I haven't seen any similar reports in the archives, but my Hauppauge HVR1600 does not produce usable output with mplayer or VLC in Ubuntu Linux (9.04 beta/2.6.28-11 amd64) until after I have used the card in a Windows XP session with Hauppague's WinTV software.
Booting straight to Linux from a power off state results in a black screen and no audio from both players. ivti-tune and v4l2-ctl set--frequency both produce normal output and indicate the card has been set to the proper channel/frequency (3/61.125) DMSG and the kernel logs appear to be nominal. I don't see any obvious errors. lsmod indicates all of the required modules are loaded. The only anomaly I see is that v4l2-ctl --all indicates signal strength is 0, which is consistent with what I see from mplayer. If I command a system restart and boot into Windows XP, or boot directly into XP from a power off condition, the card works fine with the Hauppauge WinTV software. After I do that, I can command a system restart and boot into Linux and the card then works as expected. v4l2-ctl --all indicates signal strength of 100%. It seems that Ubuntu isn't initializing something on startup, but once whatever it is gets set it persists through a warm reboot. I'm really trying to avoid XP as much as possible and would appreciate any suggestions on how I might make the card work when I boot straight to Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
