Hi! I managed to stream a tv channel with ffmpeg but I have a problem. How can i configure the v4l2 device for a specifig channel/frequency, volume etc. remotely with some command line tool, without starting for example tvtime or xawtv? I tried this: v4lctl -v 1 setinput Television setnorm PAL setchannel 28 volume mute off But it doesnt work :( The output is: Xvideo: 2 adaptors available. Xvideo: video4linux: input video, ports 69-69 Xvideo: skipping ports 69-69 (configured other: -1) Xvideo: ATI Radeon Video Overlay: input image, ports 70-70 Xvideo: no usable video port found vid-open: trying: v4l2-old... vid-open: failed: v4l2-old vid-open: trying: v4l2... v4l2: open v4l2: device info: saa7134 0.2.8 / LifeView FlyVIDEO3000 @ PCI:00:09.0 vid-open: ok: v4l2 freq: reading /usr/local/xawtv-3.85/share/xawtv/Index.map freq: newtab 5 freq: reading /usr/local/xawtv-3.85/share/xawtv/europe-west.list freq: reading /usr/local/xawtv-3.85/share/xawtv/ccir-i-iii.list freq: reading /usr/local/xawtv-3.85/share/xawtv/ccir-sl-sh.list freq: reading /usr/local/xawtv-3.85/share/xawtv/ccir-h.list freq: reading /usr/local/xawtv-3.85/share/xawtv/uhf.list v4l2: tuner cap: STEREO LANG1 LANG2 v4l2: tuner rxs: MONO STEREO LANG1 LANG2 v4l2: tuner cur: STEREO cmd: "setinput" "Television" "setnorm" "PAL" "setchannel" "28" "volume" "mute" "off" v4l2: close What else should I configure? If I start tvtime then quit, ffmpeg streams fine. -- Robert L. RAKSI -- The Microsoft of Borg: Patches Are Futile! --
