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
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

My ivtv-modules file:

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]
