Hi all. Since I'm not sure whether I should upgrade to 9.0 or keep 8.2 I give 9.0 a try on a small partition. TV works fine except for the fullscreen mode.

Hello I realised with 8.2 (same applies to 9.0) that the only way to get the telly working in a nice way for me was to grab the lates CVS snapshot of Qtvision and compile+install it. Development of Kwintv has been dropped in favor of Qtvision. Kwintv site has the links to Qtvision. Cheers, --Jyry C|:-( C|:-/ C|========8-O C|8-/ C|:-(

I had some really strange problems with motv and xawtv as well as kwintv. I could get xawtv to work except for full screen, kwintv would start fine, but would never stop until I forcefully killed it and then it left the final image on the desktop. I know that support for kwintv has basically stopped as they more toward qtvision. But I discovered that mplayer will work with v4l and I use it. Full Screen works fine with it. I wrote a simple shell script (included below) that will take a channel number as an argument and will start playing the TV there. It works and wll go to full screen with little or now problem. I am doing this with NVidia 4496 build, but that shouldn't be affected with the latest build. I have been too busy over the holidays to upgrade to latest build yet. #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/amixer set "Capture" 5 unmute /usr/bin/amixer set "Aux" 25 capture unmute /usr/bin/mplayer -tv on:driver=v4l:width=640:height=480:outfmt=i420:alsa:forceaudio:forcechan=2:amode=1:chanlist=us-cable:channel=e $1:norm=NTSC:adevice=2 -vc rawi420 -vo xv -stop_xscreensaver -- Kelly L.

I had problems with that a while ago but discovered that when the colour depth was changed from 24 bit to 16 bit the fullscreen mode worked fine again. /Lars Fabian Niestroj wrote:

Hi all, I noticed that we haven't found a solution to this problem. I have, however, confirmed that the tv apps definitely don't get to use XV. I had the TV running (xawtv), while messing about with mplayer, and I noticed that mplayer was still using XV. So, any ideas why the TV apps can't get XV? Thanks Hans
