| Post subject: | Turner card SA7130 not detected! |
Thanks for taking the time to help me. I downloaded KnoppMyth vR5A30 yesterday so I've got a fairly new version. I've got everything working except for my turner card. Quite simply I don't think its getting detected. At boot I get "No Multimedia Device Found....". It scrolls to fast I can't read the rest. I ran lspci to get the model on my turner card and here's the output: Code: 0000:00:14.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01) I went to Video4Linux's site to see if my card was supported and it seems like it was. I found a driver that supported the saa713x. Here's the link: http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/saa7134.html . So I know my card will work I just need to find a way. I'm not sure which version of V4L KnoppMyth comes with so I can't be sure if they include this driver already. Anyway taking the last option I had, I downloaded the driver from: http://dl.bytesex.org/releases/video4linux/ and extracted it on my MythTV box. I looked at the files and really I have no idea how to compile the drivers. There's not much help in the doc directory. :( There's no ./configure command so I skipped to making. Make failed and so did make install. Update, I thought the above until I did dmesg. Turns out it does recognize my card. So something else is going wrong. When I press Watch TV I get a blank black screen. At start I still get that "No Multimedia Device Found" Here's my dmesg output: Code: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.14 loaded ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [PIN1] enabled at IRQ 9 PCI: setting IRQ 9 as level-triggered ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:14.0[A] -> Link [PIN1] -> GSI 9 (level, low) -> IRQ 9 saa7130[0]: quirk: PCIPCI_NATOMA saa7130[0]: found at 0000:00:14.0, rev: 1, irq: 9, latency: 120, mmio: 0xf75ffc00 saa7130[0]: subsystem: 1131:0000, board: Sabrent SBT-TVFM (saa7130) [card=42,autodetected] saa7130[0]: board init: gpio is 38500 saa7130[0]: Huh, no eeprom present (err=-5)? tuner (ivtv): chip found at addr 0xc2 i2c-bus saa7130[0] tuner: type set to 17 (Philips NTSC_M (MK2)) by saa7130[0] tuner (ivtv): chip found at addr 0xc6 i2c-bus saa7130[0] tuner: type set to 17 (Philips NTSC_M (MK2)) by saa7130[0] saa7130[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2] saa7130[0]: registered device vbi0 saa7130[0]: registered device radio0 e100: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver, 3.4.8-k2-NAPI e100: Copyright(c) 1999-2005 Intel Corporation ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:03.0[A] -> Link [PIN4] -> GSI 15 (level, low) -> IRQ 15 e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0xeffff000, irq 15, MAC addr 00:06:29:73:15:D1 Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones NET: Registered protocol family 17 bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture bttv: Host bridge needs ETBF enabled. bt878: AUDIO driver version 0.0.0 loaded saa7146: register extension 'dvb'. saa7146: register extension 'budget dvb'. saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'. saa7146: register extension 'budget_av'.

 You've got an absolutely _archaic_ version there.
See this thread... http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13537 The current release is R5E50. The upgrade hints thread here http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13108 contains information which is useful even for fresh installs, as well as pointers to the installation instructions. |

:X I feel kind of like an idiot now. :P Those directory listings can be tricky sometimes right? As they say newer is always better. I'll get the newest version and report back to you. :) Thanks, Alex |

Its the same person as above. I installed the new version and it recognized my card- under probed info it lists the model of my card. I tried to change the input source of the card but its stuck on default. Shouldn't it be set on "Television" or some equivalent? When ever I "Watch TV" it turns black and its real buggy to get back to the main screen. I see no video and hear no audio. Almost there! Please help! Any suggestions? Thanks. |

For me, "watch tv" is buggy anyway, and I hardly ever use it. Record something instead, and watch it as it records. You can't fiddle with the backend setup while the backend is running. So before pressing Alt+S to get into backend setup, press Alt+2 to stop the backend. Wait a few seconds, THEN Alt+S for setup. If you get the warning that the backend is running, you did it wrong. Alt+3 to restart the backend when you're done with setup. |

Okay I tried to record a program. I let it go for a few minutes then I stopped it. When I try to play it back, the whole video is black. I think the turner is trying to record from something other than the TV input. Like I said above I can't change the video source from default.  It's like its locked in that selection.
Thanks again, Alex |

You're not being terribly clear. Are you talking about the one on the Capture Card definition page? Are you sure you've selected the right card type and device? |

Sorry I'll try to be as clear as I can. 
On the Setup page for the Capture Card I think I've got the right device defined. I'm using the default device for the V4L drivers. On that same page there's a field for video source. On the last old version I had I was able to set this to television. This never version won't let me. Instead it sits on 'default'. This could get the cause of my problem, it could not be. I just did another recording and the show showed up black on my recording. From past use of my card on windows there was always a selection for S Video, Composite, and Cable. I don't think MythTV is switching to the correct video source. Here's the output of mythbackend while attempting to record: Code: 2007-03-10 23:32:33.070 Using runtime prefix = /usr

You may need to wade through the TV settings stuff and set up capture profiles. Did you do a clean setup with the R5E50 installation? That really should have set up good profiles... |

Same guy. I finally registered my own account instead of using those crappy bugmenot accounts. I did do a fresh install that overwrote any previous settings I'd had. When I switched to the Mpeg4 software encoder I got no errors but the video was still black. I guess I can mess with more settings though and try different combinations. I'll reply if I have any luck. Thanks, Alex |
