Cheers, going through the new config again fixed the freevo problem, I just had to uncomment a line or two that I hadnt uncommented when I went through it the first time.
Now mplayer wont play anything, i copied the command freevo is trying to use and tried it in X, it said that the v4l driver isnt loaded. when I upgraded emerge also upgraded to mplayer 1.0something, I checked to make sure it deteceted v4l in the configure script and it did. I then thought It might be module related (bttv or videodev) so i did a reboot for good measure. Still nothing any ideas, again? oh I nearly forgot here is the command: /usr/bin/mplayer -vo xv,sdl,x11, -fs -nocache -slave tv:// -tv driver=v4l:freq=46.250:device=/dev/video0:input=0:norm=PAL:width=640:height=480:outfmt=yuy2 Cheers Patrick > Patrick Laitt wrote: >> I just upgraded to 1.5rc3 from 1.4 >> I am using gentoo >> when I try and watch a tv prog i get this. > > ... > >> line 175, in Play >> mpl = '--prio=%s %s -vo %s%s -fs %s -slave %s' % args >> TypeError: not enough arguments for format string >> >> >> I thought it might just be a misconfiguration on my part? >> anyone got any ideas? > > Do you override MPLAYER_ARGS in your local_conf.py?
