| Post subject: | DVB-T (Avermedia 771) Install problem |
I'm probably just being a muppet here, but I can't figure this one out. My system: AMD XPm2500+ Abit NF7-S Avermedia 771 PVR 250 Here's where I've got to: 1. I've added dvb-bt8xx 2. mythtv-setup finds the card 3. I can scan for channels and have got it to find the BBC channels (I've not tried the other ones yet) What I can't do: 1. Get the listings for the channels it's found 2. Watch and of the dvb-t channels. With the help of a friend, I've done this: 1. Used dvbscan to create a channels.conf file 2. used tzap to tune to one of these channels. I was then instructed to use mplayer to read the dvb stream: mplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 This looks like it's playing, but doesn't output anything. So I got asked to do: cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 Which should aparently output a load of random characters, but on mine outputs nothing. That's as far as he could help me, does anyone else have any ideas? Mephi |

...I'm not the one who should give advice, but I've found easier to use Xine or, way better, Kaffeine-DVB from CVS (should be kaffeine 0.6 now I think). Please note that my experience with those two programs was made in FC3; knoppmyth 5A15.1 worked almost straight out of the box for me. Xine (in the graphical user interface) showed a DVB button and allowed me to select the channel (I think I had to copy channels.conf in the .xine directory or something like that). I suppose this is the easiest choice to troubleshoot the card in Knoppmyth. Kaffeine DVB is the best program I have seen for watching DVB in a desktop PC, light years ahead the Avermedia windows software that comes with the card. Disclaimer: I'm beginner so don't follow my suggestions... |

I've tried Xine as well, as I use that to play DVDs in myth. And xine gives me an error. (I can't tell you what that is at the moment, as I'm not near the box...) Mephi |
