Hi

I've got myth running with one Bt878 card just fine - now I want to add a second one. Upon bootup, I get this error:

The second card is a PixelView PlayTV card (card = 23 type=5)

I have tried adding this to /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv1 - but with no success.

How do I get the second card to work?

Thanks

did you run update-modules after you added the options to the bttv1 file?

Yes - and I just did it again to be sure. The card worked ok in another FC2 box....

I'm stumped.

This is what I have set:

Code:
root@mythtv:/etc/mythtv/modules # cat bttv0
alias char-major-81-0   bttv
options bttv            card=23
post-install bttv insmod tuner type=5
root@mythtv:/etc/mythtv/modules # cat bttv1
alias char-major-81-1   bttv
options bttv            card=34
post-install bttv insmod tuner type=5
root@mythtv:/etc/mythtv/modules #


Will this work ?

It works now - both cards are recognised, and I can do Picture-in-picture (Mythbackend keeps crashing when I do, but thats a different issue)

I changed the modules as below by adding the options line:

34 - is the Winfast card
72 - is the PixelView card.


Code:
root@mythtv:/etc/mythtv/modules # cat bttv0
alias char-major-81-0   bttv
options bttv card=34,72 radio=1,1 tuner=5,5 # pll=1
root@mythtv:/etc/mythtv/modules # cat bttv1
alias char-major-81-1   bttv
options bttv card=34,72 radio=1,1 tuner=5,5 # pll=1

bttv: driver version 0.9.15 loaded

What sort of PIP backend crash are you experiencing. Is it similiar to the behavior seen in this post, http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... highlight=

I have been trying to get PIP working for about a week with no success.

Please post configuration information, knoppmyth veersion, ivtv version, vl4 or vl42 and bttv version.

Thanks,

Mike G.
