| Post subject: | PVR-150 on R5A12: Black scrn or "unable to initialize v |
Hi all: Well, I finally managed to get ivtv installed and working. I can capture video from my PVR-150 (retail) from the Linux command line. However, still no picture in Myth (R5A12). I just get a black screen. I've tried disabling XvMC, but that didn't help. First question: What tuner type should I have set in mythsetup? I'm assuming it's "Hardware mpeg2 (PVR250/PVR-350)" ? Here is a snip from my mythbackend.log Code: Starting up as the master server.
2005-05-14 10:23:10.213 mythbackend version: 0.17.20050130-1 www.mythtv.org 2005-05-14 10:23:10.217 Enabled verbose msgs : important general 2005-05-14 10:23:12.197 Reschedule requested for id -1. 2005-05-14 10:23:12.206 Scheduled 0 items in 0.0 = 0.01 match + 0.00 place 2005-05-14 10:23:12.211 Seem to be woken up by USER 2005-05-14 10:23:31.678 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-05-14 10:23:31.682 adding: box as a client (events: 0) 2005-05-14 10:23:31.723 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-05-14 10:23:31.725 adding: box as a client (events: 1) 2005-05-14 10:23:31.733 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-05-14 10:23:31.735 adding: box as a client (events: 0) 2005-05-14 10:23:31.742 ERROR opening file in ThreadedFileWriter. /cache/cache/ringbuf1.nuv: No such file or directory QSettings: error creating /.qt 15 12:02:45.183 adding: box as a client (events: 1) The /cache/cache directory exists, and is mounted. Same situation for the /myth/tv directory. Can anyone suggest what to try next? Thanks in advance. Shplad |

The 150 is a hardware mpeg2 encoder so.... |

The secret to fixing your Linux problems: Post a message for yourself to read, and then fix it yourself. Heh. I guess it cues the memory or something. The problem is fixed now. I'm not sure exactly what did it, but it looks like I had to redo some of the permissions on the disk. I now have video, though it needs a lot of work to improve the quality. shplad |

I'm having the same problems with the black screen. Can't exit and I have to then reboot the box using the Webmin tool. Two questions: Which permissions did you change/set? What settings do you have in your Capture Card Setup screen? So far I have: Card type - MPEG-2 Encoder Card (PVR-250. 350) Video device - / Default input - Television Thanks in advance |
