In an effort to resolve the issues I've had with 0.4-0.4.2 I upgraded to kernel 2.6.15 and therefore upgraded to ivtv-0.5.1 (think this is necessary from reading the docs)
All is going much better, no more errors reported in dmesg when loading ivtv and all the modules needed are there and registering properly as far as I can tell. I configured the kernel to build everything related to v4l + dvb as modules. They are installed as expected in /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/media/ + the ivtv modules are installed in /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/ivtv/. The only modules in the ivtv directory are ivtv.ko + ivtv-fb.ko, I am using all other modules from the 2.6.15 kernel. I can send video from video0 -> video16 and get a picture, although it is all static. My problem is now all channels come through as static except one channel. The signal for this channel can be found by tuning to channel 5 (both using ptune/mplayer or mythtv), but the content of the signal is not channel 5, it is a home shopping channel, that is normally found somewhere in the channel 50-100 range. The only errors of any type I can come up with are related to building the 0.5.1 driver, it complains: make -C /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/build M=/root/ivtv-0.5.1/driver modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1' Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST *** Warning: "tveeprom_hauppauge_analog" [/root/ivtv-0.5.1/driver/ivtv.ko] undefined! *** Warning: "tveeprom_read" [/root/ivtv-0.5.1/driver/ivtv.ko] undefined! make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1' (yes, I'm running as root till I can get this all working and the source isn't in the most logical place, but it works) This is supposedly related to the version of v4l in the kernel according to the wiki (but even in 2.6.15?). I tried the instructions on the wiki for getting the cvs version of v4l, doing a make distclean and tried again. This did not help. I'm making progress but once again stuck, google doesn't have any ideas, and I've seen scattered thoughts on similar problems on the mailing lists, but nothing seems to help. Anyone have any suggestions as to where to go next or experience with this problem? _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
