emerge tvtime
emerge xawtv
emerge smixer
USE="faac" emerge ffmpeg
USE="dvd ffmpeg mpeg mad wxwindows aac dts a52 ogg flac theora oggvorbis matroska freetype bidi xv svga gnutls stream vlm httpd cdda vcd cdio live v4l mp3 ffmpeg-faac" emerge vlc

edit /etc/smixer.conf

Code:

# set line input recording
recsrc  Line


This is a small shell script that grabs tv & audio from your bttv card. Things you can change here are vb (video bitrate) ab (audio bitrate), size (video size), and local IP address. This is good for a 256k uplink. When you run the script you can choose your channel and video source input using tvtime and then close tvtime.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

#first choose your channel with tvtime
tvtime
v4lctl volume mute off
smixer -s /etc/smixer.conf

#this is all one line
vlc -vvv 'v4l:///dev/video0:norm=pal:size=320x240:adev=/dev/dsp' --sout '#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,vb=200,acodec=mp3,ab=48}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,url=192.168.0.1:81}}'

exit 0


Then open windows media player and open url http://192.168.0.1:81

I use this to send TV to a friend overseas who uses windows. Here is some code to embed the feed into a web page ** remember to change the IP address ** :

Code:


<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer1" width=640 height=480

classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"

codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/
   controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,0,02,902"

standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..."

type="application/x-oleobject">

<PARAM NAME="FileName"
VALUE="http://youripaddress:81">

<PARAM NAME="animationatStart" VALUE="true">

<PARAM NAME="transparentatStart" VALUE="true">

<PARAM NAME="autoStart" VALUE="true">

<PARAM NAME="showControls" VALUE="true">

<EMBED type="application/x-mplayer2"

pluginspage = "http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/"

SRC="http://youripaddress:81" autostart="true" name="MediaPlayer1" width=640 height=480>

</EMBED>

</OBJECT>



If anyone has h264 working on vlc let me know how you did it. I would like to make a version of this for quicktime.
