Hi folks, after some debugging of mplayer, dvbstream 0.5 and tzap I found a fix for the problem. Adding the line feparams->u.qam.modulation = 9; just before the FE_SET_FRONTEND ioctl fixes mplayer (and dvbstream) No clue what I have done here, but it works for me(tm). ;-) Regards Markus -- Markus Germeier mager@tzi.de
