First off, thanks to all who responded to my last post. Unfortunately
the suggestions didn't help.
To recap:
Freevo 1.5.3
PVR 250
FC3
IVTV
MPlayer 1.0pre7 complied on my machine
The problem: Can not watch tv. Any attempt to use mplayer tv:// style
commands results in mplayer crashing as follows::
================================================================================

- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We
can't and
won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a
possible bug.
====================================================================================
I've looked into the "v4l2: ioctl request buffers failed: Invalid
argument" error and found people saying that ivtv will not work with
mplayer tv:// commands. Is this out of date? It would seem to be because
it appears the Freevo will default to using mplayer and tv://.
I can watch tv by simply having mplayer go straight to /dev/video0. I
also dug the old ivtv_basic_tv plugin out of cvs and tried it. It works
like a champ, but it is deprecated. According to the cvs message, it has
been replaced by the tv.mplayer plugin as it has ivtv support. If that
is the case, have I missconfigured something that is causing the
tv.mplayer plugin to output the wrong mplayer command (should not be
trying to use tv:// format)? Is the command correct, but there is
something wrong with my ivtv or mplayer?
Are there any good guides to setting up pvr 250's with Freevo? I can't
seem one, and what I can find gives the impression that it should just
work leaving me feeling like an idiot for not having it working (idiocy
on my part may indeed be the problem). I have been using the Fedora
Myth(TV)logy site at wilsonet.com. I even reinstalled FC3 and went
through the whole setup again just in case I screwed something up.
Thanks in advance!
