The standar linux kernel uses the *old* v4l interface. The development kernel 2.5.x uses the *new* v4l2 api that now supports DVB cards, webcams, encoding cards,etc. properly. So you have two choices: 1) patch linux kernel 2.4.20 with the apropriated v4l2 patches, so you can get the kernel-dvb CVS branch from linuxtv.org. Or: 2) Use a development kernel (in feature freeze AFAIK) with kernel-dvb and v4l2 already in there. Of course every development kernel is always a bit *experimental* so your mileage may very ;-) Greetings, Jean-Paul Saman. -- This is the vls-devel mailing-list, see http://www.videolan.org/streaming/ To unsubscribe, please read http://developers.videolan.org/lists.html If you are in trouble, please contact <[email protected]>
