Hi, what is supposed to work after installation and the first configuration? I can listen to a music CD and check the weather forecast for my city, but that's about it. I can't watch TV and I can't watch DVD movies. OK the configuration hangs when it is up to fill the database. It gives some error messages first, but after a while it hangs. Could this depend on my geographic situation (sweden) or is it my hardware? I have a Via Epia ME-6000, 512 KB DDR-RAM, a Hauppauge PVR 250, a 80 GB Barracuda and a DVD+RW. I also have 2.5 Mbps DSL connection to the internet, so the bandwith should not be that much of a problem. Maybe the CPU lack some of the features compiled into the code (SSE etc.) Any ideas would be very helpfull. - Janne |

Quote: not enough free buffers means that the card had a
frame to send, but there were not enough free buffers to handle it, so it dropped the frame. you can try increasing the value of "mpg_buffers" (driver load option).. that helps some folks 'modinfo ivtv' will tell you all the options to the driver You can find more info on the ivtv mailing list. http://www.poptix.net/ivtv You can play DVDs just not encrypted ones. What error are you getting with the database? Sorry, I don't know if it has to do with your location(always wanted to visit Sweden!). Perhaps you can find more info at: http://membled.com/work/apps/xmltv/ You did install the i586 packages right? cesman |

I would suggest you check out /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/ for some help in getting your DVDs to work. tyro |

Yes, I installed the i586 packages. Regarding the DVD problems, I tried to manually to start the Mplayer with a reguar mpeg file. It fails with 'Illegal instruction'. The output tells me that it is compiled for MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx and SSE. Maybe this is a problem for my simple CPU? I haven't added any extra configs for the Mplayer yet, so i falls back to the default behaviour. - Janne |
