Is there a REALLY good tv software package other than MythTV

Or a way to fix TVTime.

 BTW how many video for linux devices are you running?  If more than one it could be possible that the tvcard has changed from /dev/video0 to /dev/video1 or some such.  If that's the case then you need to make a change in your udev rules files, that way the system will boot and that card will have the same /dev/video? each boot.

Much easier: tvtime-configure -d /dev/video1 or whatever. -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, I only have one TV card and it's /dev/video0

Then I'm not sure what's wrong. I vaguely remember having similar issue before I installed closed-source nvidia driver, but I can't swear about it... -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Maybe I'm missing something in Duanes answer, but I think he misunderstood the question about /dev/video?. Duane how many entries are there when you do:

ls /dev/video*

If you have another video for linux device, like a webcam, it will also have an entry there.

I just have one. -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler@att.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 10 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

OK, lets see if /dev/video0 works first. What happens if you do:

,---- | mplayer /dev/video0 `----

?

Can you post the full output of: ,---- | mplayer -v /dev/video0 `---- ? Charles -- "I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb. Thank you." (By Vance Petree, Virginia Power)

Is that supposed to work? For me, it doesn't, and I have a working /dev/video0 (a webcam, actually). For testing if it works I usually take xawtv. Skype might also be an option...

You need to pass more options for your webcam. Try something like:

This works for my uvc based webcam.

Whee, indeed :-) Good to know, thanks!
