[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Extend pvr support to non-ivtv v4l2 cards (e.g. cx88-blackbird)

I have just been testing using webcams and video
capture cards.  No TV tuner cards so far.

Others here may have done this with v4l2.  Of course
you may have more luck with v4l(1) devices.

Sorry I can't be more helpful,
Richard.

This patch enhances the driver check code to allow non-ivtv v4l2 HW MPEG encoding cards (e.g. cx88-blackbird) to use the pvr access module.
