All, See the original posting below. I since have come to realize that I left an important piece of information: I also have a PVR-150 card running the ivtv 0.3 drivers in the system!
I upgraded the kernel today to troubleshoot, and accidentally forgot to reinstall the ivtv drivers. To my surprise, the DVB channels worked as expected! (but my local tv channels did not!) So, I tried reinstalling ivtv 0.3.9, without renaming the various kernel modules as suggested by the installer, to see if that fixed things. Now my tv channels work again (in spite of running several kernel modules!), but my DVB in Mythtv is dead, with the same errors (see posting below) However, in this setup, mythtv can tune to tv, and in a different X session, I can run szap to tune the bttv satellite card and then run mplayer to watch the satellite video just fine! Ie. both the pvr-150 and twinhan dvb-s card can be accessed at the same time! So, this seems to be an interaction problem between the kernel bttv drivers, the ivtv drivers, and mythtv. Question is: where to start, which of the three is the issue? mythtv, bttv or ivtv? Specs: kernel = 2.6.12-1.1378_FC3 bttv = 0.9.15 (came with kernel) ivtv = 0.3.9 (previously was 0.3.7h) mythtv = 0.18.1-114 (x86_64) from atrpms ivtv loaded from /etc/modprobe.conf as: #PVR150-MCE, NTSC, tuner 47 alias char-major-81 ivtv alias char-major-81-0 ivtv options cx25840 i2c_enable=1 options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 and satellite card load from S99local, right before start of mythbackend as: #Twinhan 1022A DVB-S card /sbin/modprobe dvb_core dvb_shutdown_timeout=0 /sbin/modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71 /sbin/modprobe bt878 /sbin/modprobe dst verbose=5 debug=1 /sbin/modprobe dvb-bt8xx Is it possible this is fixed in latest cvs code? Thanks for all the help! Johan On 23/09/05, Johan Reinalda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
All, I have just added a DVB-S card to my myth system, to replace an external satellite receiver pointing to IntelSat-Americas 5. OS drivers load fine, scan discovered the channels, szap tuning works fine, and I can view the FTA (free-to-air) channel with mplayer looking at the TS stream on /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 Running mythtvsetup, and configuring it for the DVB card, then in the Channel Edit section, I setup a transport for the transponder I want, and do a channel scan: this find all the fta channels just fine, and seems to populate them into the database. When I next run myth, I see the new fta channels in the guide, but I cannot switch to them in Live TV, or setup recordings. In the backend log, I see the following error: DVB#0 WARNING - Unsupported fec_inner parameter. followed by messages that seem to indicate a transponder lock (ie proper tuning): DVB#0 Status: LOCK. DVB#0 Multiplex Locked DVB#0 Successfully tuned to channel 153. Also, the database tables that seem to relate to dvb (dvb_channel,dvb_pids,dvb_sat,dvb_signal_quality) are all emtpy! What am I missing here? How do I get the tables properly populated? (ie why does the channel scan not fill these?)
