With the same card and cables I can capture and play video on Windows XP
using Hauppauge WinTV v6 software.
On Linux I can't capture and/or can't play.
Windows VLC plays the video I captured on XP with WinTV v6, but videos
captured on Linux are black.
Linux mplayer configuration may be wrong. GUI mplayer gives following error
when I try to play a file.
"Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device."
In /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf:
#vo=xv
I tried vo=xv and vo=x11. No help.

Have no idea what I am doing.
Thanks for your interest.
Peter
