Has anyone had success getting Freevo to work with ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon cards? I know MythTV doesn't work with them, so I thought before I try I'd see if it was possible with Freevo.
I have TV out working using the stock 4.3.0 version of XFree86 on a Redhat 9 based system. As I recall it I followed the instructions in the http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/Radeon7000Page and set it up the "easy" way basically using the vesa driver - not the ati or radeon one! This allows me to use Freevo for music and watching pictures and movies.
But I guess what you _really_ want to do is to use it for capturing TV for either recording or viewing. I have not tried that yet though.
Because Freevo's TV capturing capabilities rely on external programs like either mplayer or tvtime for tv viewing it's more a question if we can get one of the external programs to work with the AIW Radeon card.
http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/hardware.html#aiw suggest that there could be problems doing that and I saw a similar note somewhere on the mplayer pages. But maybe since we are some people in the same boat we could help each other out and do something about it. I think there are a couple of options here:
1. Sort out the possible problems with the GATOS drivers that are mentioned on the tvtime page referred above to make it work with either tvtime or mplayer.
2. We could replace the mplayer/tvtime plugins in Freevo with something that works for the AIW Radeon like AVview from the Gatos project.
3. Maybe someone has another even better idea... :-)
BTW searching the http://gatos.sf.net project pages *just once more* for clues when writing this reply i happend to find this http://www.reades.com/radeon.html HOWTO which gives some hints on how to proceed with the GATOS stuff.
Any thoughts?
