Hi,
the ptune scripts are not working any more, since they now try to set
invalid frequencies. I have no Idea what has changed since my last test,
but in exchange I have suceeded in tuning in a channel via ivtvctl.
It seems that the true frequency (f.e. 591.25 for my vcr) can be mapped
to the appropriate frequency for ivtvctl by division with 0.0625, i.e.
ivtvctl -r 9460 tunes in the desired channel, where 9460=591.25/0.0625.
I derived this from the error message in syslog vor ivtvtl -r 100 which
yiels:
tuner: TV freq (6.25) out of range (44-958)
(Actually I attempted this before but used 0.06 as divisor derived from
-r 1, which was not precise enough).
Composite in now also works, I just picked the wrong scart plug on my
vcr...
One question that remains is, wether it is possible to automatically
scan for channels. scantv should do this, but it tries to set the input
to Television instead of Tuner 0 and thus fails.
As said above ptune and ptune-ui also fail. The simplest alternative
might be to derive the channels from my old xawtv channel list.
