This wiki is designed to serve as a community focus and the resource of reference for users and developers of the Video4Linux framework. In the short term, the task is to document the operation and quirks of hardware supported by v4l applications, to complement and offload the [https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list v4l mailing list] -- cf. [http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-video searchable archives].
This wiki is intended to serve as a community focus and reference source for the projects covered under the LinuxTV umbrella/framework. It is hoped that this Wiki will, in time, become an authoritative source of information and support regarding the use of [[analog TV|analog]] video and [[digital TV]] sources on Linux.


Whether that goal is achieved depends very much upon fellow users and developers such as yourself. Like all other wikis, the LinuxTV wiki relies upon the contributions of its users, and therefore will only be as useful as we make it. As every user of LinuxTV is bound to know something useful in relation to the project's coverage, we encourage you to help with the task of turning this site into a repository of knowledge.
We are also encouraging developers to turn this site into a repository of knowledge about v4l, helping to ensure that expertise acquired through much hard labor and long dedication won't get lost, but can be passed on to new developers and keep free software thriving.


Whether it be by providing a set of instructions for how to get a certain device working; a minor improvement to an existing article; or an explanation for some complex concept -- whatever knowledge you can provide will be highly appreciated. Help ensure that your expertise acquired through dedication and hard work doesn't get lost in the ether, but can instead be passed on to new developers and users alike, and can help to keep free software thriving.

====Before you Begin====
The wiki will only be as useful as we make it. Every user of video4linux has something to contribute, and we encourage you to begin right away. Whatever you can contribute will be warmly appreciated, whether it is a set of instructions for how to get a certain card working, a report on the audio and video quality of a working card, suggestions for how to extend an existing driver or write a new one, or an explanation of the internal logic of v4l itself.
But before you jump in and make your contribution, please first familiarize yourself with the layout of the site. Doing so will likely help you get your information placed in the right location. As the wiki grows, it takes an increasing amount of effort and discipline to keep it from quickly turning into a tangled mess. So it's up to each of us to make sure the information submitted is easy for everybody to find and access.


That said, it is important not to feel offended if, by chance, your contribution is moved to another area of the wiki or if the contents of your entry are edited. Everyone understands and appreciates the time and efforts you took, but bear in mind that a factual and well-organized resource for everyone interested in analog or digital TV is the ultimate aim of the LinuxTV wiki. Contributors should also bear in mind not to reproduce or submit copyrighted works without obtaining the express consent of the owner or its agent.

This is my sandbox. My intention should be pretty clear from the content.



Welcome to the LinuxTV Wiki !

This wiki is intended to serve as a community focus and reference source for the projects covered under the LinuxTV umbrella/framework. It is hoped that this Wiki will, in time, become an authoritative source of information and support regarding the use of analog video and digital TV sources on Linux.

Whether that goal is achieved depends very much upon fellow users and developers such as yourself. Like all other wikis, the LinuxTV wiki relies upon the contributions of its users, and therefore will only be as useful as we make it. As every user of LinuxTV is bound to know something useful in relation to the project's coverage, we encourage you to help with the task of turning this site into a repository of knowledge.

Whether it be by providing a set of instructions for how to get a certain device working; a minor improvement to an existing article; or an explanation for some complex concept -- whatever knowledge you can provide will be highly appreciated. Help ensure that your expertise acquired through dedication and hard work doesn't get lost in the ether, but can instead be passed on to new developers and users alike, and can help to keep free software thriving.

Before you Begin

But before you jump in and make your contribution, please first familiarize yourself with the layout of the site. Doing so will likely help you get your information placed in the right location. As the wiki grows, it takes an increasing amount of effort and discipline to keep it from quickly turning into a tangled mess. So it's up to each of us to make sure the information submitted is easy for everybody to find and access.

That said, it is important not to feel offended if, by chance, your contribution is moved to another area of the wiki or if the contents of your entry are edited. Everyone understands and appreciates the time and efforts you took, but bear in mind that a factual and well-organized resource for everyone interested in analog or digital TV is the ultimate aim of the LinuxTV wiki. Contributors should also bear in mind not to reproduce or submit copyrighted works without obtaining the express consent of the owner or its agent.

Submitters should know that, to keep the information contained in the wiki free, all contributions are automatically licensed under the GNU General Public License GPL. If you wish, you may specify in each case that your contribution is dual-licensed under the MIT License.

Lastly, to help keep the wiki free from spam, contributors are required to set up an account and to sign in before they can post to the wiki. (This is a painless process that only takes a few seconds).

Now enjoy and have fun! -- The LinuxTV WikiTeam People behind V4L


We want to aggregate information about available hardware, v4l experiences, HOWTOs, and technical information about the workings of v4l devices work, hardware quirks, software applications The basic plan is to collect facts about available hardware, v4l or dvb experiences, HOWTOs, encyclopedia-like information and explanations about how v4l and dvb work, what an EPG is and so on,

Save and share knowledge. '


Information Centre

If you didn't find what you were looking for in the wiki, please try searching the mailing list archives first, before asking a question on the v4l mailing list. You may also be able to get immediate help on the #v4l irc channel on irc.freenode.net -- hopefully someone there will be able to help you! Don't leave your question on the wiki -- ask on the mailing list! to complement and offload the v4l mailing list -- cf. searchable archives.
