Hello, and thanks for your time

I am trying to get freevo to work with my WinTV-PVR 250. Per instructions
from various sources, including the documentation on the Wiki site, I added
the following to my local_conf.py file:


..

plugin.remove('tv.generic_record') 
plugin_record = plugin.activate('tv.ivtv_record') 

..

IVTV_OPTIONS = { 
    'input'         : 4, 
    'resolution'    : '720x480', 
    'aspect'        : 2, 
    'audio_bitmask' : 233, 
    'bframes'       : 3, 
    'bitrate_mode'  : 1, 
    'bitrate'       : 4000000, 
    'bitrate_peak'  : 4000000, 
    'dnr_mode'      : 0, 
    'dnr_spatial'   : 0, 
    'dnr_temporal'  : 0, 
    'dnr_type'      : 0, 
    'framerate'     : 0, 
    'framespergop'  : 15, 
    'gop_closure'   : 1, 
    'pulldown'      : 0, 
    'stream_type'   : 10, 
}

..

VIDEO_GROUPS = [ 
   VideoGroup(vdev="/dev/video0", 
      adev=None, 
      input_type='tuner', 
      tuner_num=4, 
      tuner_norm=CONF.tv, 
      tuner_chanlist=CONF.chanlist, 
      desc='Cable', 
      group_type="ivtv", 
      recordable=True), 
   ]


When I execute freevo, I get the following...


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/main.py", line 85, in ?
    import config
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/sitepackages/freevo/config.py:, line 499, in ?
    Execfile(overridefile, globals(), locals())
  File "/etc/freevo/local_conf.py", line 924, in ?
    Recordable=True),
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'tuner_num'


So, when I comment-out the line:


tuner_num=4,


freevo works...kinda.  Freevo will come up and work fine except when I try
to watch TV, it will only go black for a few seconds and then re-display the
guide.  Everything else works.  Also, my card works perfect when I tune a
channel from the command line and then issue "mplayer /dev/video0"

I'm using Freevo 1.5.0-rc3 and MPlayer 1.0-pre4 and ivtv 0.1.9

Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Oscilated
