Today I have been found that Mplayer is the greatest TVTuner software for Linux, with the best image quality (better that DScaler for windows provide)
that at least made me curious... :)

Tried it and started playing with some features (not all, didn't have the time yet). I get it to display TV-channels, but there doesn't seem to be any "red" color in them (the "hint" in the mplayer documentation don't seem to change anything). And mplayer says it'll start saying: "Audio: no sound!!!", but there is perfect sound. But I can't get it to stop playing (after I close mplayer). (OK, I can start KWinTV afterwards which will "take over" the soundsystem, I guess, and when I close that, the sound'll be stopped.) So I got a little question, not directly about mplayer -I gotta keep experimenting with that- , but about the sound-thing: I tried to figure out why it keeps playing sound and especially how it does it. I couldn't find any process that seemed to be related to that in the ProcessTable of the KDESystemGuard. So I just logged off the user (jliedtke) I started mplayer with (and logged in as root in textmode to investigate furter) - sound kept playing. There were no processes (says top) left that were started by jliedtke. fuser -v /dev/* doesn't give me anything video- and/or sound-related (as far as I can tell). I also restarted "alsasound" - that didn't even interrupted the sound. I thought I should see some busy device or process that produces the sound. But O'Reilly's "Linux in a nutshell" doesn't seem to give me any more advice on how to find out what my 'puter is doing, than the above mentioned. Could anybody point me in the right direction where to look or what to check, or maybe tell me what I should read for more information about the linux sound system? -- Powered by SuSE 8.1pro - KDE 3.0.3 - KMail 1.4.3 At least, try asking smart questions: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Netiquette is easy: http://learn.to/edit_messages ...and you'll get flame-free answers in no time.
