| Post subject: | How To Get Plextor ConvertX TV-402U Working In R5E50 |
First, if your'e checking out this thread now, its a work in progress. Im trying to backtrace all of my steps one by one, so have patience with me please. Also, this guide is going to be assuming you already have a R5E50 version of Knoppmyth installed. I hope this works for you step by step, but if not, use your brain. If anyone else has input from their experience doing this, that would be great. Im a newbie to Linux, so if there's someone more experienced that could help shorten or better this guide, feel free. If you find this helpful, give me some feedback. Thanks. After Knoppmyth setup is complete, exit knoppmyth to the desktop and open a terminal prompt. Login as root $su Download the kernel-source and correct the symbolic links, etc. $wget ftp://knoppmyth.net/R5/linux-source-2.6 ... om_all.deb $dpkg -i linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13_2.6.18-chw-13-10.00.Custom_all.deb $cd /usr/src $tar xjvf linux-source<tab> $cd /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-chw-13 $cp -r . ../linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13 $cp /boot/config-2.6.18-chw-13 .config $cd /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13 $make ##This could take a little while $cd /usr/src $rm linux $ln -s linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13 linux $cd /lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13 $rm build $ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13 build Search for all of you alsa packages. $dpkg-query -l |grep alsa That should return several alsa packages. You need to remove the ones that say 'alsa-base' and 'alsa-modules-2.6.18-chw-13'. $dpkg -r alsa-base $dpkg -r alsa-modules-2.6.18-chw-13 Download the go7007 driver and untar it. $wget http://oss.wischip.com/wis-go7007-linux-0.9.8.tar.bz2 $tar -xjvf wis-go7007-linux-0.9.8.tar.bz2 Download the go7007 patch for kernel 2.6.18. You must run the patch in the directory above the wis-go7007~ directory. $wget http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=103288 $patch -p0 < attachment.cgi?id=103288 Now install the go7007 driver. $cd wis-go7007<tab> $make clean $make $make install USE_UDEV=y Last of all we must edit the /etc/udev/rules.d/wis-ezusb.rules file so that the go7007 load everytime on boot, otherwise you'll get a firmware error when udev initializes. $cp /etc/udev/rules.d/wis-ezusb.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/wis-ezusb.rules.sav $nano /etc/udev/rules.d/wis-ezusb.rules There are two lines that look like this: ACTION=="add", BUS=="usb", ENV{PRODUCT}=="93b/a004/*", \ RUN+="/sbin/fxload -t fx2 -I /lib/firmware/ezusb/hpi_PX-TV402U.hex" Modify the lines to look like this: ACTION=="add", BUS=="usb", ENV{PRODUCT}=="*93b/a004/*", \ RUN+="/usr/sbin/lsusb -d 093b: | /usr/bin/awk '{print "/sbin/fxload -t fx2 -D /proc/bus/usb/"substr(%2"/"%4,1,7)" -I /lib/firmware/ezusb/hpi_PX-TV402U.hex";}' | sh Notice the only thing that changes on the ACTION line is the "*" in front of the 93b/ . Got that part from here: http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page ... stallation Thanks guys. |

I haven't used my TV-402U since I bought my PVR150. Does Myth still only support MPEG-4 on the TV-402U? When I tried it with R5A26, it wouldn't record in the MPEG-2 format which I needed for my EPIA frontened. I might have to try it again on my test R5E50 system. |

Will the new driver be included in the next release? |

Additional tips for R5F27 are to follow instructions regarding the kernel from http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=16730 and then pick up this thread where the intro on that one finishes. But, when you get to the download info and patching for the Go7007 get a fully patched driver (the wischip.com links are dead) that will cover up to Linux Kernel 2.6.24 here: http://nikosapi.org/wiki/index.php?title=WIS_Go7007_Linux_driver in other words: Code: $wget http://nikosapi.org/software/WIS_Go7007/wis-go7007-linux-0.9.8-2.tar.bz2
$tar -xjvf wis-go7007-linux-0.9.8-2.tar.bz2 $cd wis-go7007-linux-0.9.8-2 $make clean $make $make install USE_UDEV=y Worked for me, don't forget to check your sound input in myth-setup, and then to also correct the recording profiles associated with the Plextor to 640x480 as they default to 480x480 resulting in a green scrambled screen. arri |

I haven't yet set this up for R5.5, but the automatic upgrade killed my Plextor configuration. Hints? edited, welp, about a week later, possibly after I set up a storage group, my Plextor showed up. dunno. arri |
