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.
What version of the cx18 driver does your distro have?
$ /sbin/modinfo cx18
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx18/cx18.ko
version: 1.1.0
license: GPL
description: CX23418 driver
Versions earlier than 1.0.4 won't work reliably. If you have an early
version, follow the steps here to get the latest:
http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Cx18#Obtaining_the_driver
If you do have a v1.0.4 or later version of the driver, please ensure
you have the firmware files:
http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/cx18-firmware.tar.gz
untarred and stored in the directory in which your distribution expects
them.
If all that is OK. Try
$ sudo /sbin/modprobe -r cx18
$ sudo /sbin/modporbe cx18 debug=15
And send the logs from module load to after the start of the first
capture.
Thank you. I had the 1.0.1 driver installed, have updated to 1.1.0 as
per the link you were kind enough to provide. I can't power the
machine down right now, but we'll see if that fixes what ailed it.
