Hi,

Does VLC supports streaming (or straight reading) of TV cards/Webcams? I am specifically thinking about DVB, Analog with HW encoding, Analog w/o HW encoding and USB devices.

Thanks for the information

Depends on the OS you're using.

Thanks

On the features page, I see that:
1. DVB is supported on Linux
2. Capture card w/ hardware Enc on Linux and Windows
3. Capture card w/o hardware Enc on Linux and Windows

Is there any plan to extend these? I am mostly interested by Win/Linux and would like to see a DVB support for both...

Is that likely to happen anytime soon?

Thanks for your time

Well VLC supports DVB card on windows provided that they have a direct show driver.

Thanks for the help.
