I have a Pinnacle USB TV receiver. So far i have not seen any mention of support for TV cards at all but I was wondering if my recorded TV shows were playable in their native format which is WTV. I am in the process of converting them to MP4 format but that seems to be taking a loooong time.
Thank you in advance!

they are supported, but the ffmpeg version in the current eden release is quite old and there have been many improvements to wtv support since then.
I believe I saw a post somewhere on this forum from a dev stating that they have updated the ffmpeg release, but it is only available if you can build from source as the buildbot has not started back up since the release of eden.
So your 3 options are to play your wtv files and wait until a new build is released, or build a new release yourself and enjoy :-)

Thanks for the nfo fearless! I think I'll wait for the next release. I'm new to this and still learning. Maybe you can tell me what the upgrade process is when an update or new build is released. Do you run opkg and update or re-install everything?
