Hi, Can someone confirm the firmware rev compatible with the 0.4.1 driver please?
I also have a PVR-150 and the distortion on the top of the screen, and the issue where sound fails requiring a reboot/power cycle to restore sound. I pulled the v0.4.1 ivtv driver from the ivtvdriver.org download section and installed the latest firmware. md5sum /lib/modules/ivtv-fw-enc.bin /lib/modules/HcwMakoA.ROM 5f5fa240ada73c3565f5f7de4c7b5138 /lib/modules/ivtv-fw-enc.bin 3a4803384f749d644ee1f1ca9dcb12fa /lib/modules/HcwMakoA.ROM I also moved a copy of the firmware into /lib/firmware and also renamed them as the 0.5.0 driver would expect. To make sure the old drivers were gone I did the following: mv /lib/modules/2.6.13-1.1532_FC4/ivtv /root/ivtv-atrpms mkdir /lib/modules/2.6.13-1.1532_FC4/ivtv make make install depmod -ae roboot/power cycle On a reboot mplayer /dev/video0 works great Start mythbackend and mythfrontend Try to watch livetv and I get a timeout: 2005-12-15 08:54:21.241 Changing from None to WatchingPreRecorded 2005-12-15 08:54:21.619 Video timing method: SGI OpenGL 2005-12-15 08:54:23.401 Changing from WatchingPreRecorded to None 2005-12-15 08:54:23.492 Changing from None to None 2005-12-15 08:54:25.776 Using protocol version 15 2005-12-15 08:54:31.020 taking too long to be allowed to read.. 2005-12-15 08:54:36.023 taking too long to be allowed to read.. 2005-12-15 08:54:45.026 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2005-12-15 08:54:49.030 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2005-12-15 08:54:53.033 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2005-12-15 08:54:57.037 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2005-12-15 08:55:01.040 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2005-12-15 08:55:05.044 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2005-12-15 08:55:09.047 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2005-12-15 08:55:13.051 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2005-12-15 08:55:13.051 Waited 14 seconds for data to become available, aborting Couldn't read file: rbuf://192.168.123.1:6543/video/buffers/ringbuf3.nuv 2005-12-15 08:55:13.103 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV 2005-12-15 08:55:13.103 Decoder not alive, and trying to play.. 2005-12-15 08:55:33.117 ReadStringList timeout (quick).

At this point mplayer /dev/video0 hangs no output If I cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg is a zero length file. Looks like mythfrontend locks up the pvr-150. It takes a power cycle to get mplayer to work with /dev/video0 again. If I revert the firmware back to the older version mythfrontend no longer hangs but sound is garbled occasionally and it looks like livetv skips frames. (the video jumps). And the distortion returns on the top of the screen. No errors in mythfronnd or mythbackend. So with the 0.4.1 driver what version of firmware are you loading? Can you provide the md5sum? Also according to the dmesg output 0.4.1 still pulls the firmware from /lib/modules not from the /lib/firmware directory as I thought it would. ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 0.4.0 (tagged release) loading ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.0 ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info ivtv: between the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines when ivtv: mailing the ivtv-devel mailinglist. ivtv0: Autodetected WinTV PVR 150 card (iTVC16 based) ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:06.0[A] -> Link [LNK3] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10 i2c-algo-bit.o: (0) scl=1, sda=1 i2c-algo-bit.o: (1) scl=1, sda=0 i2c-algo-bit.o: (2) scl=1, sda=1 i2c-algo-bit.o: (3) scl=0, sda=1 i2c-algo-bit.o: (4) scl=1, sda=1 i2c-algo-bit.o: ivtv i2c driver #0 passed test. tveeprom: ivtv version tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 26032, rev = C199, serial# = 8136354 tveeprom: tuner = TCL 2002N 5H (idx = 99, type = 50) tveeprom: tuner fmt = NTSC(M) (eeprom = 0x08, v4l2 = 0x00001000) tveeprom: audio processor = CX25841 (type = 23) tveeprom: decoder processor = CX25841 (type = 1c) ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=tveeprom, addr=50] tuner (ivtv): chip found at addr 0xc2 i2c-bus ivtv i2c driver #0 ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=(tuner unset), addr=61] cx25840 2-0044: cx25841-23 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #0) cx25840 2-0044: loaded /lib/modules/HcwMakoA.ROM firmware (14264 bytes) ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=cx25840, addr=44] wm8775 2-001b: chip found @ 0x36 (ivtv i2c driver #0) ivtv0: i2c attach to card #0 ok [client=wm8775, addr=1b] ivtv0: loading /lib/modules/ivtv-fw-enc.bin ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02050032 ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder MPEG stream: 128 x 32768 buffers (4096KB total) ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder YUV stream: 194 x 10800 buffers (2048KB total) ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder VBI stream: 120 x 17472 buffers (2048KB total) ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder PCM audio stream: 455 x 4608 buffers (2048KB total) tuner: type set to 50 (TCL 2002N) by ivtv i2c driver #0 ivtv0: Initialized WinTV PVR 150, card #0 ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ==================== On Wednesday 14 December 2005 19:30, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Does it show when you do mplayer /dev/video0 ? > > I had the problem with my pvr-150mce untill I > > put in ivtv 0.4.1 and made double sure I got rid > > of all the old .ko files and ran depmod -ae so > > that only the newest drivers were found. > > > > Then I upgraded to the firmware recommend > > on the ivtvdriver.org site and the 150 is perfect now. > > Note there is a change in firmware nameing and > > location when you go to 0.4.1, but that puts you > > into good position for 0.5 when it becomes stable. -- Alan Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
