--liOOAslEiF7prFVr Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Amancio Hasty: |I would like if fxtv had accelerators for punching the channel number |for instance if I placed the cursor in the display window if I key in |12 <enter>, fxtv tunes to channel 12. Right now the channel input |is a little awkward. In leui of this feature (for now), you may find videoWin translations like these useful: <Key>F1 : TVSetChannel( 3 ) \n\ <Key>F2 : TVSetChannel( 5 ) \n\ <Key>F3 : TVSetChannel( 8 ) \n\ ... <Key>F9 : TVSetChannel( 61 ) \n\ This meets my needs, since I don't have cable. But your suggestion is a good one for folks with satellite and/or cable. Consider it on the list. |When changing resolutions please check the error return status also try |to change the width in increments of 4 and the height in increments of 2. All ioctl returns are already being checked, and fxtv ensures that capture width and height are both multiples of 2, since that's the condition that's checked for in the SETGEO ioctl. Did you mistype when you said "4" for width? |1. Try to use yuv for mpeg encoding it should speed up video capture and | mpeg encoding also it should not be hard to implement given | all the work that has gone into fxtv to support video capture. Had this on the list from your previous request. Don't have it very high though since RGB does everything I need. Wouldn't really save capture bandwidth since, if you're running in 15- or 16-bit, RGB16 capture is being used. Probably would speed up image save and encoding though; don't have a feel for how much since I've never tried it. It's on the list. |2. It would be nice if fxtv sports a better look and feel | and a widget to change the gamma and contrast. Better look and feel? Need more detail here. Gamma and contrast -- have you tried Input->Appearance? You got sliders for these guys. Admittedly I need to implement the text field key-ins sometime. Been on my list. |3. design a cool icon for fxtv -- we all want to show off fxtv 8) Hmmm, that's a thought. I'm not much of an artist though. Maybe somebody on the list with some real artistic talent could try their hand. Of course, it should be 48x48 with transparency to look cool on the AfterStep window manager. :-) BTW, I thought about implementing TV-in-icon, but figured that would just be a whiz-bang. Seriously, who in their right mind would watch TV in a 30x30 pixel window. I've attached the icon I use for TV on my box. See if you like that. It comes with the standard Afterstep icon distribution. <PLUG ALERT> Speaking of showing off TV in FreeBSD, here's a snap of my desktop with that icon and TV in action: http://multiverse.com/~rhh/rhh_desktop.jpg </PLUG ALERT> Thanks for the suggestions.
