Xawtv-4's radio application seems to work fine for pvrusb2 29xxx devices. An example session:
1) In one terminal, run a player on /dev/radio0 device. $ mpeg2desc -a0 < /dev/radio0 | madplay - Or $ mpeg2desc -a0 < /dev/radio0 | mpg123 - Or $ mpeg2desc -a0 < /dev/radio0 | mpg321 - Or $ mpeg2desc -a0 < /dev/radio0 | mplayer - 2) In another terminal, run Xawtv-4's radio binary. $ xawtv-4-install/bin/radio (-c /dev/radio0) There is a hiccup or stumbling block when generating the initial radio configuration file ($HOME/.radio. 1) First create the mapping file or file recording the strong signals for your area. $ xawtv-4-install/bin/radio -i > $HOME/.radio 2) The xawtv4 forgets to write a [Buttons] section within the .radio config file, which makes the .radio useful for users using 'radio'! A final file might look something like this: $ cat ~/.radio [Buttons] 1=95900000 2=96900000 3=103900000 [Stations] 95900000=scan-14 96900000=scan-15 100290000=scan-17 (The [Stations] section contains all your local areas hot/strong frequencies, while the [Buttons] section contains hot keys or presets which will display the frequencies/button within the radio application.) One other concern for the bin/radio program, The color red for the preset ncurses widget seems to blind us! -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/ _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
