Others have suggested installing ivtv, which is necessary, but it seems like
you already have it loaded if you can do a "mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0" and
get video. It sounds like your problem is more with mplayer. If this is the
case, I don't have a solution, but I do have the same problem. I can
play/record video using mplayer and mencoder with /dev/video0, but using the
tv:// and -tv options don't work for me. I get a floating point error when I
add the tv:// option. I wonder if there is any advantage to using tv://
instead of the way we are doing it? If there is no advantage, I suppose we
could just change the configuration to remove it.

I've used Freevo for quite a while, but I just now purchased a pvr-250 and
am trying to get tv watching working... it's not going well. From what I
have read using a pvr-250 should just basically work, so perhaps I'm doing
something stupid. I am running FC3 and Freevo 1.5.3.
When I try try to view a channel from the tv guide, I get a black window
for a moment and then I return to the guide. If I manually run the mplayer
command I see:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# mplayer -vo x11, -fs -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100
-screenw 800 -screenh 600 -fs -slave -nocache tv:// -tv
driver=v4l:freq=77.250:device=/dev/video0:input=0:norm=NTSC:width=640:height=480:outfmt=yuy2

Playing tv://.
TV detected! ;-)
No such driver: v4l
Exiting... (End of file)
I also tried v4l2 as the driver with the same result. xawtv does not appear
to wrok either.
In my xorg log I see:
(II) LoadModule: "v4l"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/linux/v4l_drv.o
(II) Module v4l: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 6.8.2, module version = 0.0.1
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.7
and if I run v4l-conf I see:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# v4l-conf
v4l-conf: using X11 display :0.0
dga: version 2.0
mode: 1024x768, depth=24, bpp=32, bpl=4096, base=0xe0000000
/dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support
So it seems like I have vl4 loaded ok. If I run mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0
mplayer will get video off the pvr 250, so the card is functional.
Basically I am stumped. Searching the mailing list and google has failed to
turn up anything I can identify as a solution.
Any ideas out there?
Many thanks,
Davin
