| Post subject: | Looking for stable IVTV drivers (encoder, not a decoder) |
Ok here it goes.... Been following MYTV for awile, trolling the mailing list and the boards here... From what I was reading pvr-250 & pvr-350 recording stable, pvr-350 output not so hot... So when the Tivo died, I built a system with a Pundit & pvr-250. I went ahead and put together a second system with old parts (pIII 733) and a 350, with the plan if I have too much trouble with the output, I'll switch out to a Nvida video card. the outcome... 350's output has been ROCK solid, Live TV, recording, xvid, avi, DVD playback, DVD ISOs (Yes, Mythvideo will play an ISO), you name it. A complete shock to me after all the trolling... but I having big issues of keeping the encoders up. Quote: Sep 5 10:54:43 mythtv01 kernel: saa7115[0] set audio: 0x02

Code -16 its happening daily, on both systems. I'm guessing CK's driver is the way to go, but not sure whats a good stable version. *Edit* I know I'm missing what modules to load, will check it & post when I get home from work. |

there isnt a stable release yet.. its Not officialy stable, and there isnt a version people agree is stable that i have seen. everyone uses a totaly different version.. my recomendation is jump in with a newer one and see how it goes. i would imagine that the 250 side of ivtv would be pretty stable by now. here is the links to kennedy's cvs. http://67.18.1.101/~ckennedy/ivtv/ |

If you managed to get smooth divx/xvid playback on a 733 you definitely need to post a howto somewhere, because from everything I've read even a 3.6 EE won't give you smooth playback with the pvr350 tvout. |

I'm certain folks would appreciate a more detailed howto...

I already owe Cesman a case of beer...I may as well get one for you too. If you could post what you did to get flawless PVR350 playback it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm certain folks would appreciate a more detailed howto...On that post above was a link to: http://membres.lycos.fr/badzzzz/ Site is now gone The site contained IVTV driver to compile, & ivtvdev X driver (binary), directions on compiling the ivtv and configure X with the ivtvdev driver. So I'm going with memory here... 1. disable kernel FB. edit /etc/lilo.conf and change vga=XXX to vga=normal run lilo & reboot. 2. download ivtvdev_drv.o from *need a place to host file* and copy to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ 3. run lspci, locate the bus info for the 350.

Greetings from the great white north. I've followed all the instruction in this thread and I get the green tv screen at the module load but it turn into a black tv screen after a few seconds with a blinking cursor. I can ssh into it and I see that everything appears to be working fine. Has anyone encountered this before ? |

Has anyone encountered this before ? ah, yes, Ive seen this on one of my friend's system. the kernel is still trying to use the 350 as its fb. a few things to check... 1. make sure you set vga=normal in /etc/lilo.conf AND execute lilo 2. slide the card to a different slot 3. add append="video=vc:0-0" to your lilo.conf (don't forget to run lilo) Quote: # Boot up Linux by default.
# default=Linux image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.25-chw append="video=vc:0-0" label=Linux initrd=/boot/initrd.gz read-only # restricted # alias=1 Hope this helps |
