How to Select composite from command line on a WinTV PVR 150

[Oban]

I can choose composite or tuner in crossbar selection in the GUI.
But I would like to do it from command line.

Is this possible

I have been searching the forum and it looks like others have the same problem. But I have not seen any solution.

I'm using Win XP and VLC 0.8.4a

I guess I'm the only one wanting to do this...

I am watching this too and will continue trying to get it working. Let me know what you've done?

It has been added last saturday to the svn. So you should get a nightly build.

Peter, I am hoping you can shed some light on this for me.
Selecting Composite or Tuner form the Crossbar selection? Where is that? I can select a "Directshow" device as the "Conexant Capture", but no where does it specify anything but TV/tuner settings as options.
I'm desperate to show my composite input.

I have played with Graphedit and can get a picture there so it must be possible .... if I can get the right settings?
Chat soon ...

Is it in 0.8.5 then? If so, I'm not seeing how to go about specifying it from the command line in any documentation?[/quote]

Hi...

To select the input you must put channel=number

0 is to Tuner
1 is to Composite
2 is S-Video

Example:

vlc -vvv pvr:/dev/video0:norm=ntsc:channel=1 --sout-display

you can try with 0, 1 or 2 that depend of the tv card

That won't work on windows though (But i'm sure that you can choose the channel somewhere in the directshow preferences somewhere in the windows VLC version too)
