Description of problem: Totem is built without TV-out option enabled. After review of gnome's bugzilla reports a developer redirects users to distributor. Additionally he suppose to build binary with --enable-nvtv option. I followed the advise and found that even when option enabled, still no TV-out is operational. when building the package configuration script checks for NVTV and did not found it. I searched Fedora repository for nvtv packages - no one exists. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): totem-2.23.2-5.fc9 totem-2.23.2-5.fc9.src How reproducible: Binary package do not have the option enabled. When building from source package. Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -Uvh Downloads/totem-2.23.2-5.fc9.src.rpm 2. cd /root/rpmbuild 3. vi SPECS/totem.spec (change --disable-nvtv to --enable-nvtv) 4. rpmbuild -bb SPECS/totem.spec Actual results: TV-out options are non operational (disabled in grey) Expected results: TV-out options are enabled and operational. Additional info:
You need to install nvtv's development packages before recompiling.
Ok, that is a problem - no nvtv packages found on Fedora's site!
I'm afraid I can't do much about that. As far as I know, nvtv doesn't work with newer cards, and is mostly obsoleted by newer TVs having digital inputs. If you have an older card, and a TV without a digital input, you might want to contribute to Fedora, and get the library packaged and uploaded: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nv-tv-out/ These are the instructions for packagers wanting to join in: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join I'd advise you to test that it works with your setup first though...
Thanks. Best regards.
