I need some help. I am tring to build ivtv-0.4.0 on a new install of R5B7 to see if
helps with some video issues that I am having. (video image freezes on rewind and ff, it
will still rewind and ff though -- just can't see where its at)

What do I need to get/do in order to build ivtv-0.4.0 on R5B7?
This is what I am seeing when I try to build:

thanks all

I think you're SOL. It seems to need an older version of the v4l stuff, and Cecil (along with MytTV?) has moved on to v4l2.

thanks for reply tjc!

I've been reading a lot of threads about r5b7 and am somewhat concerned about my hardware being obsoleted. I am running 2 pvr500s and they work well out of the box under 30.2 but I have a terrible static in the audio under b7. I have been able to find very little on fixes for this either here or on the ivtv forums.

I was going to stick with the 30.2 for a while to see what happens but don't want to be stuck there as myth and knoppmyth march on. I know no one has a crystal ball but should I abandon these cards?

pvr500's are actually fairly new cards. I would say they should be supported for quite some time.
