I have tried to configure this as best as I can, read numerous HOWTOs
(many of them inconsistent with each other) and help from the list
(Thanks Mike) and fiddeled for hours with the system.
What I get is:
* When X11 goes to the VGA connected montitor I can also play video to
the montior.
* When X11 goes to TV-out on the PVR350 I get MythTV frontend on the TV,
but no output from playing video.
I have not tried setting up channels and watching TV yet. However, I am
able to tune to a channel and record stuff using:
./ptune.pl -f pal-europe -c E5
dd if=/dev/video0 of=test.mpg bs=64k
If I from a "clean" system (meaning no ivtv/media modules loded) do:
modprobe ivtv
I can watch what I have recorded on the TV-out (dd if=test.mpg
of=/dev/video16 bs=64k). However, in order to run X11 I have to run
ivtv-fb:
modprobe ivtv-fb
The MythTV fronten starts and everything works nicely (except lirc,
which works when using a monitor? I'll look more into this when
everything else works). dd as above does not work. However, running
mplayer:
mplayer test.mpg
gives a full screen on the monitor, but sloowwllyy/jerky.
mplayer -vo fbdev test.mpg
gives a smaller picture, but much smother. Encouraged, I try:
mplayer -vo fbdev -fb /dev/fb1 test.mpg
But mplayer only gives:
"MPlayer 0.92-3.3.2 (C) 2000-2003 MPlayer Team
:
VDec: vo config request - 720 x 576 (preferred csp: Planar YV12)

fbdev: Can't mmap /dev/fb1: Invalid argument

FATAL: Could not initialize video filters (-vop) or video output (-vo).
Exiting... (End of file)"
My ivtv-modules file:
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias /dev/v4l ivtv
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 saa7127 tuner
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c
I use ivtv 0.3.1x. MythTV R4V4. 2.4.26-epia2 kernel on a Epia M10000.
Not sure where to look further. Any help appreciated.
