IVTV problems

Post #1 of 8 (4270 views)

As per the Gentoo Wiki MythTV guide

we are trying to install ivtv but get the following.

* You have the msp3400 module that comes with the kernel. It isn't compatible
* with ivtv. You need to back it up to somewhere else, then run
'update-modules'
* The file to remove
is //lib/modules/2.6.14-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/media/video/msp3400.ko

* You have the tda9887 module that comes with the kernel. It isn't compatible
* with ivtv. You need to back it up to somewhere else, then run
'update-modules'
* The file to remove
is //lib/modules/2.6.14-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/media/video/tda9887.ko

* You have the tuner module that comes with the kernel. It isn't compatible
* with ivtv. You need to back it up to somewhere else, then run
'update-modules'
* The file to remove
is //lib/modules/2.6.14-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/media/video/tuner.ko

* You have the tveeprom module that comes with the kernel. It isn't
compatible
* with ivtv. You need to back it up to somewhere else, then run
'update-modules'
* The file to remove
is //lib/modules/2.6.14-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/media/video/tveeprom.ko

>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
>>> media-tv/ivtv-0.4.0-r2 merged.

Can I remove the offending modules with make menuconfig?
Where are they found?
Or do I manually remove the files?

Either delete them or move them to another directory.

The ivtv modules replace all of the named modules so you don't loose anything

Your next mission will be firmware loading :)

Answering my own question:

I removed
<M> BT848 Video For Linux
and
<M> Bt87x Audio Capture

re-emerged ivtv

and now I think ivtv is working.

Would you care to elaborate Craig?

We are having problems (mental blocks perhaps) tuning the card now.

We have managed to capture the input from Sky using the component input

ivtvctl -n

mythtv ~ # ivtvctl --set-input=2
ioctl VIDIOC_S_INPUT ok
Video input set to 2

but using the tuner input we do not know how to tune it.

Is there a howto for NZ? (which we can understand / follow)

So are you stuck at how to test the tuner with Free-To-Air channels?
Or how to get sky via the tuner?

The only way I know to get sky via the tuner is to set the capture
card channel to 38 (or whatever channel you've set your sky decoder
to use - it's in the advanced preferences of the sky decoder from
memory.) I believe 38 is what quite a few of the sky installers use
by default.

If it's FTA TV then you can use ptune-ui.pl to play round with. Just
find ptune-ui.pl (might be /usr/lib/ivtv/ )
then

./ptune-ui.pl &
mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0

Just don't change channels to quickly, as depending on your hardware
there may be a noticable delay between changing the tuner, and then
seeing it in mplayer

http://zaf.geek.nz/projects/mythtv/channels.php
has a list of channel ids if you need them.

The channels ids then get used in mythtv-setup, but you should be
able to suss that out at the right time.

A couple of things Robert.

1. did you use the ivtv from portage or did you just download and hand
compile the driver? I did the latter as the ivtv ebuilds were very
flaky at the time - around April this year IIRC.
http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Download

2. ivtv is a fast moving target. My version is 0.3.6r. I haven't
bothered to update it as it just works.

Current stable is 0.4.0, unstable is 0.5.0.
http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Download . By contrast the ebuilds
available are:

* media-tv/ivtv
Available versions: ~0.2.0_rc3-r4 ~0.2.0_rc3-r5 ~0.3.8

3. there are ebuilds for the perl based tuning tools:

* dev-perl/Video-ivtv
Available versions: ~0.12 ~0.13
Installed: none
Homepage: http://ivtv.sourceforge.net
Description: Video::ivtv perl module, for use with
ivtv-ptune

* media-tv/ivtv-ptune
Available versions: ~0.2.0_rc3
Installed: none
Homepage: http://ivtv.sourceforge.net
Description: ivtv tuner perl scripts

Whether these are up to date i do not have a clue.

No we can get Sky either with the component input or when we get our tuning
sorted.

We use 26 and it now works.

Thanks but they were for Auckland. We are in Christchurch and they are all
different

Tuning is working fine now.
