I followed the howto in Comment #7 and went through the installation without problems. I managed to install all components on a Pi B and 'program_mood_light', works perfectly. I can also see on the screen a captured video stream using mplayer. Except the HDMI splitter I use all HW described in the howto.
...but...
When I try to run ambi-light I get following error:
video-fmt: unsupported video format in ambitv_video_fmt_detect_crop_for_frame.
I was googeling and saw that it probably has to do with an incompatible video capturing. But as I can watch a film on the PI, it seems to me that the driver installations are ok.

(I know not the one I wanted, but mplayer works, so driver must be ok??)
To see the video I use...
/usr/bin/mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0 -vo fbdev -fs -fps 24 -aspect 4:3 -nosound tv://
Works perfect on PAL.
So I doubt, that the error has to do with the wrong chipset on the video capture, as I can see the input video with mplayer without any problems. Can you please help me?
Config File EXTRACT...
v4l2-grab-source {
name v4l2-video
video-device /dev/video0
buffers 4
crop-left 4
crop-top 1
crop-right 4
crop-bottom 1
autocrop-luminance-threshold 8
}
.... the rest seems to work as mood light works.
Any idea, how I can bring the working input signal to ambi-tv? Did I miss a setting? Do I need to change the crop setting?
=> is eventually the picture too small and I must increase crop? To how much?
