I sent this message to freebsd-questions, but didn't recieve any
responses at all.
I'm having quite a problem trying to get MPlayer to display TV on
FreeBSD. I've tried it on 4.7, 4.8, and 5.1, with the exact same
results everywhere. When I try to play it, I get nothing but a blue
window. When I try to encode/dump it, MPlayer/Mencoder exit with an
error of: "Couldn't find matching colorspace - retrying with -vop
scale..." "Sorry, selected video_out device is incompatible with this
codec." "Can't find codec matching selected -vo and video format
0x59565955!" and "Exiting..."
I can assure you that there is no videocard problem. I have tried two
different AGP cards (ATI Rage128 and Nvidia GeForce4), and XV, SDL, GL,
etc, all work perfectly for anything other than TV-viewing. Besides, a
videocard problem wouldn't account for my inability to record/encode.
I have /modules/bktr_mem.o and bktr.o loading at startup
(/boot/kernel/bktr_mem.o and bktr.o for FreeBSD 5.1), and FXTV works
quite well with it. I've had it working fine under a couple different
Linux 2.4.xx distros with Mplayer, albeit using v4l, not bktr.
On FreeBSD 4.7, I have gone so far as to having written a script that
tried every possible combination of "hw.bt848.card=" and
"hw.bt848.tuner=", and trying to get mplayer to encode a few seconds of
video using each setting. That just leaves me with a buch of 0B output
files.
The card in question is a K-World "KW-TV878RF-PRO". My DMESG is below.
The command-line I typically use to launch mplayer is: "mplayer -tv
on:driver=bsdbt848:input=0:width=640:height=480:norm=NTSC:chanlist=us-cable:channel=11",
although I've tried plenty of minor variations by now, such as trying
all the different "outfmt=" settings, just about every resolution, etc.
This is something I really need to be able to do, but this has been
quite a stumbling block so far. It doesn't help that every result I
find searching through google is someone saying how well MPlayer works
at displaying TV (D'oh!). Any help you can offer is appreciated.
