If you can cat /dev/video0 and get a valid stream then the driver is working. If mplayer still displays blank video on /dev/video0 then you've got mplayer set up wrong (or there's some kind of problem with mplayer). What happens if you do this: cat /dev/video0 >/tmp/foo.mpg # Wait a little while then hit ^C mplayer /tmp/foo.mpg Do you get useable video in that case? > > Jan 15 22:27:05 vaohybrid kernel: [10783.878071] firmware: requesting > v4l-cx25840.fw > Jan 15 22:27:07 vaohybrid kernel: [10785.566434] cx25840' 0-0044: > loaded v4l-cx25840.fw firmware (12559 bytes) > Jan 15 22:27:18 vaohybrid kernel: [10796.169487] cx25840' 0-0044: > 0x0000 is not a valid video input! When the HVR-1950 is in digital mode, the cx25840 is not used. At those times it could potentially be fed an invalid input routing. I've known about this for a while, but it's completely benign (and not trivial to fix) so I haven't done anything about it. -Mike -- Mike Isely isely @ pobox (dot) com PGP: 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
