I have a PVR-250 that I just can't get to show up in /dev/video. I am running FC3 and I have been following Jarod's FC3 guide to the T, except now I have run into problems in step 10, setting up the capture card.
I have installed ivtv doing the following:
# apt-get install ivtv-firmware # apt-get install ivtv-kmdl-$KVER # apt-get install ivtv
Then put the following into /etc/modprobe.conf:
# ivtv modules setup alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
I run these commands:
# /sbin/depmod -a # /sbin/modprobe ivtv
Which run with no errors. Then checking I run:
# /sbin/lspci -v
Which yields:
00:09.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16
(CX23416)MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR 250
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 10
Memory at 30000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2Which worries me because I don't see the bus master and the latency flags that are in the results for both Jared's FC3 guide and the mythtv docs... but continuing...
I then run and get:
# ll /dev/video? ls: /dev/video: No such file or directory # /bin/dmesg |grep Initialized ieee1394: Initialized config rom entry `ip1394'
Which is not "ivtv: Initialized WinTV PVR 250, card #0" that I hoped it would be.
So I did some google searches and searched both the ivtv and the mythtv mail archives... None of the similar issues I found were quite like mine. One issue I know I have is the VIA chipset. I'm not sure it would cause this issue.
I am a newbie when it comes to Linux so any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks!
