In the mean time I wonder if there is any way I can get dvb-t over usb working? (What I mean is, is the code *very* broken? I thought you've been using this for some time now?) My hardware died; and I picked up a ps3 to replace it. I was under the impression that a ps3 had enough "guts" to drive 2D (ie desktop or video) at 720p; but my experience is not the case. There is library in devlopement to accelerate video scaling etc called spumedialib, and there is a mplayer only driver which uses it. This means my short term goal is to try to get freevo2 working with it's native dvb-t code (recordserver, straight to mpeg2 right?); and use the new mplayer vo to drive it. I wonder if this is possible given the current state of code, or if a major rewrite is required before the tvdev for dvb will work? If it's just device discovery that's broken I should be able to hack my way around that..

Well, the whole tvdev needs a huge update, I'm suprised that it still works for some people. :) When I have some time I will create kaa.record3 and freevo-tvdev2 based on gstreamer and the dvb code from our GSoC student.

[Freevo-devel] freevo-tvdev question
Hi Team, I've just resolved an issue with installing kaa, and now I'm attempting to test my usb dvb-t card in freevo. I gather freevo-tvdev is the module for this task.. I've run freevo and can now get a display! Yay for fading. I've run freevo-tvserver and it runs fine in the background (have no xml yet, and haven't looked at setting channels etc yet). but when i run freevo-tvdev it seems to crash with a meaningfull error.. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo freevo-tvdev --fg INFO system(65): Detecting TV cards.

Yes. Just tested with xine-ui & kaffeine and dvb is working... Is there anything I've missed or have I just stumbled upon a limitation of the ubuntu running on a ps3?
