You could also use MPlayer's default mpeg driver, but it's not stable, crashing with corrupt mpeg data. For this reason it also cannot seek in MPEG-TS data recorded to disk, as MPlayer's MPEG-TS demuxer is still buggy/incomplete and doesn't search for I-frames. You could also try MPlayers new DVB-support, which seems to be somewhat broken (doesn't work reliably when zapping): mplayer dvb://<channel> Due to problems with the demuxer, pre-buffering is required, else the demuxer desyncs and looses audio. If you have such problems, try: mplayer -cache 4096 dvb://<channel> Remember to install a channels.conf with all non-displaying channels stripped to .mplayer/channels.conf David -- GnuPG public key: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~dvdkhlng/dk.gpg Fingerprint: B17A DC95 D293 657B 4205 D016 7DEF 5323 C174 7D40 -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
