Hello,

Tired of trying to get btaudio to work on my old card, I just got a new PVR 250. I did a clean install auto install of KnoppMyth R4V2. However, I can't seem to get a picture. For testing purposes, I have my coax vcr out going into the PVR coax in.

I can't get a picture on any of the video sources using xawtv. I'm not entirely sure which source I should be trying but none of them work. For some reason the tuner has one channel defined (channel 62). I'm not sure what thats about.

I don't think that this card is being recognized. For some reason I thought that this card would be Plug and Play (Tier 1)

Here is my lspci:

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I'm a Linux n00b so please talk slow.

from a few posts I've read hauppage pulled a quick switch on some of the newer pvr250's and they don't work on the current drivers unless you apply a patch. I may be totally off on this, but I'm sure I read that. you may want to search the forum and the ivtv mailing list.

Is there any documentation on how to update the patch easiliy a laapt-get? A couple of posts that I saw said that I needed to recompile the kernel with new ivtv but nothing specific. Is this addressed in anyway for KnoppMyth?

If there is a patch(have not seen it...), you just needed to apply it and recompile ivtv. You don't need to recompile the kernel just for ivtv.

When the source is open, the possibilities are endless!

I couldn't find a patch to ivtv either. I have ivtv 0.1.9 which appears to be the latest version. The only really strange thing is this line in lspci:

00:11.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc: Unknown device 0016 (rev 01)

i still get that, but my setup works anyway. heh, guess i just got lucky?
and did you try ctrl+alt+(+ or - keys on the numberpad)... during my initial install, my monitor would go into standby when it tried to display the gui.

I actually got things working after trying different PCI slots - and doing several clean installations. It just worked for a while - I was able to record with picture and sound. Then I configured the ntp server and put a password on apache and restarted. On restart, I get

"Failed to open: /dev/video0: No such device"

This is really odd, I have restarted several times and nothing changed. The funny thing is that on the first startup, all I did was run the configuration - no modprobes or anything....

I also had a recording to run....there is a new .nuv file but it has 0 length.

Adrian

I just noticed that each time I moved the card to another PCI slot, the card would work for one boot and then not at all. As it turns out this is related to the VIA chipset problem

Found that post related to the VIA chipset. Ended up going into by Bios settings to turn off the parrallel port support (PNP was already off). That fixed the problem with the card being knocked out on second boot. My system is up and recording.

Video quality is pretty good but there is some motion blue (I'm moving the mpeg files from the PVR and open them on my windows machine until I get a decent video card for the myth box).
