Hi, I tried without success: vlc -vvv v4l:/dev/video0 [...etc...] but it fails with a "can't access /dev/video*". I have a budget (skystar2) card, is that the reason why /dev/video* doesn't get available?
Correct. /dev/video provides full-frame video, completely uncompressed. Hence it only exists when using a full-featured card, because the card does the MPEG2 decode.
Ok, thank you Gavin.
Let me add some complexity and find out (before buying) more about it.
What if I add another board to my setup? I'm planning to buy a DVB-T (Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-t USB2) for terrestrial view. (http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/products/data_novatusb2.html)
I guess vdr supports this: 1xDVB-S + 1xDVB-T, but how does it handle it?, two vdr instances? or one instance and special channels.conf?
Would I get VLC access to /dev/video*? when Terrestrial channel is selected?
Anyone has this type of setup and is willing to share experience?
Thanks again, luis
