Also I am being lazy and didn't look at the rtl stuff. There are two parts making a tuner work with the plugin 1. Tune in a frequency 2. Playing the audio stream. Radioshark does not support the linux TV/radio tuner stanrd v4l and so there is a special command line application (shark2) which takes parameters: radio frequency and also led control. Once tune - the Radioshark audio is on a standard USBV audio and so "arecord" is used to play audio from the Radio shark. If your tuner implements v4l - then you will need to edit the SHARK.pm file and replace the "shark2" tuning instances with an v4l tuning executable such as ivtv-tune. Then you need to modify is the custom-convert.conf to get audio from your tuner - if it is standard USB audio - I guess custom-convert.conf "arecord" may need a few small changes to the parameters to suit your tuner.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54926 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
