VLC, TV and NTSC

[dignified]

I have finally got cable to stream, but all I am getting is green fuzz. I dont know the frequency ranges for us-cable. Here is the line I am using to stream.

vlc -vvv v4l:/dev/video:norm=ntsc:frequency=543:size=640x480:channel=0:adev=/dev/dsp:audio=0 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=3000,ab=256,vt=800000,keyint=80,deinterlace}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=192.168.0.161}'

-thanks, ryan

actually I used tvtime-scanner and that works pretty well it searches all the channels. So you just take whatever number it gives as a channel and multiply it by 1000

how about you start with something simpler?

a small mpeg file for instance?

vlc -vvv --sout '#std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=192.168.0.161}' movie.mpg

then try adding transcoding get that to work then try adding the v4l parameter. Which you of course first tested on the server machine itself to see it actually produces what you expect.
