is that with the card=2 option set ?

If so, as I said .. back to SeZo and Mint .. with a suggestion you try using stace to see where VLC/Cheese/Xawtv is stumbling.

Heck, I'm not even sure if cheese can be used for capturing from a capture card  :o

Cheese stopped opening again untill I typed "sudo modprobe -r bttv" into the terminal then it will open but if I type the second command (sudo modprobe bttv card=2) I get the terminal error I posted earlier

As I said this is going to get confusing .. so go back to Mint

did you say you could get a picture in Cheese in Mint .. but when you hit record it crashed ?

is there a way to set the video and audio capture devices in cheese ?

I'm not sure there isnt a lot of options as I remember in the preferences

Anyway I think we should call it a day, I dont know about you but Meh heids burst , and I'm working tomorrow, so I'm not sure if I can continue with this tomorrow as I have a lot on but we can sort this out next year if you ans SeZo don't mind , so If i can't get online tomorrow have a great new year and dont drink too much of that Jack Daniels and you too SeZo I can't thank you both enough for all the effort you've put into this  have a good time and all the best for 2013

Many Many thanks for all your help

@ SeZo

we were just massing wit cheese in Peppermint to see if we could get that running .. He can go back to Mint if you like

Thinking about it, it may be a good idea to start a seperate topic for Cheese and capture in Peppermint, so it doesn't become too confusing.

Waddaya reckon ?

Sorry guys, was just reading through the posts when I got disconnected and it did take up till now before I was able to re-connect (ISP problem)

@Emegra
I think for the new year we should establish a stable platform when the video loads EVERY time and then we can start sorting out minor things like audio  etc. ;)

Hope you have a  good new year

Hi guys hope you all enjoyed the new year celebrations

Just to recap from where we left off in Mint,

VLC will play video although there is still no sound and before it will load video I have to first tune the signal with xawtv, once that's done it's stable, it will also convert & save although picture quality isn't the best

xawtv will play video & audio but will not record and fails with this error

Code: [Select]
graeme@Linux1 ~ $ xawtv
This is xawtv-3.102, running on Linux/i686 (3.5.0-17-generic)
xinerama 0: 1600x900+0+0
vid-open-auto: using analog TV device /dev/video0
WARNING: No DGA direct video mode for this display.
WARNING: keeping fbuf pitch at: 6400, as no base addr was detected
WARNING: couldn't find framebuffer base address, try manual
         configuration ("v4l-conf -a <addr>")
v4l2: WARNING: framebuffer base address mismatch
v4l2: me=(nil) v4l=(nil)
Alsa devices: cap: (null) (/dev/video0), out: default
oss: open /dev/dsp: No such file or directory

Cheese will play video (only once the signal has been tuned it by xawtv) no audio, and will crash if I attempt to record with this error

Many thanks

Graeme

Just as a matter of interest, what happens if you try starting xawtv with:
Code: [Select]
padsp xawtv
or
Code: [Select]
aoss xawtv

does sound now work ?

Hi Mark

Sound isn't a problem in xawtv, but if you meant do I get sound in VLC after loading  xawtv the answer is no it makes no difference with either of the commands , I just get a horrible muffled noise coming through the speakers

No .. I meant would xawtv "record" sound when started with those commands.

and if not .. does the error message change ?


@ SeZo

According to this:
http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_xawtv.htm

you can change the xawtv dsp from /dev/dsp (default) with -C <device> or -devdsp <device> .. but I ain't got a clue what /dev/dsp became in ALSA/PulseAudio .. any ideas ?

That would indicate that there is no capture device set for alsa

Could you try again with xawtv -debug 1, but this time plug the audio lead into the Mic socket
Also try in VLC to see if the Mic was set for capture

Also could you post the output:
Code: [Select]
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --list-ctrls
