Hauppauge 950Q Analog (Composite Input) Problem

Hauppauge 950Q Analog (Composite Input) Problem

[John R.]

Hello,

Actually, I am trying to use the analog composite input (not cable 
television) working.  Is this part of analog support?  Or is that for 
analog cable only?

When I hook a video source up to the composite RCA jack and "mplayer 
/dev/video" it presents the following:

MPlayer dev-SVN-r26753-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2008 MPlayer Team
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.20GHz (Family: 6, Model: 13, 
Stepping: 8)
CPUflags:  MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1
Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2

Playing /dev/video.

It just sits there.  Typing "cat /dev/video" does not produce any output.

Linux aqui 2.6.29.2.  I am running hvr950q-analog-1bbabf78f9ef 
(downloaded a couple days ago).

 From log output everything seems good:

Hello John,

That's not really how v4l2 capture works, in particular with devices
that do not provide an mpeg stream (you cannot just run "mplayer
/dev/video0").  You're not actually doing any sort of input selection,
so how are you expecting the driver to know to capture on the
composite input?

I would suggest you give the man page for mplayer a read, in
particular the options related to driver=v4l2.  If you still have
questions, email the ML.

Cheers,

Devin

Thanks.  Devin's response got me through the basic stuff I was missing. 
  Yours should help quite a bit in getting sound to work.  For anyone 
that is working with composite input, here is a sample invocation for 
video only:

mplayer tv:// -tv 
driver=v4l2:input=1:norm=ntsc:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0 -vo xv
