I'm having quite a problem trying to get MPlayer to display TV on
FreeBSD 4.7. When I try to play it, I get nothing but a blue window.
When I try to encode/dump it, MPlayer/Mencoder exit with an error of:
Couldn't find matching colorspace - retrying with -vop scale...
Sorry, selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec.
Can't find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x59565955!
and Exiting...
I can assure everyone that there is no videocard problem. I have tried
two different AGP cards (ATI Rage128 and Nvidia GeForce4), and XV, SDL,
GL, etc, all work perfectly for anything other than TV-viewing.
Besides, a videocard problem wouldn't account for my inability to
record/encode.
I have /modules/bktr_mem.o and bktr.o loading at startup, and FXTV works
quite well with it. I've had it working fine under a couple different
Linux 2.4.xx distros with Mplayer, albeit using v4l, not bktr.
I have gone so far as to having written a script that tried every
possible combination of hw.bt848.card= and hw.bt848.tuner=, and
trying to get mplayer to encode a few seconds of video using each
setting. That just leaves me with a buch of 0B output files.
The card in question is a K-World KW-TV878RF-PRO. My DMESG is below.
The command-line I typically use to launch mplayer is: mplayer -tv
on:driver=bsdbt848:input=0:width=640:height=480:norm=NTSC:chanlist=us-cable:channel=11,
although I've tried plenty of minor variations by now, such as trying
all the different outfmt= settings, etc.
This is something I really need to be able to do, but this has been
quite a stumbling block so far. It doesn't help that every result I
find searching through google is someone saying how well MPlayer works
at displaying TV (D'oh!). If nobody has any aswers, I suppose I'll have
to go bother the port maintainer with this one, which I'd rather not
do... Any help is appreciated.
