You still using 1.5.4 looking at you local_conf.py
The problem, or at least one problem is that the VIDEO_GROUPS is
incorrect for an IVTV card.
VIDEO_GROUPS = [
VideoGroup(vdev = '/dev/video0',
adev = '/dev/adsp',
input_type = 'tuner',
input_num = 4, #0 or 4 depends on driver version
tuner_norm = CONF.tv,
tuner_chanlist = CONF.chanlist,
desc = 'PVR-350 Video Group',
group_type = 'ivtv',
recordable = True),
]
the recordable setting is never used, you can get rid of the line.
When you upgrade to 1.6 or 1.7 the last line needs to be replaced with:
#recordable = True),
record_group = None),
The default record_group is None, so you can get rid of the line, only
useful when you have two tv cards.
The input number depends on the version of the ivtv driver, if the
driver is 0.8 and higher then the input number is 0 otherwise it is 4
for a 250 and 350.
v4l2-ctl --get-input
Video input : 0 (Tuner 1)
The latest 0.4.9 version is not very good, it would be better to upgrade
the kernel to 2.6.18 or higher and use the 0.8.2 or 0.10.0rc1 version
The mplayer command line reports
Failed to open /dev/rtc
this is very bad for audio sync, you need to enable rtc in the kernel.
If you have a remote it is not working.
