Chris,
Not sure if this helps or not, but here is what I have:
PVR-500 MCE
EPoX-8k3aplus M/B (VIA KT333)
Athlon XP 1800+ (Palomino)
NVidia 440MX (VGA Out not composite, using v7167 drivers)
Gentoo 2004.0
Kernel 2.6.11 (gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r4)
CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
ivtv built using Shan's special ebuild:
http://hybryd.org//?module=linux&step=gentoo&id=misc&pid=pvr150howto
Modules.conf setup from your QuickSetup doc in 0.3.2q
I've been playing with ivtv 0.3.2p since I got my 500 last week with
little success. Doing a cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg would always reboot
the PC after a few seconds and sometimes leave a file behind, other
times a file of 0 bytes or no file at all with an immediate reboot. If I
watch the resulting file with mplayer I get a picture with garbage at
the top of the screen and no audio (and mplayer built against libmpeg2
0.3, but not 0.4 would show video which is really weird but probably
irrelevant at this point). With 0.3.2q, I got closer: I could
cat /dev/video0 for a bit longer. If I left the cat going for long
enough the machine would reboot (usually a couple minutes or so). With
0.3.2r, I'm still in the same spot.
By reading this list, I've learned that a cold reboot is really a good
idea to make sure the card is really reset (which may explain my
occasional 0 byte files) and that there were some issues with VIA
chipsets (that are now fixed?). I've also learned that the garbage at
the top of the screen is VBI (or maybe CC?) info, but I haven't heard
anyone else with missing audio tracks lately, so I must be special. :-)
Hope this helps, and thanks for all the hard work!
Ian
