Have searched through numerous posts and forums but haven't yet come up with a fix for this one!

Just updated to 10.04 but can't get xorg to give me any meaningful resolutions (monitor is a...

Hi Arron,

You can use Video4Linux and VideoLan for the purpose until saedelaere manages to update TV-Viewer (keep up the good work saedelaere). The details below are what I use:

You may be better off posting this in a PHP forum rather than here, as you are more likely to get responses from people who know PHP (as it's a PHP question, not a Ubuntu question).

Well, having tried, several times now, to upgrade my Acer Travelmate 630 to 8.04 (from 7.10), I've finally come to the conclusion that 8.04 doesn't work on this laptop.

7.10 was working great but...

I'm glad someone else has found it useful. I've also used Gnome Schedule 2.0.2 to set up cron templates for PVR scheduled recording and channel changing. If anyone is interested in that, let me know...

I was just about to mention that thread. Take a look, saedelaere knows what he's talking about. :-) I gave up on Myth - way over the top for what I wanted to do (watch TV capture analogue video and...

Why do people get so bogged down into trying to make something look like something else? I think it's great that it doesn't look like either (MS or APPLE). Why not spend time and effort making it...

My understanding is that it makes certain modifications to Firefox to integrate more with Ubuntu/Apt for easier handling of Addons/Extensions installation

VLC has deinterlace, I don't think Mplayer has

Pass? Phone a friend? Ask the audience? :-k

Alternatively, you can use v4l2 to control the card (I use these methods personally):

The device setting (usually) for Hauppauge PVR-150: /dev/video0:


v4l2-ctl --device=/dev/video0
Then the...

Phew! Finally figured out how to get VLC to display the stream whilst recording:


vlc pvr:// :pvr-device="/dev/video0" :pvr-radio-device="/dev/radio0" :pvr-norm=0 :pvr-frequency=-1...

As an alternative/addition to above, I've also now figured out the command to enable VLC to display the stream whilst recording:


vlc pvr:// :pvr-device="/dev/video0"...

Sorry, that's my fault - confusing you with my thought processes.

The command is:
v4l2-ctl
the parameter is
-input

So, the complete command with parameter is:
v4l2-ctl --set-input=0 (for...

v4l2 (vee four el two)
Video 4 Linux. (v2) - it's a driver not a command.

v4l2-ctl is used to get/set the driver parameters/settings

Hi,

This is the very issue I've been working on. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=763698&page=3 Post #23

You can change between inputs using "v4l2-input" - as per the above post. There...

After a bit more detective work and trial&error, I've managed to get the command-line channel changing sorted (using VLC and v4l2 instead of ivtv-tune) - also worked out how to use the composite...

I've just tried this method and all I get is static on all channels - when I use TV-Viewer, it changes channels correctly

PS. It's ivtv-tune (with a hyphen).

BBC Radio 1 -> <http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1_asx.shtml>

works fine in Mplayer

No idea why it won't work in the others!?!

Given up on Myth for the time being (don't have the time to mess about with it) and am using TV-Viewer instead. A nice simple interface to allow you to watch TV - it just works! Probably because it...

:smile:
I've done a bit of experimenting and this method also works with VLC. (With respect to another tuner - I have one built into my monitor, so I can watch something else while the system is...

I installed TV-Viewer 4 or 5 times - bizarre! Anyway, it's working fine now.



At the moment, I'm recording with VLC - the only problem is not being able to see what I'm recording. Will the...

Thanks for the pointer. In the meantime, however, it's managed to sort itself out!?! After the fifth install it just worked! How bizarre is that? Anyway, thanks for your input. All I need to do know...

Great so far! I've got further than I had with any other package - I at least have the tuner working now with VLC, along with my VCR (to copy old VHS tapes onto DVD). The only remaining problem is...
