[Mplayer-dvb] mplayer can't open DVB VIDEO DEVICE

[Javier Marcet]

    Hi everybody,
	
I don't know what I'm doing wrong with mplayer, but right now I
can't make it work with my DVB-s 1.3 card. I know I could use the
mpegpes video and audio output in the past, but I can't anymore.
Mplayer has been compiled with DVB support, it detects correctly
the headers - which are on /usr/src/DVB -, but later on it can't open
the DVB device.

I am stuck on it since the error report is anything but verbose.

If you have any hint I'd appreciate any kind of feedback.


Here is what I get when calling mplayer from console:

$mplayer -vo mpegpes -ao mpegpes /video/Spin_City/_/2002-08-27.19\:39.90.99.rec/001.vdr
