I'm having some trouble getting live TV to work with
my MythTV setup (Fedora Core 4, PVR-350). I followed
Jarod's guide and have things mostly working. X11 is
running through the PVR-350's TV out. When I try to
watch live TV, I see garbage (green and pink blocks
all over the screen).
Check the box that says to use the PVR-350 for output. Even if you have
Xv working, you want this checked.
Capture/playback from the command line seems to work:
# cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg
# mplayer -vo x11 /tmp/test_capture.mpg
But if I run mplayer with "xv" instead of "x11"
# mplayer -vo xv /tmp/test_capture.mpg
I see the same static as when I try to watch live TV.
So it sounds like something is wacky with my MythTV
configuration? Is it passing the wrong args to
mplayer?
No. You don't have Xv support enabled for the PVR-350. Make sure
you're using a current version of ivtv (ideally, 0.4.0) and search the
lists for info on installing John Harvey's PVR-350 Xv support.
