V4L support?

S

Speedy

I have a supported TV card and after installing the driver there is /dev/cxm0. I can cat from it and it works. However, there is no /dev/video0 and MythTV is not working as a result. How can I enable/install support for V4L?
 
Hi, look here; MythTV - FreeBSD. It is a wiki site contains information about MythTV on FreeBSD. You can find here some interesting information about Dependencies, Setup etc. It is worth to look.
There is interesting description of multimedia/mythtv port;
mythtv description said:
MythTV requires tuner drivers which support the V4L standard.
Currently no official FreeBSD driver does so, but the latest version
of a beta version of the cxm driver is available from
http://usleepless.110mb.com/pvrxxx_port-10042007.tgz. Problems
have been reported with this port]
There is a one more site, which you should read. This is a guide written by Greg 'Groggy' Lehey , who is also the author of fantastic book about FreeBSD. MythTV on FreeBSD HOWTO.
I hope that it will be useful for you.

By the way, you can also look here; multimedia/v4l_compat, multimedia/libv4l, multimedia/pvrxxx and multimedia/pvr250. V4L support for FreeBSD.
