This section is about how to enable listening to radio from
a V4L-compatible radio tuner. See the man page for a
description of radio options and keyboard controls.
</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="radio-compilation"></a>11.1.1.Compilation</h3></div></div></div><div class="procedure"><ol type="1"><li><p>
First, you have to recompile MPlayer using <tt class="filename">./configure</tt> with
<tt class="option">--enable-radio</tt> and (if you want capture support)
<tt class="option">--enable-radio-capture</tt>.
</p></li><li><p>
Make sure your tuner works with another radio software in Linux, for
example <span class="application">XawTV</span>.
</p></li></ol></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="radio-tips"></a>11.1.2.Usage tips</h3></div></div></div><p>
The full listing of the options is available in the manual page.
Here are just a few tips:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
Use the <tt class="option">channels</tt> option. An example:
</p><pre class="screen">-radio channels=104.4-Sibir,103.9-Maximum</pre><p>
Explanation: With this option, only the 104.4 and 103.9 radio stations
will be usable. There will be a nice OSD text upon channel switching,
displaying the channel's name. Spaces in the channel name must be
replaced by the "_" character.
</p></li><li><p>
There are several ways of capturing audio. You can grab the sound either using
your sound card via an external cable connection between video card and line-in,
or using the built-in ADC in the saa7134 chip. In the latter case, you have to
load the <code class="systemitem">saa7134-alsa</code> or
<code class="systemitem">saa7134-oss</code> driver.
</p></li><li><p>
<span class="application">MEncoder</span> cannot be used for audio capture, because it
requires a video stream to work. So your can either use
<span class="application">arecord</span> from ALSA project or
use <tt class="option">-ao pcm:file=file.wav</tt>. In the latter case you
will not hear any sound (unless you are using a line-in cable and
have switched line-in mute off).
</p></li></ul></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="radio-examples"></a>11.1.3.Examples</h3></div></div></div><div class="informalexample"><p>
Input from standard V4L (using line-in cable, capture switched off):
</p><pre class="screen">
mplayer radio://104.4
</pre><p>
</p></div><div class="informalexample"><p>
Input from standard V4L (using line-in cable, capture switched off,
V4Lv1 interface):
</p><pre class="screen">
mplayer -radio driver=v4l radio://104.4
</pre><p>
</p></div><div class="informalexample"><p>
Playing second channel from channel list:
</p><pre class="screen">
mplayer -radio channels=104.4=Sibir,103.9=Maximm radio://2
</pre><p>
</p></div><div class="informalexample"><p>
Passing sound over the PCI bus from the radio card's internal ADC.
In this example the tuner is used as a second sound card
(ALSA device hw:1,0). For saa7134-based cards either the
saa7134-alsa or saa7134-oss module must be loaded.
</p><pre class="screen">
mplayer -rawaudio rate=32000 -radio adevice=hw=1.0:arate=32000:channels=104.4=Sibir,103.9=Maximm radio://2/capture
</pre><p>
</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>When using ALSA device names colons must be replaced
by equal signs, commas by periods.
