Hi,
I'm on my way building my own HTPC.
As I won't be able to build the full-blown wish-system in the near future
(DVB-S server in the cellar, streaming to the clients in the rooms),
I started with a client.
I have to begin with an analog tv I decided to use freevo as I like its
overall concept better than the other solutions.
As the system will be in the living room only the TV should be attached,
no keyboard, commands only via IR.
hardware: Shuttle SB61G2, P4 2.6, 1 GB, 160 GB HDD
on-board Intel Extreme Graphic 2 with opt. TV-Out
on-board sound i810 with SPDIF out
Hauppauge PVR 350
software: knoppix 3.3 , kernel 2.4.22, linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre16,
ivtv-0.19,
lirc-0.7.0pre2, alsa-driver-1.0.2a
freevo 1.41 binary install
I installed knoppix, compiled the kernel, added the modules and freevo.
With the monitor attached to VGA I got nearly everything working, but
freevo does not show up on the TV screen. (problem one)
This could be the reason:
Feb 2 21:31:36 media kernel: ivtv-fb does not support changing the video
mode
Feb 2 21:31:36 media modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module
char-major-10-32
Feb 2 21:31:36 media modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module
char-major-10-32
but I've no idea and nothing found what can solve the issue. :-(
I probably missing only a small thing.
(problem two: I've connected SPDIF out to my amplifier, set in alsamixer
Master a. PCM to 74, IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA to 0 but I don't get
any sound output when playing something with mpg123 -o alsa.)
ivtv: I can watch tv with mplayer and I get a test screen on the TV.
