| + | to load module, have this in /etc/modules.conf | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | options saa7134 card=2 tuner=2 oss=1 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | # sound setup | ||
| + | I cannot stress how long it took me to finally get this, and I'm glad it does. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Here's my setup: | ||
| + | 1) audio cable from tv card out to line in on soundcard | ||
| + | 2) open kmix and | ||
| + | a) set Master to 100 | ||
| + | b) set Line to capture (red) and muted (green off) | ||
| + | c) set Capture to on (red and green) | ||
| + | 3) run this command: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | mencoder -tv driver=v4l2:norm=NTSC:audiorate=32000:forceaudio:forcechan=1:width=320:height=240:adevice=/dev/dsp -ovc lavc -oac lavc -endpos 5 tv://</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Make sure NOT to use dsp1. I still haven't found where that comes into play. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Alas, no workie with MythTV. If youre reading this months later -- the only option is to get a real tv card. Do it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | # loading the modules | ||
| + | CARD type and TUNER type both seem to be #2 | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | modprobe saa7134 card=2 tuner=2 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | To do it automatically: | ||
| + | |||
| + | vim /etc/modules.d/saa7134 | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | options card=2 tuner=2 | ||
| + | modules-update | ||
| + | modprobe saa7134</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | The video (right now) is blurry, but I think its my cable. The sound is | ||
| + | great. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Ok, in tvtime, I went to Setup: Input configuration: Horizontal | ||
| + | resolution and set it to Moderate and it fixed a lot of the fuzzy lines. | ||
| + | |||
| + | # tvtime program installs: | ||
| + | tvtime | ||
| + | tvtime-configure | ||
| + | tvtime-command | ||
| + | tvtime-scanner | ||
| + | |||
| + | # xawtv program: | ||
| + | pia fbtv showriff radio rootv xawtv v4l-conf v4l-info alevtd subtitles | ||
| + | xawtv-remote v4lctl record scantv showqt webcam ntsc-cc dump-mixers | ||
| + | propwatch streamer | ||
| + | |||
| + | # xawdecode program: | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | # sound | ||
| + | Can't get sound working for some reason, from TV card to sound card | ||
| + | input. | ||
| + | Turn IGAIN off. It causes horrible feedback. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This is the weirdest thing ever -- mute "Line In" in alsamixer and the | ||
| + | throughput from flyvideo audio out to sound card line in will work. I | ||
| + | can watch tvtime with sound now, but no luck with mythtv. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Add oss=1 to modprobe saa7134 options to have it use /dev/dsp1, an OSS | ||
| + | sound output | ||
| + | |||
| + | # change channels | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | use v4lctl: v4lctl setchannel <number> | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Can't seem to do it with mplayer. :( | ||
