I am using
DVBStreamer-LivePause-Mplayer ...)

Re: [Freevo-users] iPod support
I managed to get FUSEpod to go with only one issue on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty
Jackalope). You need to modify a file though. You need to add the line :
#include cstring
in the file
fusepod_util.h
before you compile it. Just chuck it underneath all the other includes.
Then I have it auto mount with a script I wrote, it mounts to ~/ipod. You can
configure it to have pretty much any directory structure you want! I have:
~/ipod/artist/album/tracknum - trackname.extention
~/ipod/album/artist - album/tracknum - trackname.extention
~/ipod/year/albumyear/artist - album/tracknum - trackname.extention

Hi All
I recently reinstalled my freevo machine (replaced gentoo with ubuntu),

Videos play properly (apart from dvds, they play in 16x9 but using the
4x3 width). I am using a 16x9 telly, at 1360x768 over a vga cable.
Also, how would one make it so a certain button on a remote zooms the
image in? I had a look at mplayer slave stuff, I have managed to make a
button change_subs, swicth_audio, and switch_ratio, but not just plain
old zoom! I have some 4x3 videos, but the top and bottom have black
bars
mplayer doesn't have an on-the-fly zoom capability as far as I can see.
(Anyone know better?) So I guess one would have to write some python code
which would stop and restart mplayer with extra cropping, in order to
obtain a zoom. Another possibility, which I am thinking of trying, would
be to just output in 4:3 and to use the television's own zoom/16:9 control
to adapt to the image (4:3, letterbox or 16:9).

I was playing around with it yesterday actually, playing a video full
screen and hitting the e button on the keyboard seems to zoom the
image in and w zooms it out - the OSD pops up and looks like this :

According to the mplayer man page, that is increase/decrease
pan-and-scan range. I wonder if that would be a good substitute,
especially when used with 4/3 video with black bars ont he top and

[Freevo-users] tcp network remote
The local_conf.py file has the tcp_network_remote options in it and i've gotten the web remote to work and it will be perfect until I can put together the IR. The config file says it's possible to send commands via a telnet client, but I can't figure it out. I can telnet in to the port so it seems active but it doesn't do anything.

[Freevo-users] windows freevo
Hi All
Let me start by saying that I love freevo, I have been using it for
about 1 1/2 years so far, and its been a good lounge companion :) I
don't use any of the tv functionality, freevo just gives me an easy to
see interface to my music and movies that I can use my remote to control.
So I have been looking for a similar app for windows. They pretty much
all suck, mediaportal is probably the closest functionality wise, but
even it version 2 its a resource hogging resource hog. Plus it plain
doesn't work on my machine.
So my question is, has anyone tried to port freevo to windows? What
would the impediments be if one attempted this? I don't know python, but
I am not afraid to try :)
If I was to attempt this, the result would be a freevo lite. I wouldn't
bother with things like tv recording or tv listings. I just want to
press buttons on my remote and be able to see the results from across
the room :) Audio and video playback and winlirc usage is the goal :)
So I understand that lirc is done with pylirc, and the interface is
generated with pygame (which uses sdl?). pygame runs on windows, pylirc
looks like it doesn't :(
Putting linux on my other pc is not an option unfortunately.

Re: [Freevo-users] Sound across a network
You could use JACK, here is the page listing the apps that runs with JACK: http://jackit.sourceforge.net/apps/ The 3rd one down is called Oddcast, an Icecast/Shoutcast streamer. From the main web page : JACK is a low-latency audio server, written for POSIX conformant operating systems such as GNU/Linux and Apple's OS X. It can connect a number of different applications to an audio device, as well as allowing them to share audio between themselves. I am pretty sure that JACK can take sound from alsa, do whatever routing it want to or needs to, then give it to whatever you want. Including alsa again, but I suppose that it could give it to Oddcast. So freevo would be giving audio data to alsa. alsa would be giving audio data to JACK (because it thinks its a sound card driver?), and JACK would give it to oddcast :) Keep us (or at least me) posted, I wouldnt mind knowing if this works.

Re: [Freevo-users] Sound across a network
Okay, I think I made some incorrect assumptions below. mplayer is on the jack app list (mplayer will input audio to jack), so if you play mp3's with mplayer : freevo tells mplayer what to do mplayer outputs sounds to jack jack output sound to oddcast (or alsa for playing on the hardware of the same pc that freevo runs on) oddcast gives sound to streamcast/icecast streamcast/icecast gives sound to remote pc listen! The trick would be telling jack where to output sounds to, alsa or oddcast. I wouldnt imagine that it would be difficult.

Sometimes I'm not there, but I still want to listen to music or whatever. Using x11vnc I can see and use the desktop, but I can't hear it. I'd like to know whether there is some easy way to send all the sound produced in the freevo box through the net and hear in another machine, in the same way that x11vnc does. at first, I thought about setting up a shoutcast server, but I don't know how to stream the output of an alsa device to the server. Perhaps other people here have had the same problem and have a nice sollution for this. I don't want to need arts or esd.

Re: [Freevo-users] autorip
Thanks for the info Karl! Jake I once wrote a small C tool which detected C insertion for a DVD ripper in gtk2. It used a fairly basic ioctl call to detect that the disk had been inserted, I imagine that this can also be done in perl/python. There is lots of documentation on how to do this in C on the net, try searching google for ioctl CD drive detection for instance. Then its just a matter of detecting whether or not the disk is a DVD which can be done fairly easily with lsdvd. Hope this helps, Karl On Tue, 2005-10-04 at 09:55 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I have a script that converts dvd's into avi's.

[Freevo-users] changing a dvd while running freevo
Hi all How does one change a dvd when running freevo? For example, I just watched a movie, and I want to watch another. Do i have to exit freevo, umount the dvd, eject the dvd, then insert the new one, then run freevo again? Or can freevo do this sort of thing automatically (well, apart from the 'insert a new one' part :) ). I was just going to configure the supermount stuff last night, but then I thought I had better ask, maybe freevo has some issues when using supermount ?

Re: [Freevo-users] VCRVO project, a note on cables
My god, do you guys listen to your stereo equipment, or the music coming out of the speakers? :) Geert Decorte wrote: I think a few people need to get into high fidelity audio. To be clear : cable is cable, it's just a piece of metal.( Some people claims they can hear the difference between a gold and a copper cable, come on, let's be serious) Seriousely, ALL cables have a sonic signature. Silver is, in general, a harsher sounding material. Copper is, again, in general, a warmer sounding material. Stranded cables can have a sort of grainy sound, while solid cables sound different depending on the guage. You will find the differences into the higher tones. Not all people are having the same audio bandwidth. Most people are limited into the higher tones. Making high quality setups useless for this people. The level of treatment you are talking about, goes beyond the costs of a cable or a connector. Boxes, the environment and background noise (FAN) comes to my mind as potential disturbing factors, which should be treated as well. So, if you've got a freevo system wich produces some background noise (fans, hd), it isn't worth the pain to spend a lot of money into cabling. Avoiding oxidation however is a must for a professional aproach and has nothing to do with the initial quality, but everything with long term quality.

Moving the screen is a matter of X, not of freevo. Depends on your video card, some allow simple moving of the TV-out image. Otherwise, adding a custom ModeLine to your xorg.conf might help. I remember there was a program available which generated custom modelines interactively, you could e.g. move the screen, but I can't recall it's name. Otherwise manual fiddling with a modeline might be an option. HaJo Schatz mentioned a program to play with modelines interactively. It's called xvidtune and chances are pretty good you already have it on your machine. Just start X then open a terminal and type xvidtune.
