Hello,
We are 2 students that work on a project assigned by the university of
Vigo in Spain. The project consisits of building a set-top box for a
digital tv receiver on a linux platform.
The hardware used is a WINTV-DVB-s board.
Our task is to make a java program that can read the video information
stored in the dev/video0 .
Now we are using NutzTV to display the video information, while the main
program( in java) handles the data and sound. We have to make a similar
program like NutzTV, and integrate this code in the code of the main
program.
We think we need to use v4l , and combine it with the java code, using JNI.
Does anyone know the best way to do this? Or has anyone tried this? Or is
there a better (easier) way?
We found a program, JV4L, but this is only to capture frames, and is too
slow for real video.
thanks in advance...
Nick and Stefano
Nick
