Oops, yeah I was kinda vague. Yes it was with TV. After changing to V4L2 everything start to work fine. This is from the Mplayer-stderr log: ================================================================= WARNING: YOU ARE USING V4L DEMUXER WITH V4L2 DRIVERS!!! As the V4L1 compatibility layer is broken, this may not work. If you encounter any problems, use driver=v4l2 instead. Bugreports on driver=v4l with v4l2 drivers will be ignored. ================================================================= tv.c: norm_from_string(NTSC): Bogus norm parameter, setting default. Unknown norm! Error: Cannot set norm! FPS not specified in the header or invalid, use the -fps option. No stream found. This is from the Mplayer-stdout log: ( I did not think I had built an SVN release of Mplayer) MPlayer dev-SVN-rUNKNOWN-4.2.3 (C) 2000-2008 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz (Family: 15, Model: 2, Stepping: 9) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with runtime CPU detection.
