I have been on a long, winding road trying to get MythTV working. After several days of learning and ultimately giving up with FC 4, I decided to switch to a fresh install of FC 5. I experienced and read about a conflict with kernel-2.6.17 and the ivtv drivers so my plan was not to upgrade the default FC 5 installation kernel (2.6.15) right away. Instead I would go straight to loading the ivtv drivers and see if I could at least get TVtime working. Using yum I could see that dependencies from ivtv were going to force a kernel upgrade. Not knowing what other viable options I had, I let it happen. There were no apparent problems during the install (I did include ivtv_xdriver). When I open TVtime I get the following message: ivtv: Invalid argument, Cannot open capture device /dev/video0. I know that MythTV is many hours of work ahead of me, but there seems to be no point in trying if I can't get past the TVtime error (exactly the same error msg I got from Fedora Core 4
upgraded to kernel-2.6.17, by the way.)
So?? I would rather wait a bit and use the latest kernel assuming my simple experiment is valid.....and that a fix is coming.
