| Post subject: | Help getting capture card installed |
I have a cheap KWorld VStream video capture card I wanted to try out in my mythtv backend box. I already have a PVR-150 working and wanted to see about getting the KWorld and the PVR-150 working at the same time. The problem I am facing right now is that it is being detected as UNKNOWN/GENERIC cx8800. I was wondering how to go about forcing it to be one of the KWorld types that I see in the dmesg output. What file do I edit? I read some posts about editting the /etc/modprobe.conf file, but I do not have this file. Thanks any help. Edit: oh yeah, I am running R5E50. Another Edit: This card does not have a tuner. I am trying to use it for S-Video capture, if this info helps any. |

Well, after a whole bunch of searching, I finally found a solution. I edited /etc/modprobe.d/cx88xx and added the line options cx88xx card=33 Then I did this: -modprobe -r cx8800 -modprobe cx8800 and it came up working. Card 33 closely resembles my card on the manufacturers website, so that is the first one I tried and it worked. |
