Duncan,
When opening a station from the tv guide for watching tv, I see this in the
main-500.log:
ChildApp.__init__(), pid=3266, app= /usr/bin/mplayer -vo fbdev -ao alsa -fs
-autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100 -screenw 800 -screenh 600 -fs -slave
-nocache tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:freq=
208.000:device=/dev/video0:input=0:norm=PAL:width=640:height=480:outfmt=yuy2
, poll=-1
1169584104.61: started tv app
The recordserver seems to have it's own log, so I already had this in the
recordserver-500.log :
2007/01/19 21:24 CET [*RecordServer*] popen /usr/bin/mencoder tv:// -tv
driver=v4l:input=0:norm=pal:channel=25:chanlist=nl-multikabel:width=320:height=240:outfmt=yuy2:device=/dev/video0:adevice=/dev/dsp:audiorate=32000:forceaudio:forcechan=1:buffersize=64
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1200:keyint=30 -oac mp3lame
-lameopts br=128:cbr:mode=3 -ffourcc divx -endpos 49 -o
/home/michel/Video/Opnames/01-19_21:24_Handmatige_opname.avi
As you can see, Freevo gives the option "freq=" to the mplayer command, but
the mencoder command gets "channel=25:chanlist=nl-multikabel". Since the
nl-multikabel chanlist only exists in Freevo (because I put it in myself),
the mencoder program doesn't know what to do with it, and just uses the
frequency the tuner was already set to.
Note that the mencoder_cmd was not set in local_conf.py when i got this line
in the log.
Looks like a bug to me... any ideas?

I sounds like a bug. There are two different modules for capture and
playback.
Would you enable CHILDAPP_DEBUG=1 and may be DEBUG=1, they will report
the command line that is being used and then send me what it says.
You will need to look in the main-X.log, in /tmp/freevo or
/var/log/freevo.
