Extend TV XML to also have xvport (for <device> tag) and xvenc (for <input> tag) so that playing TV with kxvplayer works more reliable. svn path=/trunk/extragear/multimedia/doc/kmplayer/; revision=433169 M +26 -0 doc/index.docbook https://commits.kde.org/kmplayer/581d7639fd675ed9f14d6ffa67c4c68cdd27d34f diff --git a/doc/index.docbook b/doc/index.docbook index 240e94b..e220db4 100644 --- a/doc/index.docbook +++ b/doc/index.docbook @@ -81,6 +81,32 @@ to:[email protected]">The &kde; User Mailing list</ulink>.</para> &kmplayer; can play from various sources.

There should be ports detected, from which you should select one. You have to figure out what encoding you should use (eg. for western europe, that is PAL) and likely the correct one has a name with <quote>dvb</quote> in it.
