RE: [Freevo-users] ATI All In Wonder Radeon
TV wonder VE does NOT need any ATI drivers. it is a standard Bt878 card and only need the BT878 drivers from the kernel installed and running. in fact I have found that the TV wonder VE is the most reliable to get working under linux ( compared to the 6000 different brands of BT878) but there is one problem with the VE... it must be patched to the soundcard. i still cant get the bt audio to work with the device... -Original Message- From: Per Homer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 11:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] ATI All In Wonder Radeon Hi Josh, I too am having problems getting the capture working, but on an ATI TV Wonder VE.

Unfortunately the timing for me is bad right now as I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks tomorrow :-) Also I must admit that after my vacation my highest Freevo related priority is setting up remote control either using Bluetooth via a cellphone or using some home made hardware. But after that I'm interested in getting TV capture running. So maybe we can work on this together then.

Sort out the possible problems with the GATOS drivers that are mentioned on the tvtime page referred above to make it work with either tvtime or mplayer. 2. We could replace the mplayer/tvtime plugins in Freevo with something that works for the AIW Radeon like AVview from the Gatos project. 3.
