mplayer + bktr

[Daniel O'Connor]

Hi,
I'm trying to use mplayer to watch TV and while it does work it has a few 
problems.

The first is that when you force it to capture audio (so mute and volume 
control work, or you can use mencoder) it does about 0.25 fps :( It doesn't 
appear to be using heaps of CPU or anything so I am not sure what the problem 
is.

The other is that it hitches when playing TV - it doesn't do this when viewing 
movies.

Has anyone else used mplayer for this? Do you see these problems? Anyone have 
any suggestions or solutions?

The PC is running 5.4 and is an 900Mhz Athlon. The TV card is some generic 
bktr card with no EEPROM.

I have the following in .mplayer/config if anyone is interested.

tv=driver=bsdbt848:input=1:norm=PAL:chanlist=australia:channels=2-ABC,7-SAS7,9-NINE,10-TEN,28-SBS

It would be nice to iron out this stuff because applying the mplayer post 
processing filters to TV makes it look much nicer :)
