TV out problem

[joachim]

lastly I updated to Zaxxon 1.55 and tried my TV-out cable.

Everything seems fine,but when I tried to watch videos there was no

video on external screen. This was tested with different videos and players. And something strange happened : the video screen (in player) on LCD also went black. I had to switch GUI (minimenu) and after activating TV-out same problem. For XFCE I had to reboot to watch video again. I checked with Slackware and here I got also a black video on external screen. Luckily here the LCD worked fine.

So where is the problem (btw  overlay mode didn´t work)?

thanks for help

Thats normal,try to set the Videoplayer to play in X11 output.


It plays little slower then,but your player work then with TV Out.


Had that Problem in the past too.


SMplayer work fine here with TV Out.


I have also a Video with SMPlayer2 in my Youtube account where was recorded with TV-Out.


Try differrent output settings,maybe you find a better way,but x11 output work fine here

thanks for your help, now it's working fine. In Slackware I could also use VLC Player (v1) and get output even for DVB-T ! Sometimes vlc is needed because the others won't play all formats.

What would be nice is a TV app for Slackware  (EPG and recording functions).

Thanks for the info.

Right now I am using MeTV with Pan OS but EPG is not working ( i know theres Tv Browser, but here some things are strange e.g. arte is in french) and it would be nice to check the info and just click for recording and have start/stop correct.
