IVTV TikiWiki : PVR150-500Firmware < http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=PVR150-500Firmware> indicates that HcwFalcn.rom (pvr-150mce firmware) should be symlinked to ivtv-fw-enc.bin. I already have an ivtv-fw-enc.bin recommended by the IVTV WIKI for my pvr-350. These encoder firmwares clearly are different (md5sum). Is there no way to specify a firmware file for each card or can there be only one (highlander style)? I wouldn't worry about this but I'm getting card specific problems while watching live tv or recordings while they are still recording.
I wouldn't symlink anything. Just put all the firmware together in one location. Mine (for a PVR500) looks like this : $ ls -la /lib/modules <snip> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 376836 Jun 10 14:31 HcwFalcn.rom -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14264 Jun 10 14:31 HcwMakoA.ROM -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 262144 Jun 10 14:33 ivtv-fw-enc.bin
You only really either HcwFalcn.rom or ivvtv-fw-enc.bin. Also, no renaming or symlinks are required, you can just use the ivtv_efw module parameter. --
I figured I only need one, but I leave both there and don't specify any options anywhere. The driver seems to pick up the ivtv-fw-enc.bin instead of HcwFalcn.rom, but I have zero problems with it, while other people using the same card (PVR-500 D492) seem to have weird sound problems. Not saying this is the reason mine works, but it does work.
