Re: [Freevo-users] TV not working via Watch TV - ok via mplayer
Please ignore my message! I had some double quote characters in the MPLAYER arguments (because I have multiple DVB-T/DVB-S cards and I needed to add an argument to specify the card # and I put double quotes around the dvbin card argument). It didn't look wrong in the debug output but it obviously messed up the mplayer command. Working now!!!

[Freevo-users] TV not working via Watch TV - ok via mplayer
Hi everybody, I'm new to Freevo (but I've been using another well known Linux based PVR for a few years now but my wife has had enough of an unstable system so I'm trying Freevo instead). The installation went fine with DVB-T and the RT XMLTV grabber. If I try Watch TV -> TV Guide -> CHANNEL the screen goes black for a second and then back to the program guide again. BUT, at a shell prompt, if I copy & paste the mplayer command that the Freevo log [/var/log/freevo/main-1000.log] shows the TV station plays fine for me. I don't see any other interesting debug log output. Does anyone know why this would/could be happening? thanks very much Derek -- Derek C In Ireland -- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
