I have installed a PVR-150 w/remote (non-mce version) this weekend and
started trying to get some tuner input.
Me too. :)
Anyway, I think I got a bit lost
in all the patches and updates. I can't seem to create a test.mpg with data.
Yepp, know how you feel. :)
I am running Gentoo with the 2.6.10 kernel. I am using the 3.2d drivers. It took me sometime to get the /dev/video0 device to show up, but I got
that working. Two other devices become available too, the /dev/video24
and 32. I have pasted my dmesg below. I have tried a variety of tuners,
but I am not sure that I am trying them correctly, because the dmesg
always says the tuner can't be found. Can anyone point in the right
direction?
I have no clue what direction is right, but about an hour ago I managed to get TV on my screen, by using the kernel mentioned in http://gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/17399
Furthermore,
my modprobe.conf currently is a /&%$ mess, but looks something like this:
--------------------------

The final alsaconf-stuff is partyl redundant - i redid an alsaconf, which seems to have done that - yes, a mess.
Then, I did:
modprobe ivtv ivtv_std=2 tuner=51
living in Germany/PAL-country, and then I get TV with
/usr/lib/ivtv/ptune-ui.pl & mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0
- no sound though, currently.
Other questions, like which firmware should be installed from where and how, remain to be discussed - I got mine, I guess, from a former install of ivtv et.al. according to jarods FAQ from ATRPMs - but I could be wrong. :)
I do want to thank everyone that works on this stuff. I am just amazed at the open-source community. It makes me wish I could program so I could jump in and help out.
ACK! :)
hth, greets, tobi... :)
