Hi, I'm copying my post from the Ubuntu Forums: // starts here
Hi, I'm running Linux Mint 12 32-bit (the equivalent of Ubuntu 11.10) with the 3.2.49 kernel and I have the TV card from the title. Manufacturer's website: http://www.prolink.com.tw/style/frame/templates15/product_detail.asp?lang=2&customer_id=1470&name_id=36169&rid=17744&id=79936&content_set=color_5 I have properly installed the latest V4L drivers following this guide: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers However, it looks like the driver doesn't have support for this particular card as noted in the first warning in the above article. The proper kernel module (cx23885) loads, but it doesn't do anything. I've tried it with MythTV, Kaffeine and VLC and all of them report that there is no capture card. This is the output of lspci -v: 04:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23885 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 02) Subsystem: PROLINK Microsystems Corp Device 4980 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at fbe00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2M] Capabilities: [40] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [90] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [a0] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Kernel driver in use: cx23885 Kernel modules: cx23885 The output of dmesg is here: http://pastebin.com/yVK2NE3u Trying to modprobe the module with other card ids just spits out a bunch of errors in dmesg. // ends here I have been googling a lot and found no information whatsoever about this and similar PlayTV Cinema cards on Linux. After receiving no reply on Ubuntu Forums, on linuxtv.org wiki I found that I can contact LMML directly about driver support. So I was wondering if there is any way to add support for this and similar cards to the cx23885 driver. I am willing to provide more information if necessary. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
