Freevo Config

[jakedakat]

I was attempting to configure Freevo, and I read the docs on their website and the comments in the config file itself but I couldnt seem to get it to work I might just totally be missing something. I am trying to get the music part working first. I have all my mp3s located in this directory /home/stereo/mp3 , I wanna add all of them to list in Freevo. So where exactly and in which config file would I do this? Any help would be great! Thanks

I've never heard of Freevo and unless another member can offer suggestions, see if these search results for 'freevo configuration' help.

Anyone know?

i have never installed it but it looks cool.

i googled for freevo, found the website, clicked documentation - clicked general setup and found this:

Freevos configuration is stored in the file freevo_config.py in the freevo directory. You WILL need to make a few changes, so copy to a new file called local_conf.py in the same directory and make all your personalizations, customizations and all other variables you want to change in there.

e.g.: you want to set the audio device for mplayer to alsa9, just put MPLAYER_AO_DEV = 'alsa9' in local_conf.py.

Check the config file carefully, most people will change the following variables:

* DIR_MOVIES Directories where your movies are
* DIR_MP3 Directories where your audio files (mp3, ogg) are
* DIR_IMAGES Directories where your images are
* RC_CMDS Comands for your remote control. Check /etc/lircd.conf for the button names of your remote
* Also check the mplayer section to specify the audio device and special paramter for mplayer.
* Check path for mencoder in VCR command

Yeah I checked out the Freevo docs on their web site, and I thought I put the path to my directory in the right spot but I still get the default test file coming up Mabey I will email one of the developers of it if I am still stuck in a few days.
