PVR 150 help

Post #1 of 6 (3599 views)

Hey folks,

When attempting to capture video from the PVR 150, I
get a 0 length file. I have not been able to find a
solution after searching the web.

When I execute the following, the result is 0 length
file.
cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test.mpg

I have tried doing this with the tuner input and the
composite input. Neither works.
I have the card connected to a Tivo.

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

I am running FC3 with a 2.6.12 kernel.

Update your firmware (see www.ivtvdriver.org for instructions). You may also
want to wait for the ivtv-0.4.0 stable release some time this weekend.

Remove the ivtv options. They're not needed (and select the wrong tuner too).

Thanks Hans.

I have updated the firmware. I also updated to the
new 4.0 driver. I removed all ivtv stuff from the
modprobe.conf file as well.
I still do not see anything when attempting to capture
from /dev/video0.

After doing a control-c to stop the capture, I see the
following log message:
Oct 9 11:16:46 Lion97 kernel: ivtv0 warning: ENC: DMA
still Pending while stopping capture!

Is there something else I am doing wrong?

Here is the dmesg log after upgrading to 4.0.

Do you have a windows box you can try the card on? If everything looks
ok but it's not working, it could be a hardware issue.
