Hi, Can you try: vlc dvb:// And make sure vlc has access to /dev/dvb/.... --HPS Ran vlc -vvvv dvb:// but it does not work (I can attach the whole output if needed): > [0000000818c15150] core access debug: no access modules matched > [...] > [000000081880f070] core input error: open of `dvb://' failed Same with dvb-t://. It works with mpv dvb://, so /dev/dvb/... is definitely accessible. These plugins are suspiciously missing on FreeBSD, but are available on Debian for example: > lib/vlc/plugins/access/libdtv_plugin.so > lib/vlc/plugins/access/libdvb_plugin.so Hi, It might be you need to build vlc, after installing webcamd. Try to enable V4L support in VLC when building. The DVB feature is not broken in VLC under FreeBSD. --HPS Created attachment 167286 [details]

I try to install from packages when possible and V4L is enabled by
default.
I fixed it now. The problem was that multimedia/vlc did not declare
a build dependency on multimedia/v4l_compat when V4L is enabled
leading to the default package not having a DVB plugin (see attached patch).
VLC now also installs the missing access modules libdvb_plugin and
vlc dvb:// now works.

Fixed white space in patch.

So dvb support is enabled and build. This allows vlc to understand dvb:// uri's again.

Trying to watch TV with an USB DVB-T adapter, webcamd, and VLC fails with error messages like: > core input error: open of `dvb-t://frequency=642000000,inversion=2,bandwidth=8,code-rate-hp=9,code-rate-lp=9,modulation=0,transmission=0,guard=0,hierarchy=0' failed It works with multimedia/mpv. Do I need to enable an option in the VLC port or is it broken?
