[mythtv-users] mplayer output lime green w/o sound

[Ryan Kehoe]

I am following Jaron Wilson's MythTV Howto for FC2 and am having success, 
thanks in no small part to the help from this list.  Jarod's documentation 
is great too.  I have installed and configured audio and video successfully 
but the video capture is presenting a problem.  I have followed the Howto, 
to the letter, regarding setting up a PVR-250 board.  The output from a 
capture is a solid green window and no audio.  What is more troubling is 
that this all worked great running FC1 and Jarod's old documentation.

Below is the output I am getting,  I am a complete linux newbie and it 
doesn't mean much to me since I don't know what the output should look like. 
  Any help troubleshooting this issue would be appreciated as I am 
completely at a loss for next steps.

Thanks in advance,
Ryan
