Hi Everybody, Has anyone got a KWorld Xpert PCI TV Tuner card (VS-TV878RF) working under Linux. I would be grateful if you could let me know how to get it working under Linux.
If I boot into windows, watch a channel, then _reboot_ into linux, I can see the channel last viewed under windows (but no other channel, and tvtime-scanner detects no other channel). However, if I cold boot into linux, tvtime-scanner detects no channel and no picture is displayed. According to http://www.bttv-gallery.de/ my card number is 78, and tuner=5 ----------------------------------------------------------------- chips: 25878-13, Tuner: TN 5V TNF-9831-B/DFF BG+DK checked pcb: 878TV REV:D sticker on backside: VS-TV878RF Made in Taiwan 04111260162 bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:02:0c.0, irq: 11, latency: 32, mmio: 0xef000000 bttv0: using: Jetway TV/Capture JW-TV878-FBK, Kworld KW-TV878RF [card=78,insmod option] bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=003fffff [init] bttv0: using tuner=5 ------------------------------------------------------------------ The KWorld card I have mentions "VS-TV878RF" on the box. After some googling, I found out about the btspy windows utility. So I used it to get info about the card. I found that the guy who mentioned it (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=160271) got exactly the same values as my run of btspy gave me. So I tried his modprobe line (after rmmod bttv): ---------------------------------------------- modprobe bttv card=78 radio=1 tuner=38 pll=1 gbuffers=4 gpiomask=0x1c0007 \ audiomux=0x080000,0x000001,0x080000,0x080000,0x000001 ---------------------------------------------- But still no progress. I thought my tuner must be a different one. So, I booted into windows, copied the frequencies of some working tv channels and went to linux (cold boot) and created a custom stationlist.xml with those channels. After that I tried this: ------------------------------------------------- for i in `seq 0 45`; do rmmod bttv; modprobe bttv card=78 radio=1 pll=1 tuner=$i; sleep 1; tvtime --frequencies=custom --norm=PAL; done -------------------------------------------------- None of the 45 tuners worked, i.e. tvtime could not show any of those channels :-( I have also tried all the cards (all 120 of them) with the tuner=5 option. No progress. I am getting out of ideas and google is not giving out any new information. Please suggest if I should try anything else. Regards, Santanu Chatterjee Using Tomcat but need to do more?
