Yes, v4l2-ctl -t and ivtvctl -z are equivalent (though they use different arguments). I would caution, however, that some users may have trouble leaving their tuners permanently set with ivtvctl -z 4 when using the internal tuner. I found that this mode can result in the primary audio coming from one speaker, and a secondary channel coming from another, depending on the channel being watched. At best, this just happens to work. At worst, you can end up with one speaker playing "descriptive video" (where someone narrates what's going on, visually, in the program you're watching) or even an entirely different audio program. I ended up with an episode of Cold Case that has the normal audio on the left and a football game on the right! -- Dan Wilga "Ook." _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
