here is the output from dmesg:

I am able to get a picture through Composite by changing the input to 2,
however, the picture is black and white. I am also able to get a picture
to come through SVideo by changing the input to 1, however, its black
and white and extremely snowy. There is no audio. Any help that you can
provide would be awesome. I will give you all the information that you
need. I am pretty new to linux, I am running Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit, my
kernel is 2.6.28-13-generic. I am a software engineer so I am pretty
savvy with the keyboard and the know how, however, this little gizmo has
thrown me for a loop.

Thanks in advance.

Well this should be pretty straight-forward if the card has no unsual
chips on it (can you provide a list?). It really means just adding an
appropriate card entry in ivtv-cards.c and adding a new card id to
ivtv-driver.[ch].

I can add a skeleton entry to an development repo in the next day or so
(family events are going on today), and then you'll have to follow a
process such as the one outlined here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/ivtv-devel@ivtvdriver.org/msg05472.html

You could of course try to build the card entry yourself and follow the
process and not wait on me.

Andy

Well the NewEgg pictures don't show the detail, plus they show two
different cards anyway. :(

The easiest thing is to pull out the card and write down the
numbers/letters on the chips. Also if you can gently peel back the
AverMedia sticker on the tuner can and see what the real part numbers
are on the analog tuner, that would save us a lot of guessing.

OK. If you can provide a list of chips on the card (or good, readable
digital photos), I can build up a skeleton entry.

Good.

Full support for your board should be doable. There will probably be
some nagging questions about details - what GPIO lines need to be set
for line in audio or FM radio - but base functionality should be easy to
achieve.

Don't take the tuner can apart. I know what parts may be in there, but
opening up the can won't be terribly help. We'll just make some guesses
and the tuner will work OK.

The actual tuner can part number would have been on the small
rectangular sticker on the top of the can. Can you read through the
back of it, since it probably lifted off with the Avermedia sticker?

OK. I'll still make a guess.

Sure, give me a day or two. Iwon't have time to work on this for a few
days, but I already have a test repository set up for when I have
patches for you:

Todd,

I think I found the analog tuner used on your card: Philips FM1236MK5
(most likely)


Here
http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids

is listed

1461 c019 UltraTV 1500 MCE, a.k.a. M113 PCI Analog TV (NTSC+FM, Philips FQ1236MK5 tuner)

But I know for a fact the FQ series doesn't have FM and your card does
have FM. This is likely a typo for the FM1236MK5.


See also this picture:

http://www.bttv-gallery.de/high/CardFront.jpg_avermedia_1461_c019_a.jpg

which shows an FM1236/F H-5 on the sticker.

And here, it looks like your card is a renamed variant of the AverMedia
M113 units:

Todd,

In a development repository, I have added a patch for the AVerMedia
UltraTV 1500 MCE (the newer version, which is an M113 variant):

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~awalls/ivtv/
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~awalls/ivtv/rev/ebb0ea04b057

Please test this change. It may be simplest to follow the "Bleeding
Edge" instructions here:

http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Download#Bleeding_Edge_driver

except substituting these links as the .bz2 or .gz link:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~awalls/ivtv/archive/tip.tar.bz2
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~awalls/ivtv/archive/tip.tar.gz



BTW, I think I have everything right. My concern is the 74HC4052 Dual
4:1 multiplxer control for audio. If you have audio for TV tuner and
Line-In, then I got it right (for the most part).

By inspection of the photo you sent me, I'm almost sure I got FM radio
audio correct as well. However, I think a recently introduced ivtv
driver bug for FM radio for boards with GPIO controlled audio
multiplexers (like this one) may prevent FM radio mode from working
properly. Don't be surprised.

Regards,
Andy

Todd,

$ cd ~
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ wget http://linuxtv.org/hg/~awalls/ivtv/archive/tip.tar.bz2
$ tar xjf tip.tar.bz2
$ cd ivtv-ebb0ea04b057
$ make <----------------- watch for errors during this process
$ su - root
# cd /home/todd/build/ivtv-ebb0ea04b057
# make install
# make unload; make unload
# modprobe ivtv

See if that works for you.


I have read that some Ubuntu versions can be problematic with this
installation procedure (said Ubuntu version puts modules in some
nonstandard place or something). I can't really help too much with
that. I've got Fedora systems.

To see all the ivtv modules installed on your system:

$ find /lib/modules -name "ivtv.*" -ls

Check the dates, and it should be obvious which one was installed by you
compiling the repository. The ivtv module you compiled will depend on
the versions of other modules (videodev, tveeprom, etc) that you
compiled. You'll have to figure out how to get your distro to use what
you compiled, if it doesn't appear to be doing so.

Andy

Todd,

Good initiative - but no. That index points to which .audio_inputs
entry to use when you switch to that .video_inputs entry.

What is worth checking is that the PCI IDs in this:

+static const struct ivtv_card_pci_info ivtv_pci_aver_ultra1500mce[] = {
+ { PCI_DEVICE_ID_IVTV16, IVTV_PCI_ID_AVERMEDIA, 0xc019 },
+ { 0, 0, 0 }
+};

match what is shown for your card by

$ /sbin/lspci -nnv


I could have mistyped that.

You're welcome.

Although your workaround works for you, I unfortunately can't have it go
in for anyone else. Your workaround changes the default from a PVR-150
card configuration to your card configuration (claiming to be a PVR-150:
IVTV-CARD_PVR_150).

PCI ID detection appears to be failing. I'm not sure what's wrong yet.

Could you provide the output of

$ /sbin/lspci -nnv

for your system. I'm only interested in the CX23415 or CX23416 based
devices.

Thanks,
Andy

Thanks, Todd. I'm pretty sure, I've found the problem now. I forgot to
add the AVerMedia UltraTV 1500MCE to the ivtv_card_list[] array in
ivtv-cards.c. Oops! :/

I've commited a patch here:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~awalls/ivtv

it should work.

Regards,
Andy
