I'm new to this. I'm looking for some help in diagnosing why my Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150 card produces a zero length file when I use the command:
cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg I followed the instructions at http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php for seting up the ivtv driver and MythTV software. All appeared to go OK. After step 10 (install capture card driver), I tested the video capture by attaching an antenna to the NTSC input of my PVT-150 and used the above unix command. I used "ivtv-tune -c 8" to set the tuner to a strong local TV channel. I tried the following commands to insure the card used the proper video input: /usr/bin/ivtvctl -u 0x3000 /usr/bin/ivtvctl -p 4 (I tried 0 thru 8, not just 4) At the end of this email are the relevant system log entries when booting. Notice the system autodetects a WinTV PVR 250 card, but I have a PVR-150. Perhaps I have incorrect firmware? My /lib/modules directory contains the following files: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13353 Oct 2 2004 HcwMakoA.ROM -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 262144 Dec 25 04:56 ivtv-fw-dec.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 262144 Dec 25 04:56 ivtv-fw-enc.bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jan 6 01:22 v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw -> ivtv-fw-dec.bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jan 6 01:22 v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw -> ivtv-fw-enc.bin -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 155648 Nov 15 14:27 v4l-cx2341x-init-mpeg.bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 6 23:04 v4l-cx25840.fw -> HcwMakoA.ROM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kernel: ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== kernel: ivtv: version 0.4.1 (tagged release) loading kernel: ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4smp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.0 kernel: ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info between kernel: ivtv: the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with kernel: ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist. kernel: ivtv0: Autodetected WinTV PVR 250 card (cx23416 based) kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:02.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 193 kernel: ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) kernel: tveeprom: ivtv version kernel: tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 26032, rev = C199, serial# = 8226087 kernel: tveeprom: tuner = TCL 2002N 5H (idx = 99, type = 50) kernel: tveeprom: tuner fmt = NTSC(M) (eeprom = 0x08, v4l2 = 0x00001000) kernel: tveeprom: audio processor = CX25841 (type = 23) kernel: tveeprom: decoder processor = CX25841 (type = 1c) kernel: ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=tveeprom, addr=50] kernel: tuner (ivtv): chip found at addr 0xc2 i2c-bus ivtv i2c driver #0 kernel: ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=(tuner unset), addr=61] kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x21 not found for command 0x8004646b! kernel: ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (262144 bytes) kernel: ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02040024 kernel: ivtv0 warning: Encoder Firmware can be buggy, use version 0x02040011 or 0x02050032. kernel: ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder MPEG stream: 128 x 32768 buffers (4096KB total) kernel: ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder YUV stream: 194 x 10800 buffers (2048KB total) kernel: ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder VBI stream: 120 x 17472 buffers (2048KB total) kernel: ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder PCM audio stream: 455 x 4608 buffers (2048KB total) kernel: tuner: type set to 50 (TCL 2002N) by ivtv i2c driver #0 kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x21 not found for command 0x40085618! kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x21 not found for command 0xc0045627! kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x40 not found for command 0x40086d11! kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x40 not found for command 0x80287610! kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x40 not found for command 0x40287611! fstab-sync[2285]: removed all generated mount points kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x40 not found for command 0x40085618! kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x21 not found for command 0x40085618! kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x40 not found for command 0x80287610! kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x40 not found for command 0x40287611! kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x21 not found for command 0x40045613! kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x40 not found for command 0x402c5639! kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x21 not found for command 0x40045612! kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x40 not found for command 0x80287610! kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x40 not found for command 0x40287611! kernel: ivtv0: Initialized WinTV PVR 250, card #0 kernel: ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ==================== Griff [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
