Re: [freevolive-users] FXD file hangs mandriva

[Robert Keir <rob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HI Michel,

Thanks for your response. I've installed the system and copied the *.std file to the hard drive. I have 1GB RAM and 320GB hard drive on the system.

I just had a thought which was sparked from you. So what I did was copy the *.fxd to a CD and then booted into Mandriva and inserted the CD into the drive. Freevo picked up the CD in "Watch a Video" - then the *.fxd worked great (Reading it from the CD). Do you think because it's a read-only file system (ISO9660) made it work?

cheers,
rob

Best Regards,
Robert Keir

Hi Rob,

Did you try to do this while running live (from cd), or dit you try
this after an installation to harddisk?  While running live, this
could be a memory problem, how much memory do you have in your system?
 Around 512MB should do more then fine though.

What if you leave the fxd file on your harddrive, and select it
manually (under "Browse local filesystems")?  Does it crash then as
well?

Hi All!

Just download the latest version 0.14 from the site and I'm very
impressed. I've had to compile from scratch to get it working on
slackware. The ISO is much easier!

I've got a *.fxd file (1.5MB) which has a whole lot of video
descriptions on it for 1060 videos MP4. However when I put it into the
/home/live/Video directory and jump back into freevo it just hangs the
system.

Any idea's on what the problem can be?

Thanks a lot for the great work on Mandriva.

rob.
