I would like to be able to play avi files but can't seem to get it working. The sound plays but no video. I'm using kaffiene. I had to install the xvid codec under windows to get them to play...is there something similar I need to do with suse for it to work?

MPlayer 0.92-4 and SuSE 9.0
by Jose J. Cintron 16 Jan '04

16 Jan '04

Just installed SuSE 9.0 and when I try to install MPlayer I get a message saying that libsmbclient.so.0 is needed. 2 questions come to mind 1. Why does Mplayer need smbclient? 2. I already have libsmbclient3 installed, what is it looking for? I even tried creating a sym link to libsmbclient3.so.0 to no avail. Any help will be appreciated.

pinnacle pctv problems
by Samuel Braun 15 Jan '04

15 Jan '04

Hello guys Recently i installed the new suse linux 9.0 on my computer. The computer has also a pinnacle pctv pci card inside. The setup detected the card automatically. After playing around with the tv applications (kwintv, xawtv) I noticed, that I'm not able to get all the channels. I considered the channels list from our cablenet. I noticed that all UHF channels and some VHF OSB channels are impossible to get. I found out that, it has something to do with the driver, because before I had linux on my computer I used windows and there the tv card worked very well with all channels. The cable is also working correctly, checked it with a normal TV. So I started yast and went to the tv-card section. Here I'm able to select a tuner. The default option, which was selected, is standard tuner. I tried a few, but the problem is that I don't exactly know which tuner device I have. But there was no change to the channels problem. Today I tried to look for some tuner names directly on the pci card, but I didn't find anything. One one big "chip" there is the pinnacle logo and on one another chip there is "Connexant Fusion 878A".

transcode --import_v4l
by Sam Braun 15 Jan '04

15 Jan '04

Hi guys Another problem I have: I use transcode --import_v4l [Channel Number],[Channel Name] to record from my tv card. The problem is: I don't know where to get the channel number. I tried transcode --import_v4l 0,[Channel Name] and the result is: It records always from the same channel. The channel names i read from the .xawtv file. If I put the number, which I see in xawtv (right mouse click on the screen) as parameter transcode says: invalid number or something like that. On the transcode website there is no documentation about the --import_v4l parameter. Has anybody some informations about this?

Hi Daniel > Exactly, I think this is the problem. I have a couple of links from > the spanish list. Maybe you can take a look at them: > > /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-166/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/Cards mentions > your chip. > http://bytesex.org/cx88 That means, I have to update the driver to this cx88 driver, doensn't it? I'll check it out if I have time. > And here is the newest sw by SuSe people.
