Hi,
I'm trying to use mplayer to watch TV and while it does work it has a few=20
problems.

The first is that when you force it to capture audio (so mute and volume=20
control work, or you can use mencoder) it does about 0.25 fps :( It doesn't=
=20
appear to be using heaps of CPU or anything so I am not sure what the probl=
em=20
is.

The other is that it hitches when playing TV - it doesn't do this when view=
ing=20
movies.

Has anyone else used mplayer for this? Do you see these problems? Anyone ha=
ve=20
any suggestions or solutions?

The PC is running 5.4 and is an 900Mhz Athlon. The TV card is some generic=
=20
bktr card with no EEPROM.

I have the following in .mplayer/config if anyone is interested.

tv=3Ddriver=3Dbsdbt848:input=3D1:norm=3DPAL:chanlist=3Daustralia:channels=
=3D2-ABC,7-SAS7,9-NINE,10-TEN,28-SBS

It would be nice to iron out this stuff because applying the mplayer post=20
processing filters to TV makes it look much nicer :)
