I've used Freevo for quite a while, but I just now purchased a pvr-250 and am trying to get tv watching working... it's not going well. From what I have read using a pvr-250 should just basically work, so perhaps I'm doing something stupid. I am running FC3 and Freevo 1.5.3.

When I try try to view a channel from the tv guide, I get a black window for a moment and then I return to the guide. If I manually run the mplayer command I see:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# mplayer -vo x11, -fs -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100 -screenw 800 -screenh 600 -fs -slave -nocache tv:// -tv driver=v4l:freq=77.250:device=/dev/video0:input=0:norm=NTSC:width=640:height=480:outfmt=yuy2

Opening joystick device /dev/input/js0 Can't open joystick device /dev/input/js0 : No such file or directory Can't init input joystick Playing tv://. TV detected! ;-) No such driver: v4l


Exiting... (End of file)

I also tried v4l2 as the driver with the same result. xawtv does not appear to wrok either.

In my xorg log I see:

(II) LoadModule: "v4l"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/linux/v4l_drv.o
(II) Module v4l: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
   compiled for 6.8.2, module version = 0.0.1
   ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.7


and if I run v4l-conf I see:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# v4l-conf
v4l-conf: using X11 display :0.0
dga: version 2.0
mode: 1024x768, depth=24, bpp=32, bpl=4096, base=0xe0000000
/dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support


So it seems like I have vl4 loaded ok. If I run mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0 mplayer will get video off the pvr 250, so the card is functional. Basically I am stumped. Searching the mailing list and google has failed to turn up anything I can identify as a solution.


Any ideas out there?

Many thanks,
Davin
