I re-installed v4l-dvb-4c7466ea8d64.tar.bz2, as suggested on the wiki. The extracted files are in /lib/modules/["kernel version"]/kernel/drivers/media with today's installation date.

I am trying to set up analog viewing through my cable provider. tvtime.xml is set to video0. It still gives me an excellent picture but no sound. video1 just gives me a black screen - no sound. On mplayer device=/dev/video0 remains the same --terrible picture; no sound. mplayer device=/dev/video0 produces the error message 'vo: x11 uninit called but X11 not initialized..' and quits. The mplayer script I am using is a slightly modified copy of the command suggested on the wiki. Basically the info I submitted originally remains the same except the cx2388x modules are gone. Usually I like to work away at these kind problems until I conquer them myself. But I have been on this one for over two weeks and I am driving myself to distraction. I really do appreciate your time and advice. -- Regards Bill Fedora 10, Gnome 2.24.3 Evo.2.24.5, Emacs 22.3.1 -- video4linux-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:video4linux-list-request@redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
