Howard, I wasn't able to get this to work. I tried defining the
HD-3000 SVideo input as both a v4l card as well as a pcHDTV card in
mythtv-setup. Neither worked. Additionally, I tried just running
mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0 which just give me the following:
[mythtv at mythtvbe ~]$ mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0
MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.4.3 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team

and here are my video entries in /dev
[mythtv at mythtvbe ~]$ ll /dev/vid*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 May 7 10:18 /dev/video -> video0
crw------- 1 mythtv root 81, 0 May 7 10:18 /dev/video0
crw------- 1 mythtv root 81, 1 May 7 15:24 /dev/video1
crw------- 1 mythtv root 81, 24 May 7 15:24 /dev/video24
crw------- 1 mythtv root 81, 32 May 7 15:24 /dev/video32
crw------- 1 mythtv root 81, 0 May 7 10:18 /dev/video4linux
Note that /dev/video1 plays just fine (my PVR250) as does DVB (via my
HD3000 OTA).
Does anyone know if this is something that is even supported (HD3000
SVideo Out)?
Thanks,
phlepper
