OK, I got this one: in ~/.mplayer/config :
tv=driver=bsdbt848:width=768:height=576:device=/dev/vbi:input=1:norm=PAL:chanlist=europe-east:channels=E8-Antena1,E9-TVR1,E11-TVR2,SE19-B1,SR2-NationaTV,E10-Prima,E12-ProTV,SE3-NationalTv,25-TVRCultural,SE11-AXN,SE6-Halmark,SE10-Cartoon/TCM,22-ProCinema,SE4-RealitateaTv,SE7-A3,27-N24,37-EuroNews,S23-BBCWorld,23-CNN,SE17-EuroSport,SE18-Discovery,24-Senso,SE5-NationaGeographic,SE14-AnimalPlanet,S22-Mezzo,SE8-TvK,E5-U,SE15-Animax/CherryMusic,26-VH1,SE2-MTv,28-TV5,S26-F2,SE20-Jetix/ESPN,S25-Extreme,29-Explorer,30-FashionTv,32-Romantica,33-DDTV,35-Duna,36-RaiUno,E6-RCS,E7-Acasa,SE16-OTv,S27-TVE,S28-Pro7,S29-TeleShop,21-EtnoTV,S21-CanalTeleshopTv,S24-RTL:audioid=1
This sets:
- the driver to out bktr
- width and height for PAL
- input device (works also with /dev/vbi0, /dev/bktr and /dev/bktr0
- TV card input source - for me this is the TV tuner
- norm - we're using PAL
- chanlist tels what set of (lowest frequency, channel width and space between
channels) to use
- channels are the TV channels provided by my cable operator
(RDS-Romania-Bucharest "Baza" package), in pairs of
channel_id-channel_name; the channel ids are obtained from my
~/.xawtv and the channel name is input by hand (actually also from
xawtv and some grep / paste)
- audioid tels the TV card to use "Internal" as sound source
Now I can play the TV with mplayer like:
mplayer tv:// - it starts with the first channel from the list (E8 - Antena1)
mplayer tv:/3 - it starts with the third channel (E11 - TVR2)
mplayer tv://Discovery - yup, you've got it.
The image quality is much better that when using XawTV, MoTV or XdTV
( I suspect it is a resolution (anyway X config) problem). One little
problem is that while mplayer is on, when changing to an other app
(window) the colors go nuts, parts of the image displayed while mplayer
was on-top are super imposed on that window (konsole) (overlay
problem ?).
What I didn't manage to make it work is controlling the volume from
inside mplayer; I have the TV Card audio-out connected to line-in of
the sound card. And the sound is a little desync'ed
