| Post subject: | PVR-350: mplayer works, but xawtv doesn't |
I've just installed KnoppMyth R4v4.1 on a box with a Hauppauge PVR-350, and I'm having trouble getting TV to work: when I select "Watch TV" in MythTV, I get a black screen for a few seconds, then it exits. When I run xawtv in a shell, I (sometimes) get a second or so of noise when I change channels, then a black window. Normally, I'd suspect misconfigured devices. But when I run 'mplayer /dev/video0', it shows the video correctly. So presumably the problem lies closer to xawtv than to the devices. Here's what 'lspci -v' has to say about the PVR-350: Code: 00:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15 MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01) Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.: Unknown device 4000 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 12 Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 I'm running xawtv 3.88, off of the KnoppMyth R4v4.1 CD. I tried building 3.94, but that didn't seem to fix anything. I saw that some people have been told to try moving the PVR to a different PCI slot. Unfortunately, this isn't an option for me: this is a bare-bones machine with only one PCI slot. I don't have bttv loaded, since 'modprobe bttv' complains that Code: /lib/modules/2.4.25-chw/v4l2/bttv.o: init_module: No such device
Then again, since /dev/video0 is giving me a signal, perhaps I don't need it. Or do I? Any suggestions? Thanks. |

Because it seemed the best place to post it. Why do you ask? At any rate, I've found the answer elsewhere: xawtv can't deal with MPEG input. |

I ask because this isn't a KnoppMyth installation issue. KnoppMyth ->Installation is for KnoppMyth related installation issues and questions. A search of the forum would have yield the answer. |

Where would you have put it? cesman wrote: KnoppMyth ->Installation is for KnoppMyth related installation issues and questions.

Where? I just searched for "xawtv mplayer pvr" and only got this thread. A search for "xawtv mplayer" found a bunch of threads, with one possible hint at a solution... in "Installation" http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... layer#2580 |

It isn't. Don't like. Don't use it. |
