The VideoLAN Forums

Hello

I am a newbe to videolan . I am trying to stream composite video from my tv tuner card (pixel view play tv pro) . I had installed the card and i can see the video coming through the composite video interface using xawtv. i configured video lan as follows

cd vls-0.5.6
./configure --enable-v4l --with-ffmpeg=/usr/sbin
make
make install

everything went fine here


But whenever iam running the server using the command
vls -vv -f /usr/local/etc/videolan/vls/vls.cfg

iam geting the following messages
