You can use mplayer or xine mplayer /dev/video0 xine fifo://dev/video0 But you can't change channels from these programs, you have to use ivtv-tune from the command line. If you want to change channels with your remote, you can use ivtv-tune and irexec (comes with lirc). Edit your .lircrc configuration file as shown in the example below and run irexec in the background. .lircrc: ------------8<-------------------------------- begin remote = your_remote button = 1 prog = irexec config = ivtv-tune --frequency=196.25 end begin remote = your_remote button = 2 prog = irexec config = ivtv-tune --frequency=252.25 end ------------8<-------------------------------- Regards, Petter _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
