So am I :(. I have posted on several forums about this pb without any concrete answer. I can see two solutions: 1) Find a small team continue the work on xawtv4. It is not too late. 2) tvtime! This software is just great *but* the maintainer said he is *not* going 'to transform it into an mpeg player'. Well, V4L2 is *the* video norm in linux kernel and, at this day, only xawtv4 try to handle the whole norm :( pvrusb2 is great but we really need a good (read also small ;)) application to watch tv on linux. Could we post again on the tvtime list ? There is really a point to add mpeg support in tvtime but we need people asking for this support on the mailling list. Using mplayer and a python/qt script to write in /sys is a not solution for a 'standard' user :( Any comments? Xavier > > One question : Does mythtv run in a resizable windows??
