[MPlayer-users] Problems in viewing and encoding TV

[eric tanguy]

I tried to use shalvideo to record tv but i got some errors about drivers
and so on. So i tried just to watch tv with mplayer using :
mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l:width=640:height=480:outfmt=i420 -vc rawi420
-vo xv

and nothing but this message :

 As the V4L1 compatibility layer is broken, this may not work.
 If you encounter any problems, use driver=v4l2 instead.

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: demux_open
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't
and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible
bug.
