[opensuse-factory] every TV app fails
Hey Group; Does anyone have a TV app that works. TVtime, xawtv, motv (KWintv is not available to try) are just some that fail. It seems they all fail due to framebuffers and/or KDE volume control. So does anyone know of one that works with a pci analog tv card on openSuSE 11.4 -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb@comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Skype:n5xwbg BMWMOA #:4146 Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Hi I am using VLC to watch TV off a Hauppauge PVR 150 analogue pci card without problem. I can get all 5 terrestrial TV channels and also watch my satellite channel 67 Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Hi Donn, TVtime works for me. I've got an old WinTV with the Hauppauge 848 chipset. I jumper the sound from the WinTV board to the analog line-in jack. I use a Nvidia frame buffer.

Thanks Dave and Lew;
Well part of the problem here is that the NEW MB chips for sound has some issues and kmix only shows one pot. I did try other mixers which showed more. One pot labeled Line turned out to be PCM. The sound chip set is snd-hda-intel and ATI SBx00 Azila as discovered by hwinfo for one chip with reported 8 channels (I need only 2). My TV card is PCI Hauppauge 401 BT878 with a line out and speaker -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb@comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Skype:n5xwbg BMWMOA #:4146 Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

AFAIR all of those apps use GL which means they depend on packages (much like blender) installed by third party drivers ie. nvidia installs them and (if they aren't opensource yet) ati most probably does as well. One of the by products of this is although the application may work well on one person's system, it may fail to start altogether on another's. Sometimes this is caused by the drivers leaving stray libraries in directories that aren't used any more like /usr/X11R6/lib64/. Look at packages like libvdpau, Mesa and its derivatives, I see that there's a Mesa-nouveau3d package now, prime candidate for trouble.
