Hi, Back now as Sid is on the mend. I've managed to load my pvr-500 using ivtv 0.3.8 and firmware 0x02050032 and both tuners seem to be working with audio and video, BUT:
When I play the stream in mplayer using mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0 (or directly into X11 without the -vo switch) I am getting strange vertical lines appearing in 3 blocks all the way across the picture (playing in mplayer) like this: ||||||| ||||||| ||||||| They also appear capturing from composite in, so have nothing to do with the tuner, and when playing a file written to disk from the 500. These do not appear if I play an mpeg2 file not captured from the 500 (test file from the net), so they are not being generated by the screencard. I can only think this has to do with the paramaters I've used to set up the card. I'm following Jarods wonderful guide and have used the ivtvctl -u 0xff ivtvctl -p 4 ivtvctl -f width=720,height=576 options to set the card up for PAL Has anyone else seen these lines and what did they do to fix it?
