Actually this time I merely provided you with only the results of my second try and not both my first and second try.

I tried both v4l2 and v4L2, both failed the same.

type cat /dev/video > test.avi
wait for 3 seconds
type ctrl and c at the same time (ctrl+c)
open the file test.avi with mediaplayer (gxine or else).

A file is created and when I open it with MPlayer it plays it but it is too quick for me to actually see what is being played.

I tried also test1.avi and test2.avi each running a little longer but even 20 seconds of being goofy in front of the camera didn't result in anything but a quick flash in the MPlayer window.

Is what I have described what you would expect or do I perhaps have a setting wrong in MPlayer?

How do we proceed from here, please?

I am excited that we may have a solution soon!

:D

I think there will be different output...
Please copy&paste the result you get from the command I suggested.
The exact errors are very important to have an idea, what goes wrong.
I am currently without idea, what goes wrong.
Also googling did not help me, to find out more.
So the error-messages are currently the only hint we might get.

OK, here is the result from
gmplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=352:height=288:device=/dev/video0

I think you now have everything.

ah I see, your mplayer is too old.
I get the same error when I test version 1.0.8, but not with 1rc1.

Please uninstall mplayer with Petget, then install:
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Multimedia/Mp ... chrome.pup
mirror:
http://puppyfiles.ca/dotpupsde/dotpups/ ... chrome.pup


Then run
gmplayer, and open a video, to check that it plays well (that the correct video-out driver is active).

Then run my command again, please, and post the result here.

PetGet doesn't see mplayer in the right hand column.

Is there another way to cause PetGet to do the uninstall?

then maybe you have it pre-installed.
Do you use a puplett, a modified Puppy?
It should be ok, too, to install the new mplayer without uninstalling the old one.

Yes, ChurchPup.

I have to hit the hay here but will read and follow your next suggestions in the morning.

Sure appreciate the help!

ok, should sleep, too soon ;)
Keep us informed about your results :)

Important:
as you will shutdown Puppy now, for your tests tomorrow, do not forget to run Muppywebcam again, as it loads the required Kernelmodules.
After that, type:
gmplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=352:height=288:device=/dev/video0

Have a good night, Mark

you forgot the -tv

To avoid typos, you can select this line with the mouse, and paste it in the consolewindow with a MIDDLE-click:

Code: Select all

gmplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=352:height=288:device=/dev/video0

I rushed again so as to not keep you waiting ... should have had that cup of coffee first!

I also didn't know about the middle mouse click trick, that is very handy!

Code: Select all

this tells us, that still Mplayer 1.0.8 is active.
Did you install the new one already?

If yes, please look, if you maybe have it twice now:
/usr/bin/gmplayer
and
/usr/local/bin/gmplayer

If yes, then delete
/usr/bin/gmplayer

That must be the old one then.

I think that that step in the process was forgotten last night - I meant to ask again about it.

You speculated that the Puppy301-based ChurchPup may have installed the old version of MPlayer ... but I don't know how to best uninstall it cleanly since PupGet doesn't see it.
