Hi all,
I am using a tv tuner (hauppage 1600) that is shows up as a character device (/dev/video0). I normally open this device using VLC and it displays cable TV.
1st problem) I would like to have an application access this device, read the stream, and distribute it to multiple clients.
I have tried to use a java filereader to read /dev/video0 and then output it to a file, just to see if I can pick read it using VLC. It seems like the output does get redirected to the file, but vlc display it.
2nd problem) On the client end, I would to represent this stream as a character device. To me this is something it seems like you can use linux to do very easily. Maybe not, I don't know.
Anyone have any experience or ideas to help me?
Please let me know, and thanks in advance.
