Problems
- MPlayer plays no videos when the first DVB card has no MPEG decoder. Try to alter dev/adapter0 in libvo/vo_mpegpes.c of the MPlayer sources
- If some video are displayed in black and white, it might be your TV doesn't support NTSC. Try to set the NTSC option in /usr/local/bin/mplayer.sh.conf to false.
- Does not work for DVDs and (S)VCDs.
