Hello,
I've gotten somewhat far with my second Knoppmyth install (first didn't work out that well), but I'm currently stuck, and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to give me a hand. System: Athlon XP 2000+/PVR-250/Radeon 9000. I will be using it to record Sky in the UK, i.e. analog TV over the composite input. I have gotten this machine to work perfectly for that purpose using SageTV so I've pretty much ruled out any bad hardware issues.
So, the first part of the install is reasonably straightforward, although I have to go through the special ATI TV-out procedures as detailed in the wiki. Then, after mythtv-setup has run (I select i686 modules, no bootsplash), in the general config in the setup options, under capture cards I select PVR-x50. But when I select dev/video0 it says "could not open '/dev/video0' to probe its inputs'.
Now what is really wacky about this is that I had a previous install (the one that didn't work out that well) where it successfully auto-detected the card on dev/video0, although it was never possible to get an actual video feed to appear from that device. Also, ivtv reports detecting the chipset during boot on this install.
I tried cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg to troubleshoot, and I get the error 'cat: /dev/video0: No such file or directory'. Now I'm not sure how to proceed. Any troubleshooting advice?
My other trouble is that I absolutely cannot get X11VNC to work, though I can ssh in with no issues, and the network and DNS are fully functioning on the mythtv box. I've followed the x11VNC instructions in the wiki but all of my connections are refused. Having VNC working would make the troubleshooting less stressful, since I only have a TV attached.
Many thanks for any tips or help!
Here is the ivtv/bttv section of my syslog:
