| Post subject: | 'Failed to open' pvr-250 wont install |
I tried installing a fresh copy of R5F27 from scratch today but found myself stymied @ the capture card setup screen. I've installed knoppmyth several times, and never had this problem. When i chose the MPEG-2 encoder card (PVR-x50, PVR-500), the video device and default input select boxes were blank, and "probed info" read 'failed to open'. This failed to open message was repeated for a number of other input cards as well as i cycled through the card type. previously, the pvr-250, the card i have, worked great right away. Anyone have any ideas or how to point me in the right direction? |

What do the log files say? http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=CheckingLogFiles Have you monkeyed with the hardware or moved the machine recently? Have you checked that the card is properly seated and the like? |

Just finished posting my thank you for help on this exact problem. Ended up that the card had come lose when I moved the box. Try re seating the card before you start going thru log files. |

Double checking the physical connections is almost always good advice, but I still recommend checking the logs first, since it's generally easier to check the log files than to tear the box apart and check the card... |
