Hi all,
I have a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150 card and my goal is the scheduled tv recording. I have the followings: - a proper .xawtv file - a script to set the frequency: /usr/bin/settv param_freq - an other script to record: /usr/bin/recordtv param_freq param_duration (this script calls the settv script) - a properly working crontab In the following 'one logs in' means 'someone logs into gnome'. Cases: 1) someone logs in and immediately out: the scheduled recroding begins to run and creates a good mpeg file 2) pc starts and noone logs in: the scheduled recording runs wrong, the mpeg file's size is 0 bytes and the syslog is full with errors: kernel: ivtv0 warning: i2c client addr: 0x40 not found for command 0x402c5639! 3) gdm makes someone to log in (let's say after 30 secs): see case 2. The scripts make logs with 'timestamps' so I can check them running. During the recordig nothing crashes, everyting seems fine but I have those i2c errors in the syslog. I've tried Fedora C4 (reinstalled several times) and now Ubuntu 5.10 (fresh install). I followed the distro-specific howtos and tried to install the driver by myself but the result remained the same. The driver works, I can rercord tv but only if I'm (or anyone else is) logged in manually. I use kernel v2.6.15.4 (tried original FC4 driver, original ubuntu driver) and now this is my compilation (works fine). Does anyone have any suggestions why is this happening to me? I can't decide if this is a driver issue or something linux specific thing, but all my scheduled programs run well, except these scripts. Thanks, zsombor _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
