I'd start with: mpv tv:// --no-tv-audio mpv tv:// --tv-device=/dev/video0 --no-tv-audio mpv tv:// --tv-device=/dev/video1 --no-tv-audio mpv tv:// --tv-device=/dev/video2 --no-tv-audio mpv tv:// --tv-device=/dev/video3 --no-tv-audio If either of these show something - you're in luck, you hardware is supported, etc. If not - I'm out of ideas, sorry.
