Hello, I've been trying to get my PVR500 to work for a week or two and right now up to the point of having a (somewhat blurry) picture in MythTV. I can get sound too but only if I manually switch the Audio Tuner input from 0 to 1. ( ivtvctl -q 1)
While reading the README.cx25840 doc from the ivtv-0.3.7 driver I saw that to make audio work I'll need to use the switch -p 7 when initializing the driver.
This can be done by editing the files /etc/init.d/set_ivtv_params and it's config files /etc/sysconfig/ivtv/cfg-0 and /etc/sysconfig/ivtv/cfg-1
Code:
cat /etc/init.d/set_ivtv_params
#!/bin/bash
# Set the ivtv Parameters
########################################################################
IVTVCTL='ivtvctl'
IVTVDIR='/etc/sysconfig/ivtv'
#----------------------------------------------------------------------#
# Default values, if not specified in $IVTVDIR/cfg-*
#IVTV_DT='7' # Tuner input,
#IVTV_DF='PAL' # tuner format [NTSC|PAL]
########################################################################
[ -d "$IVTVDIR" ] || exit 1
PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin"
# See how we were called:
case $1 in
(start)
cd $IVTVDIR || exit 2
for g in $(echo cfg-*) ; do
f=${g#cfg-}
unset IVTV_TUNER IVTV_RATE IVTV_PEAK IVTV_TYPE
source cfg-$f
case $IVTV_TYPE in
("") IVTV_TYPE=0x3000 ;;
(NTSC) IVTV_TYPE=0x3000 ;;
(PAL) IVTV_TYPE=0xff ;;
esac
$IVTVCTL -d /dev/video$f -u $IVTV_TYPE
$IVTVCTL -d /dev/video$f -p ${IVTV_TUNER:-${IVTV_DT}}
$IVTVCTL -d /dev/video$f -f width=720,height=576
$IVTVCTL -d /dev/video$f -c dnr_mode=0,dnr_temporal=0
done
;;
(stop) # don't do anything on stop.

echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/set_ivtv_params {start|stop}"
exit 1

The only other file that has to be edited as far as I know is the file /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv. It's still vague to me what exactly should be in this file but I think it should be this:
Code:
cat /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_std=1 tuner=56,56 tda9887=0,0 ivtv_debug=1
options cx25840 i2c_enable=1
options saa7127 i2c_enable=-1
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
Now here's the thing I can't explain and hope one of you can help me with.
If I look at dmesg I see the setting getting parsed to the driver fine but then right before the end everything gets set back to default.

Up to here all looks well, the correct setting seems to be parsed as stated in de set_ivtv_params file but then, everything is reset to default values!

I must be missing something but I'm pretty much clueless right now.
Thanks for reading.
BTW, I started out with ivtv-0.3.6z with the same results.
