[mythtv-users] PS2 connected to a PVR 350

[Franco]

Hello, I am continuing a thread that I started 50 days ago :-)
It was about connecting a PS2 to a Mythbox via a PVR 350

I've tried but I can only play /dev/video0 with mplayer,
all other devices (video16/24/32/48) result in errors.
Also, what I see in mplayer window is the last channel that 
was tuned by mythfrontend (if any), and NOT what is connected
to the video composite input of the PVR350.

How do I select the input that is acquired by the PVR 350 ?
I remember thare was a handy .pl program in the ivtv directory
but it's not there any more :-(
Is there a way to do it from within myth?

I had stated it when I opened the thread:

  P.S. For those who forgot my setup and wonder why I want to
  connect the PS2 to the mythbox, my mythbox has a DLP projector
  connected via a 10 meters special cable to the VGA output,
  and we wanted to play the games on the mega-screen :-)
  
  The projector is located on the roof on the opposite side
  of the room, so it is not possible to connect the PS2 directly
  to it... it has to be done via the mythbox


Cheers,
