The player is Totem Mplayer.

I waited a few minutes and it did not appear to be doing anything.

When I bypassed installation of the mythtv configuration it brought me to a enter username, password and port entry site. I just grew impatient because I was not familiar with the installation of mythdora linux.

Are there any snap shots of the installation of mythdora....?

Can you take a snap shot of your desktop with your tuner playing....and email to dolphans1@hotmail.com.....?

Thanks, I tried Suse 11.1 and thought I would try the Mythdora Linux, the version I downloaded was the CD-live version, maybe that was the problem...?

Oh forgot to mention Mandriva 2009.....

Somehow I feel the problem is somewhere in here.....?

In KdeTv configuration menu I do not see the plug-in Video4Linux Plugin.....

kdetv: WARNING: Device does not support streaming interface or is not a V4L2 device.

This is old version, but the configuration of myhttv is pretty close to what it is now http://www.mythpvr.com/mythtv/distri...install-1.html



email sent.

Guess what, I got it to work by running into a post that give me a hint. kdetv cannot play mpeg2 files, but I ran this command mplayer -vf pp=lb /dev/video0 and I finally got a great picture, I do not hear any sound over the speakers, but I am working on it.....

I get this message in konsole though, but the picture looks nice, do you know what it might mean....?


Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 7992492 bytes).
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
- Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
- Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
- Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
- Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try some of the lavdopts,
e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all.
- Broken file
- Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
- Try -cache 8192.
- Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
- Try -nocache.

But still no sound.......

cat /dev/video0 | kaffeine stdin://



I give credit to almatic's post in March of 2007 and bic......for making me think....

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-kdetv-586831/



Now I have to figure out the issue with the sound.....any tips pic...?

I got sound on a different channel, but not the main line in off channel 3.

For sound run ivtv-ctl

I tried it and got this:

[stan@localhost ~]$ run ivtv-ctl
bash: run: command not found
[stan@localhost ~]$ ivtv-ctl
bash: ivtv-ctl: command not found

I also tried this command and got this: $ sox -r 32000 -t alsa hw:2,0 -t alsa hw:0,0

[stan@localhost ~]$ sox -r 32000 -t alsa hw:2,0 -t alsa hw:0,0
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1429_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card
sox formats: can't open input file `hw:2,0': cannot open audio device

I opened mplayer first and got this message, still no sound, xine seems to show a better quality picture.
