just tried the snapshot after using 1.4.1 before, and i see there is no ivtv_basic_tv anymore (and recording with recordserver results in a black mpeg file). how is that supposed to work now/in future releases?

Hi, some things in CVS have changed WRT tv and recording. The tv.ivtv_basic_tv plugin has been removed and the tv.mplayer plugin has been updated to support ivtv. To get recording and tv working you will need to modify the default VIDEO_GROUPS config item for ivtv. I will add docs to the wiki soon about this. You will probably need something similar to the following in yout local_conf.py:


VIDEO_GROUPS = [
    VideoGroup(vdev='/dev/video0',
               adev=None,
               input_type='tuner',
               input_num=4,
               tuner_norm='NTSC',
               tuner_chanlist='us-cable',
               desc='Cable',
               group_type='ivtv',
               recordable=True),
]

Note the input_num=4 part. It defaults to 0 which is not the norm for tuner on ivtv. Aubin mentioned we shouldn't specify a default and use whatever the card is already using which I agree with (and forgot to impliment :P).

If you need more info on VIDEO_GROUPS please search the lists. I still mean to ad info to the wiki.
