Hi,

Just upgraded from C7->E50.
After install there were a host of problems.

One of them is that mythtv-setup says that it
cannot find my two encoder cards - a PVR-350 and
PVR-150.

grepping for ivtv in /var/log/messages shows everything starts ok.
However I see an error in /var/log/syslog:
ivtv: Unknown parameter `tda9887'

tda9887 is mentioned in several places under etc:
mythtv/modules/ivtv:#options ivtv tda9887=0 ivtv_std=2
mythtv/modules/ivtv:options ivtv tda9887=0 tuner=38,38 ivtv_std=2,2
mythtv/modules/ivtv:install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3400; /sbin/modprobe saa7115; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe td


Any thoughts on how to get around this one would be most appreciated.

that capture card setup in mythtv-setup says:

Probed Info: Failed to open

for PVR-x50

Cheers.
Paul

Please see the "R5E50 Upgrade hints and hazards" posting if you haven't already. Apparently a lot of people upgraded yesterday evening without reading this first...

You should probably update your /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv as well. Mine looks like this:

Even this is old. I really need to check what the one on the CD looks like...

I had that topic open on my laptop as I walked through the install. But there's a lot of really good info there in the followup posts and I missed this. Doh - on re-read its really obvious!

Thanks
Paul.

It seems that the answer was not quite that simple.

The options to ivtv have changed since C7.
I used to have:



but it seems that tda9887 and ivtv_std are no longer valid.
So ivtv failed to load.

ivtv_std used to be required for PAL, and I can't remember why tda9887 was required, but it was.

Seems to be going now.
Thanks for the help - your ivtv section did it for me.
Cheers.
Paul

I've updated this sticky thread with that information - http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4325
