Hi Rob, How's your system recovery going?
I tried the new runtime-pre5-test1 mplayer and found that it didn't do anything with the forceaudio option for tv parameters, needed to get my v4l2 card working properly with mplayer. The mplayer startup message still says "Audio: no sound". I'm not sure if 'forceaudio' is supposed to provide some other display message? (BTW, the new mplayer now requires input URL as tv:// instead of passing 'on' as part of the tv parameters -- I hope that freevo mplayer script was modified to reflect this). Here's my mplayer call parameters (in case I forgot something): ./apps/mplayer/mplayer -fps 30 -tv \ driver:v4l:forceaudio:forcechan=1:amode=0:adevice=/dev/dsp:\ device=/dev/video0:channel=E5:norm=pal:chanlist=europe-west:\ width=720:height=576 -ao alsa9 -vo fbdev tv:// The patch which is supposed to allow v4l2 cards to function with mplayer is below. Can you please verify that it's already part of the mplayer cvs snapshot? ---- Wan Tat Chee (Lecturer) School of Computer Science, Univ. Science Malaysia, 11800 Minden, Penang, Malaysia.

This is to fix the issue of no audio unmuting during TV playback on v4l2-only devices (e.g., saa7134 TV cards). To use this feature, the tv parameters have to include 'forceaudio'. I don't think the tvcmd tv parameters in src/tv/mplayer.py can be overridden via local_config.py yet. Also, the tvcmd for vcr mode hardcodes chanlist=us-cable. Can it use the same format as for TV viewing where chanlist is a variable which takes its value from freevo.conf? Thanks.
