I have tried to configure this as best as I can, read numerous HOWTOs (many of them inconsistent with each other

) and fiddeled for hours with the system.

What I get is:
* When X11 goes to the VGA connected montitor I can also play video to the montior.
* When X11 goes to TV-out on the PVR350 I get MythTV frontend on the TV, but no output from playing video.

I have not tried setting up channels and watching TV yet. However, I am able to tune to a channel and record stuff using:

Code:

./ptune.pl -f pal-europe -c E5
dd if=/dev/video0 of=test.mpg bs=64k

If I from a "clean" system (meaning no ivtv/media modules loded) do:

Code:

modprobe ivtv

I can watch what I have recorded on the TV-out. However, in order to run X11 I have to run ivtv-fb:

Code:

modprobe ivtv-fb

The MythTV fronten starts and everything works nicely (except lirc, which works when using a monitor?) The dd trick above does not work. However, running mplayer:

Code:

mplayer test.mpg

gives a full screen on the monitor, but sloowwllyy/jerky.

Code:

mplayer -vo fbdev test.mpg

gives a smaller picture, but much smother. Encouraged, I try:

Code:

mplayer -vo fbdev -fb /dev/fb1 test.mpg

But mplayer only gives:

Code:

MPlayer 0.92-3.3.2  (C) 2000-2003 MPlayer Team
:
VDec: vo config request - 720 x 576 (preferred csp: Planar YV12)
VDec: using Planar YV12 as output csp (no 0)
Movie-Aspect is 1.33:1 - prescaling to correct movie aspect.
VO: [fbdev] 720x576 => 768x576 Planar YV12
fbdev: Can't mmap /dev/fb1: Invalid argument
FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver.
init_vo failed

FATAL: Could not initialize video filters (-vop) or video output (-vo).


Exiting... (End of file)

My ivtv-modules file:

Code:

alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias /dev/v4l ivtv
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 saa7127 tuner
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c

I use ivtv 0.3.1x. MythTV R4V4. Not sure where to look further. Any help appreciated.[/code]
