Everything I get from /dev/video0 is black in all the cases.
The order of operations went like this: 1. Apply patch 2. make 3. load ivtv into the kernel 4. ivtvctl -p1 #select Composite input 5. cat /dev/video0 >file.mpg 6. mplayer file.mpg 7. ivtvctl --set-gpio dir=0xffff,val=0xffff 8. cat /dev/video0 >file.mpg 9. mplayer file.mpg 10. unload ivtv 11. change the source to use the next IVTV_CX25840_COMPOSITE value 12. repeat from step 2 until all composite values are tested. _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-devel
