For the record, I got the drivers compiled and installed but so far I've only gotten them partially working. The device sometimes works (in SD mode IIRC) using dd if=/dev/video0 but I'm still trying to figure out what the symptoms are.
Anyway, FWIW here's what I had to do to get media_tree to build on stock Fedora 14 kernel 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64: git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git cd media_build ./build.sh build.sh will stop at the Kinect driver with compiler errors. Edit build.sh to comment out the following lines, or build.sh will clobber any code edits you make below: (editing the .config file doesn't seem to work) #run git pull git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git master #run make -C linux/ download #run make -C linux/ untar Assuming you don't need the Kinect driver, comment out or use #ifdef to disable the following line in media_build/linux/drivers/media/video/gspca/kinect.c: int gspca_debug = D_ERR | D_PROBE | D_CONF | D_STREAM | D_FRAM | D_PACK | D_USBI | D_USBO | D_V4L2; Assuming you don't need the Samsung S5P/EXYNOS4 SoC series MIPI-CSI driver, edit media_build/linux/drivers/media/video/s5p-fimc/mipi-csis.c to comment out the line: #include <plat/mipi_csis.h> and use #ifdef to skip the contents of the functions s5pcsis_set_params, s5pcsis_probe, s5pcsis_suspend, and s5pcsis_resume, as they seem to be using bits from that include that my system doesn't have. Then build.sh will complete successfully. The rest of the instructions worked as-is. >>________________________________ >>From: Andy Walls <[email protected]> >>To: Greg Fruth <[email protected]>; User discussion about IVTV >><[email protected]> >>Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 2:32 AM >>Subject: Re: [ivtv-users] HVR-1600 frontend initialization failed >> >>Yes media_tree is a whole kernel build; you likely don't want that. >> >>It is my understanding that the media_build pulls down a media_tree and tries >>to build only the v4l-dvb modules for your kernel version.
