I've been using my PVR-500 with analog (composite) NTSC input for some years
vlc. I had been using the "vlc pvr:///dev/video0" which worked, but
recently vlc has dropped the pvr interface in favor of v4lc. Unfortunately,
it means my external video can no longer be displayed. Searching for
answers, I came across this bug report:
https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/10258 which describes my symptoms
exactly, but was closed as "not a vlc bug."
That ticket doesn't look relevant to the problem at hand. The user
used v4l:// instead of v4lc://. In other words, he tried to feed the
PVR-150's MPEG stream to a VLC input type that expected raw
uncompressed video.
I'm not sure I understand that. If that person was making an error,
it's probable I'm making the same one, since I've been attempting to use
v4l2:///dev/video0 just as that person was.
That said, I'm not sure what your issue is. Do you have any VLC logs
you can post?
I could, but perhaps it's a moot point. When I use "vlc
v4l2c:///dev/video:input=2" it works perfectly. When I use "vlc
v4l2:///dev/video:input=2" (which is what I'd been attempting up until
your message) I get the same errors as listed in ticket 10258.
So, I'm happy that a solution seems to be at hand, but vlc only showed
me v4l2:// devices under the heading "Capture Devices" and I did not
know of the existence of v4l2c:// devices until just now (and don't know
what they are.) Thank you for bridging the gap for me -- what can we do
to help the next person encountering this problem?
