--UugvWAfsgieZRqgk Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi, I am having a bit of trouble capturing/watching TV on my box. $ uname -a FreeBSD exxodus.fedaykin.here 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: Wed Apr 6 21:27:42 BRT 2005 root@exxodus.fedaykin.here:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LIOUX i386 For starters, neither fxtv nor xawtv work here. They both hard lock my system, it just freezes once I start either application. The system simply freezes. The power button does not work, I have to hit reset. I contacted fxtv's developer who told me that "Ouch. When this has happened in the past, it's typically been because the motherboard and/or video card isn't well supported by FreeBSD. Fxtv uses the very old trick of pointing the TV board output to the memory-mapped linear frame buffer of the video card "in the application". Back when it was written there wasn't any other option. Now we have Xv and other methods, which are much better and cleaner for TV apps to use. Fxtv was just never revised to use these." So I turned to mplayer :) Here goes my setup. I have satellite cable which means I cannot use the BrookTree's tunner since the tv input is encoded. I connected the satellite decoder to the video input connector. This is the mplayer line that is working: $ mplayer -tv driver=bsdbt848:noaudio:width=640:height=480:input=0:norm=ntsc tv:// 1) I was a getting enough image blurring to confuse codecs if I decided to record programming so I added some noise filtering $ mplayer -tv driver=bsdbt848:noaudio:width=640:height=480:input=0:norm=ntsc tv:// -vf hqdn3d or $ mplayer -tv driver=bsdbt848:noaudio:width=640:height=480:input=0:norm=ntsc tv:// -vf pp=hb/vb/dr/al 2) Every few seconds the video stream seems to choke; thus, giving me an effect similar to the famous interlaced "blinders effect" so I added a deinterlacer filter $ mplayer -tv driver=bsdbt848:noaudio:width=640:height=480:input=0:norm=ntsc tv:// -vf filmdint or $ mplayer -tv driver=bsdbt848:noaudio:width=640:height=480:input=0:norm=ntsc tv:// -vf pp=lb So the mixed lines were: $ mplayer -tv driver=bsdbt848:noaudio:width=640:height=480:input=0:norm=ntsc tv:// -vf hqdn3d,filmdint or $ mplayer -tv driver=bsdbt848:noaudio:width=640:height=480:input=0:norm=ntsc tv:// -vf pp=hb/vb/dr/al/lb However, I am getting poor performance. The video stream seems to stutter. I would prefer not to loose a lot of resolution but I would appreciate any help on how to maintain a good compromise of performance vs quality. Only compromise enough quality to achieve a smooth video stream (standard fps without chokes). Furthermore, I am not sure how can I get audio input. I can listen to dvds, mp3s, ogms just fine though. I connected the audio output to the mic connector of the audigy sound card. Nonetheless, I am not sure how can I hear this audio. Yeah, I am a bit clueless. :) I am using the latest audigy driver found at http://chibis.persons.gfk.ru/audigy/ I used the following commands mixer rec 100 ## set record bus volume emuctrl amp 4 ## amplify every input four times emuctrl set out13 100 ## set recording volume for DSP output emuctrl rset in6 100 ## set recording volume for DSP input wavrec test.wav ## record 10s using wavrec from ports/audio/wavplay port. However, I got nothing :( $ cat /dev/emu10kx0 FreeBSD EMU10Kx Audio Driver Hardware resource usage: DSP General Purpose Registers: 154 used, 512 total DSP Instruction Registers: 168 used, 1024 total Card supports AC97 codec and 5.1 output, Audigy DSP code with Audigy2 hacks Installed devices: EMU10Kx Mixer Interface on emu10kx0 FX BUSes Inputs Outputs Playback 1 8 18 Recording 1 8 0 EMU10Kx PCM Interface on pcm0 Analog mode, S/PDIF output is PCM stereo $ cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: <EMU10Kx PCM Interface> on emu10kx0 (16p/1r/4v channels duplex default) Help!!! :) Anyone?
