Can't record analog TV with WinTV HVR-950Q
I was not able to record analog TV with the WinTV HVR-950Q with MythTV in Natty. The logs were not very helpful even with --setverbose all; the actual failure point is not logged.
In gdb, I narrowed the problem down to this: in NuppelVideoReco
I reworked the ifdefs a bit, mimicking what I saw for other V4L stuff, so that the SetFormatV4L2 and DoV4L2 functions were defined correctly. I left DoV4L and DoMJPEG hollowed out since they don't compile and I don't care about 'em.
After that, I was able to record analog through V4L in MythTV. Here are the main parameters I set in MythTV, just in case they aren't all obvious:
In mythtv-setup:
Video device: /dev/video0
Audio device: ALSA:hw:
Force audio sampling rate: 48000
In mythfrontend, software encoders:
Width: 720
Height: 480
Video codec: MPEG4
Audio codec: MP3
Sampling rate: 48000
Here's the patch from the original source to my modified version:

< #ifdef USING_V4L

> #if defined(USING_V4L) || defined(USING_V4L2)

[Edited: I had the diff backwards before.]
