In 0.18.1, ivtv 0.4.1: I'm convinced I'm doing something dumb, but I can't see it.
I'm trying to set up a PVR-250 such that it can record from either analog cable via its RF-in, or from digital cable via its composite input, which is connected to a cable box. I defined two different lineups at zap2it, one corresponding to each, with the digital lineup having only one channel enabled (since I'm not trying to change channels on the cable box under machine control yet---I'm just trying to get the video signal path working first). I assigned the digital lineup to the Composite 0 input of card #0 (e.g., /dev/video0), so that card now had both Composite 0 and Tuner 0 assigned. If I try to record an analog channel via RF, it works as it always did. If I try to record the single digital channel, I get black video. I'm running the backend with "-v all" and see the logging below, which sure looks like it's trying to change to composite-in. I've tried plugging the end of the cable that's plugged into the PVR-250 directly into a TV, and I see video. I verified that I knew which card was card 0 by unplugging the RF input while recording via RF, and sure enough the recording went to snow. So why am I seeing nothing but black video? It -does- work to have a single card set so it switches between RF-in and composite-in, right? (I haven't tried audio-in yet 'cause I don't have the right kind of connector. However, I -do- have one of the A/V cable sets attached as well to give me a second composite-in; I don't know which composite input that actually -is- [I'd guess #1, if the one built into the card is #0], but I don't see video if I plug into that, either, though I haven't (yet) tried assigning to Composite 1 and then seeing if plugging in there works. I was originally running this test on /dev/video0, and then moved to /dev/video2 in case there was something wrong with the first card, with no change in behavior; the log below is from the /dev/video2 run. That card does -not- have an A/V cable set attached to it, so it's only got 1 composite input.) 2005-12-09 05:03:19.763 Scheduled 2 items in 0.1 = 0.09 match + 0.01 place 2005-12-09 05:03:19.765 Started recording "201 SUNDAE - 05:00 (Manual Record)" on channel: 2201 on cardid: 3, sourceid 2 2005-12-09 05:03:19.768 Channel(/dev/video2)::SwitchToInput(in 0) 2005-12-09 05:03:19.783 scheduler: Last message repeated 1 times 2005-12-09 05:03:19.786 scheduler: Schedule Change 2005-12-09 05:03:19.786 45 BACKEND_MESSAGE[]:[]SCHEDULE_CHANGE[]:[]empty 2005-12-09 05:03:19.940 Channel(/dev/video2)::SwitchToInput() setting video mode to NTSC 2005-12-09 05:03:19.940 Channel(/dev/video2)::TuneTo(): curList[-1].freq(-1) 2005-12-09 05:03:19.966 51 BACKEND_MESSAGE[]:[]RECORDING_LIST_CHANGE[... 2005-12-09 05:03:19.966 Changing from None to RecordingOnly 2005-12-09 05:03:19.977 Using profile 'Default' to record 2005-12-09 05:03:19.978 Channel(/dev/video2)::CheckSignalFull(): input = 0 2005-12-09 05:03:20.021 Can't enable VBI recording 2005-12-09 05:03:20.021 VBI service:4, packet size:0, io size:0 2005-12-09 05:03:22.273 13 ACCEPT[]:[]15 2005-12-09 05:03:22.279 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-12-09 05:03:22.279 adding: sbe as a client (events: 0) 2005-12-09 05:03:22.279 2 OK 2005-12-09 05:03:22.289 438 QUERY_REMOTEENCODER 6[]:[]MATCHES_RECORDIN... 2005-12-09 05:03:22.301 27 3[]:[]192.168.0.20[]:[]6543
