I'm not sure if anyone remembers me or not, but about a year and a half ago, I had a lot of issues trying to get my Hauppauge HVR1600 (CX18 chip) to load on my Linux box. Most of the errors had something to do with the EEPROM. I remember Andy helping me a lot, sending me emails about every day, with a new patch to attempt to correct, or at least, diagnose the problem. Unfortunately, life got busy on me, and my free time that I once had to try to get this card working vanished.
Yesterday I checked this email account, and saw my Daily Digest of the IVTV Mailing List. I figured it couldn't hurt to try again, wondering how far this project had gone. After compiling the latest kernel (PcLinuxOS lags behind on this in the repo's, and makeconfig always gives warnings about certain features not being available on this kernel version), I compiled and installed the driver. I ran a simple "mplayer -cache 8192 /dev/video0", and here was the result: http://localhostr.com/files/79a4da/snapshot4.png I just want to tell everyone thank-you for continuing to work on this, and eventually making it work for people like me! It means a lot. I now just have to figure out how to change the channel. Thanks for all the hard work! -Michael _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
