The following page has been changed by 194.7.114.130: http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/DocumentationPage_2fSupportedHardware The comment on the change is: Moved some info to the new wiki ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @@ -31,24 +31,9 @@ == TV Capture Cards == -Any video card that supports the * [http://bytesex.org/bttv/ v4l] or [http://bytesex.org/bttv/ v4l2] API. Should be possible to use under Linux. However, -If you are looking into new hardware, some models are highlighted. - - === Cards using the BTTV kernel module === -According to http://bytesex.org/bttv/ bttv is linux driver for TV cards based on the bt848 and bt878 chips. - -see the BttvPage for module setup. This page also contains a listing of cards supported by the BTTV driver. - -=== Hauppauge WinTV Cards === - -Many people have reported good performance and strong driver support for the Hauppauge WinTV series -of cards. They have a large number of cards, but only the WinTV PCI cards using analog reception -will be of much use. -Warning: if you're considering to buy a Hauppauge WinTV card check the chipset on the card before buying. Hauppauge has changed the chipset on some cards without any mention. -For example the older version of the WinTV PCI Radio (401) has bt878 chip which is well supported by BTTV, but a newer revision contains the CX881 chip which currently -(2003-07-08) is not supported. +Moved to the new wiki : http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/Hardware/bttv === Hauppauge WinTV-PVR Cards === @@ -70,35 +55,12 @@ ==== Freevo setup for IVTV ==== -In order to record using the PVR-250/350 cards with Freevo please read the IVTV section in RecordingInfo, too. - -In order to watch live TV with a PVR-250/350, the following 2 lines are needed in local_conf.py with older Freevo versions: -{{{plugin.remove('tv.mplayer') -plugin.activate('tv.ivtv_basic_tv')}}} - -With (at least) 1.50-rc1 the above is no longer true, however the following VIDEO_GROUP setting is now necessary (again, see RecordingInfo): -{{{VIDEO_GROUPS = [ - VideoGroup(vdev="/dev/video0", - adev=None, - input_type='tuner', - input_num=4, - tuner_norm=CONF.tv, - tuner_chanlist=CONF.chanlist, - desc='Cable', - group_type="ivtv", - recordable=True), - ]}}} +Moved to the new wiki : http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/AnalogTvConfig ==== TV-Out ==== If you want Freevo to use the WinTV PVR card's TV-out, you can use the TV-out as a standard framebuffer device for X. Once you get X working with this framebuffer device freevo works with it just like any other X display. This is explained in the [http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=TvOutHowto TvOutHowto page of the IVTV Wiki]. -==== Misc. Information ==== - -The WinTV-PVR card appears to possibly have some minimal support in the recent BTTV 0.9.x drivers. It appears the BTTV author ported some of the old code from the http://pvr.sourceforge.net project. According to the latter site, this would allow to use standard V4L TV software (xawtv, tvtime, ...). Please add information to this wiki page if you know more about this. - -Otherwise, the current status is that the card will '''not''' deliver the right output on `/dev/video0` for those TV applications to work. Depending on your settings (this can be changed via ioctl's, see the test_ioctl utility from the IVTV driver), `/dev/video0` will probably already give an MPEG2 stream that can be played with Mplayer for example ("`mplayer -v - < /dev/video0`", more sophisticated commands are used by Freevo). Freevo has IVTV driver support, that is, it will issue the right IOCTL commands to set up your card, change the channels and so on. (See the example local_config.py; the output of test_ioctl will help a lot in choosing the right parameters.) - === ATI All-in-Wonder Models === Check out [http://gatos.sourceforge.net the Gatos website] for information on the All-in-Wonder cards. They have incredible support for even the really really old All-in-Wonder cards. NOTE: ALL of the All-in-Wonder cards, even the original 4MB one will give DVD hardware acceleration if you use the Gatos drivers. It's worth the effort if you have one of the oldies. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
