OK Ive loaded R6 and because of a dodgy database i did a new install.

just to let you know Video playback does not work out of the box (For Me)

It seems to use a python script to start it call "mplayer-resumer.py" if I remember, the picture dosnt even start !!!!. I changed this to mplayer and it worked, to a fashion, got a picture but could only control it throught the keyboard. I assume the lirc file dosnt have the commands set up for mplayer for a microsoft remote.

Ok so then i changed the player to Internal and things are fine.

Same here. Switched to "Internal" and videos play fine.

Tailed mythfrontend.log with default settings and this was the output after trying to watch the video:

sh: mplayer-resumer.pl: command not found

Thanks.

Ok I will do another flyspray ticket.

I got mplayer to work the buttons dont seem to be the same as my old config file. that was confusing !!

I use the folowing command line


Code:
mplayer -fs -vo xv -vf pp=lb  %s


As i mentioned in my previous posts i did a new install and copied the tv files over to /myth/video/tv

the problem is that its hit and mis as to wether mplayer plays the correct audio channel about 30% of the time i get the audio description for the blind.

so I redid this script that I had for mencoding them but I cant get it to work
It extracts the correct audio ID 702 on the one i am workin on but mplayer fails to start with the error
Error parsing command line aid should be integer : 702

if I type


Code:
mplayer -fs -vo xv -vf pp=lb -aid 702 xxxx.mpg


I get the correct audio channel

heres my code


Code:
#!/bin/sh
aid="$(echo q | mplayer -ao null -vo null -v "$1" 2>&1 | grep 'FOUND.*type=0x50' | sed 's,.*pid=[^ ]* (\([^)]*\)).*,\1,' | sort -n | head -1)"
echo "$aid"
echo mplayer -fs -vo xv -vf pp=lb -aid "$aid" "$1"
exec mplayer -fs -vo xv -vf pp=lb -aid "$aid" "$1"


I tried to use the echo to display the command but that didnt work

Any suggestions please, as it is every time the wife hits one with the wrong audio channel she looks at me as if I did it deliberately, and i have to get up and hit th # key on the keyboard to change audio channels.

So can someone tell me why the last line of that code does not work
Or
the mplayer command to add to my lircrc to change audio channels
Or
If there is another way to get mplayer to play the lowest audio pid (not the first one it found)
