I tried the test "cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg" and opening it in mplayer |
| 30 |
and all I got was the blank screen. I tried it with /dev/video24 and |
| 31 |
got static and with /dev/video32 I got weird polygonal images. I think |
| 32 |
mythfrontend is freezing up after that 1.5 seconds because it takes |
| 33 |
awhile to get back to the menu screen. Why is /dev/video spitting out |
| 34 |
nothing now, when it was just fine before I followed the mythtv howto? |
