Thread about about another webcamd svn update that adds /dev/input
support for some usb tablet supported on Linux and about an
x11-drivers/input-wacom update that I prepared and tested with a
Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch and graphics/mypaint:

Thread about my xbmc pvr snaphot port and about a libGL problem that
seems to be fixed by the versions in xorg-dev:

Thread about webcamd v3.0.0.0 pre-release and earlier thread about
misc patches related to remote support for /dev/input/eventX:
(all the mentioned updates including webcamd itself and the
pctv452e.c rc.core patch have been committed in the meantime)

Linuxolator DVB/V4L2 patches that got Linux apps like SageTV working
with DVB tuners, and the versions of Skype and Flash in ports with
webcams using Linux drivers via webcamd:

        ./linux_v4l2wrapper-kmod.shar
	(V4L2, above version made into a port, this now is supposed
	to work on all supported branches where the patches aren't
	in base yet - now committed as multimedia/linux_v4l2wrapper-kmod)
	[webcamd doesn't work on 7.x tho because that still has the
	old USB stack.]

        ./linux_dvbwrapper-kmod.shar
	(DVB, now turned into a port because of LGPL in Linux DVB
	header files that I used parts of and got no reply about
	when emailing the author of those parts - committed as
	multimedia/linux_dvbwrapper-kmod in the meantime)

Earlier versions of the patches:

        ./linux-v4l2-8-test.patch
	(V4L2, for 8, this is what I tested)

        ./linux-v4l2-test.patch
	(V4L2, for head, untested)

        ./linux-v4l2-8.2-test.patch
	(V4L2, q&d version for 8.2)

        ./linux-v4l2-2.6.17-test.patch
        ./linux-v4l2-2.6.17-8-test.patch
        ./linux-v4l2-2.6.17-8.2-test.patch
	(V4L2, equivalent versions using Linux 2.6.17 videodev2.h,
	the first one now has been committed to 9.0-current in r221426
	and now also 8.2-stable in r222914)

	http://people.freebsd.org/~ae/linux_v4l2_kld.tgz
	(V4L2, alternate version extracted by Andrey V. Elsukov
	into a seperate kld the way I did it with the DVB version)

Some intro/installation notes about the vdr ports, read this if you
want to use vdr on FreeBSD:  (Video Disk Recorder, watch/record/stream tv,
thanx to netchild@ for wikifying my email!  I'll try to keep this up to
date.)

Original thread if you want to post a followup:

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2011-March/011811.html

Earlier post about the comms/lirc port update that I meanwhile
committed, and about using it with my webcamd remote patch (that
meanwhile was committed to webcamd svn) and DVB tuner remotes like
that of a TechnoTrend S2-3600 DVB-S2 USB, including example configs:

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2011-February/011625.html

...and a post about using lirc with xbmc with example config: (the
xbmc patch has been commited to ports now)

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2011-March/011726.html

Earlier patch for the libxine port to add a vdpau knob (a modified
version has been committed to ports now), I hope that's all that's
missing to get the above vdr ports, especially the xineliboutput
plugin and vdr-sxfe working with vdpau: ./libxine-vdpau2.patch
The actual vdpau patch btw is not mine, it's adapted from here:

	http://e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental/pool-squeeze/source/base/xine-lib_1.1.19-2.etobi2.debian.tar.gz

with only unrelated graphicsmagic changes removed because those
would complicate dependency handling of the libxine port.

Patches for the vdr upnp/dlna plugin (that now is in ports even though
it is still alpha) with short descriptions: ./vdr-plugin-upnp-patches/

Post about the infosatepg plugin (which atm is receiving epg for
fewer channels than it used to) and descriptions of two
optional patches, one to make infosatepg use alternate
channels, ./patch-vdr-infosatepg-altchannel.txt and one to make vdr
timers record teletext, ./patch-vdr-1.7.15-record-teletext.txt:

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2010-July/011158.html

Thread about better teletext (subtitle) recording patches that I didn't
know about when making the second patch:

	http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2010-July/023216.html

And if you want to use multimedia/xine with vdr and keyboard control:
(i.e. something like xine "xvdr://127.0.0.1#nocache" instead of vdr-sxfe;
the patch has been committed to ports in the meantime so all you have to
do now is use something like the mentioned keymap, ./xine/keymap.)

Thread where I posted a summary of which usb dvb-s2 and dvb-t tuners
I personally tested:

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2011-January/011532.html

There now also is a wiki page listing some webcams/tuners/remotes that
people tested:

	http://wiki.freebsd.org/WebcamCompat

Post about another dvb-s2 tuner I got after that, called "TechnoTrend
S2-3600 DVB-S2 USB":

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2011-January/011611.html

(tho the webcamd remote patch in there has been superseded by the
one for use with lirc that's now in webcamd.)

Earlier thread about w_scan and szap-s2 (both are in ports now) and
my tuner model, called PCTV 452e Sat HDTV Pro USB:

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2010-April/010959.html

...and the notes about the other tuner model that didn't want to work
are actually at the end of this posting:

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2010-April/010957.html

Another dvb thread that for a moment I didn't notice was on -mobile
instead of -multimedia so I link it here so ppl can find it easier:

	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2010-June/012017.html

And finally:

How to build tzap (and [acs]zap too; dvb-t/dvb-c/atsc tuning)
and also how to get a channels.conf file that these and some other
apps like mplayer need:
