Change Channels within VLC for TV-tuner cards.

Postby plb » 19 Aug 2006 17:57

Is it possible to be able to control various tv tuner cards via VLC? For instance to change the channel with PVR cards you call "ivtv-tune -c channel number" I'd love a feature where this can be controlled from within VLC so I don't have to keep dropping to the commandline.

I'm thinking about the same thing... I've tried to set a frequency (given by ivtv-tune output) in VLC PVR parameters, but this did not change the channel :cry:

Use playlist, add all channels to there.

The problem is that adding "channels" to the playlist will just end up with a playlist showing n times the same program...

As I said, setting a frequency in PVR tab does not change the channel, only ivtv-tune seems to work

Changing channels within VLC is a must!
I am using DScaler for my analog needs, but VLC has the streaming possibility and I am in need of that too, so...Bump

VLC was not intended as a PVR and only the most clever of users have made it that.

Presently VLC only accepts a channel and not a frequency.

There is also a desire for DVB support. All that it takes is manpower and time with a knowledge of programing and a desire to build or rebuild a module. In the mean time the source code is available to anyone with a desire and changes or patches are always welcomed.
