--fUYQa+Pmc3FrFX/N Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I've been working on a port of Freevo (http://freevo.sf.net/), which is ``an open-source home theatre PC platform'', for a while now and hopefully within a week or two version 1.5.0 will be released. My port is for 1.5rc3 (the latest release) and includes a few DVD-specific patches. I'd really like to get some feedback before I submit this port, so I've made it available at http://www.fajita.org/~lewiz/freevo-1.5rc3.tar.bz2 (it extracts into freevo so you can untar it in the multimedia subdir). Somebody has suggested a printout of available configure options, which I plan to implement shortly (although a quick look at the Makefile shows them). There are a few specific things that need attention (my hacks): 1. Are DVDs shown at the bottom of the ``Watch a Movie'' menu? 2. If you insert a DVD at the menu, does it autoplay? 3. If you eject/insert a DVD does the ``Watch a Movie'' drive entry get updated? 4. When playing a DVD from the ``Watch a Movie'' menu do you a) get the DVD menu (if using xine); b) get a list of tracks (mplayer); or c) get a list of the contents -- the final one really shouldn't happen so I am especially wanting to know about this! In addition to my Freevo port it's important you have a very recent version of mmpython. If you already have this installed, please upgrade -- it includes some critical disc-specific updates, without which the DVD stuff will really not work right (you'll get 4(c)!). If you CVSuped in the last couple of days you should be fine. Any and all feedback is welcome! I'd really like to perfect this one before 1.5rc4 so I can hopefully get a version in asap! Thanks! -lewiz. --=20 I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -| msn:purple@lewiz.net | jabber:lewiz@jabber.org | url:www.lewiz.org |- --fUYQa+Pmc3FrFX/N Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFA1h1PItq0KFQv7T8RAsBGAKDIwekXbftfeBvIgH4cCqSIIjj7dgCfXnPY TzhYkVLuoNuVK7NVETz4vNw= =iD1r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --fUYQa+Pmc3FrFX/N--
