1) First add DEBUG=1 to local_conf.py
2) Can you watch tv with => mplayer tv:// (and some options)
3) can you watch tv with freevo (take a show in the tvguide that is
currently running, else freevo will try to schedule it)
4) try to record manually, cut and paste the record command from the
logfile to a terminal, errors when you run this ? :
mencoder tv:// -tv
driver=v4l:input=0:norm=ntsc:channel=21:chanlist=us-cable:width=320:height=240:outfmt=yuy2:device=/dev/video0:adevice=/dev/dsp:audiorate=32000:forceaudio:forcechan=1:buffersize=64
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1200:keyint=30 -oac mp3lame
-lameopts br=128:cbr:mode=3 -ffourcc divx -endpos 1789 -o
/home/tv/01-03_03:30_Overnight_Outlook.avi
first time I setup freevo I forgot to compile mplayer without v4l / v4l2
driver support .......
