Chris, et. all

Having just gotten the pvr500 and trying to get it working, I have some
questions about which tuner, composite inputs and/or s-video input I'm supposed
to use with each /dev/video? entry.

I only have 1 pvr500 in my box which the ivtv driver detects as 2 pvr-150's.

When using record-v4l2.pl to display the available inputs, it gives me:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# record-v4l2.pl --list-inputs
record-v4l2.pl 1.33 for use with http://ivtv.sf.net/
Available Inputs:
0: S-Video 0
1: S-Video 1
2: Composite 0
3: Composite 1
4: Composite 2
5: Composite 3
6: Tuner 0
7: Tuner 1

regardless of if I query /dev/video0 or /dev/video1.

My question is, if a normal pvr-150 only has 1 S-Video, 1 Tuner and possibly 2
Composite inputs, shouldn't /dev/video0 only give me the same inputs I would see
for a single pvr-150?

What tuner is being selected as the default for the second "pvr-150" when the
driver intializes it to NTSC, etc?

The only time I ever got input from the tuner with my pvr-500 was when I queried
/dev/video1 and had "Tuner 0" selected.  Querying /dev/video0 at that time just
gave me static or forced a reboot (see my other thread about that).

I'm wondering if it is possible that the tuner is properly set, but we are not
properly selecting the correct inputs for each "pvr-150" we are working with and
thus we only get static from the tuner.

Is it possible to make /dev/video0 only work with the first "pvr-150" and
/dev/video1 only work with the second "pvr-150" when dealing with a pvr-500?
This would allow us to always just be dealing with "Tuner 0", "S-Video 0" and
then "Composite 0 or 1" and know that /dev/video0 is the off-board connectors
(in my experience) and /dev/video1 is the onboard connectors.


Is anyone else using record-v4l2.pl successfully with a pvr-500 and
recording/tuning from both devices at the same time?  I'd be interested to see
your usage/config for this scenario.
