I have just gotten my HVR 1600 working, well sortof, and I'm running into some problems. I have used the latest driver from linuxtv.org. The driver and firmware load just fine and dmesg report nothing which would indicate an error. When I try and view the tv feed with mplayer tv:// the following is the output:
$ mplayer tv:// MPlayer SVN-r29463-4.3.2 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team Playing tv://. TV file format detected. Selected driver: v4l2 name: Video 4 Linux 2 input author: Martin Olschewski <[email protected]> comment: first try, more to come ;-) Selected device: Hauppauge HVR-1600 Tuner cap: STEREO LANG1 LANG2 Tuner rxs: MONO Capabilites: video capture VBI capture device tuner audio read/write supported norms: 0 = NTSC; 1 = NTSC-M; 2 = NTSC-M-JP; 3 = NTSC-M-KR; 4 = NTSC-443; 5 = PAL; 6 = PAL-BG; 7 = PAL-H; 8 = PAL-I; 9 = PAL-DK; 10 = PAL-M; 11 = PAL-N; 12 = PAL-Nc; 13 = PAL-60; 14 = SECAM; 15 = SECAM-B; 16 = SECAM-G; 17 = SECAM-H; 18 = SECAM-DK; 19 = SECAM-L; 20 = SECAM-Lc; inputs: 0 = Tuner 1; 1 = S-Video 1; 2 = Composite 1; 3 = S-Video 2; 4 = Composite 2; Current input: 0 Current format: unknown (0x4745504d) v4l2: current audio mode is : STEREO v4l2: ioctl request buffers failed: Invalid argument v4l2: 0 frames successfully processed, 0 frames dropped. Exiting... (End of file) When I do cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg then play the file there is no audio and the video is not clear. I can barely tell what channel it is but it is in black and white and is very badly distorted. My linux distro is Gentoo with the latest, 2.6.30-gentoo-r4, kernel. Can anyone help with this problem? I just want to be able to watch tv from my linux box, no fancy mythtv or recording. -- Dustin Mitchell [email protected] _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
