Does xine work without freevo ?
And for freevo you need at least xine-ui 0.9.22 and grab latest xine-lib
From personal experiences i think you better want to try out 1.3.4.
remove the cache files before starting the new version in
/var/cache/freevo.

Well aren't we all sometimes but no need to express that here,
devel-people are spending a lot of there spare time to make this working for you.
Not every specific hardware can be tested and from a software standpoint most
things have to be very recent.

Again does this work without freevo.

plugin.activate('video.mplayer')
plugin.remove('video.xine')
for mplayer
plugin.activate('video.xine')
for xine. (default IIRC)

Sounds like tuner problems. You can specify which tuner your capture card has when you insert the tuner module: modprobe tuner type=x You find the different values for type here: http://rcsl.inha.ac.kr/lxr/http/source/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST -- Eirik Meland A: Top posters.
