[vdr] mplayer and v4l interface [ off topic ? ]

[DOm <angelus.dei@tiscalinet.it>]

Hi,

i would to ask if it is possible to watch television on the monitor
using mplayer and dvb v4l devices ( /dev/video0 etc. )
I use xawtv with no problems but i'm not able to use mplayer and the
relatively new -tv option with dvb drivers and v4l.

More precisely the question is:
is mplayer capable of grabbing v4l output format of dvb drivers?
And if yes, how to do this ?

I know this is perhaps a mplayer-related question, but i hope you
tolerate me :)

Greetings,
    Angelus.

Sorry for my english...
