Nvtv + xine

I would like to use my tv to watch movies on using xine, so i have tried using nvtv for this but, it I can't get it to work.

I have a Leadtek GF4 Ti 4400. I have tried searching the forums, but the information I found didn't make much sense to me. I am using nvidias drivers for my graphics card. I am not looking for a way to clone my display, just watch movies on the tv.

What I have done so far is emerging and staring nvtv, but the image I get on the tv (when I press double-F in xine) is all white.

What do I need to do? Please tell me what info you need from me if what I have provided in this (rather confused) description is insufficient.

Sorry for my english, btw.

You have to use the same version of NVTV that's embedded
in Xine, and I'm sorry to say that I've forgotten whitch
version that is. A tip, look through the souce of xine
somewhere it says what version of NVTV it uses.

Thanks a lot for the answer, but I think that I am having a problem with nvtv itself aswell.

When i run nvtv, get the dialog with options and turn on tv output from there I still get the same all white picture on the TV.

I have verified from a windows installation that tv output works fine from there.

nvtv has been slow to catch up with the new nvidia cards....it does not work with many of the geforce 4 cards.

Hmm... ok, do you know if I can check somewhere which tv-chips should be supported? The chip on my card is a connexant CX25871.

Or has anyone else using the same chip had any luck with tv-out?

I hate being forced to run windows every time I want to watch a movie...

Ok I can get it to work using a second XF86Config with twinview options in it but this means restarting X .... this works fine on my Geforce 4 card with phillips tv chip....the output fits my TV & looks great ... I will wait until my card is supported in nvtv before I try it again. Some people have NVTV working with some screwing around ..... check here:
