| Post subject: | Solved: Problems defining correct tuner option |
Good day, I have been trying for a few days to get a Knoppmyth box up ad running. MY hardware is as follows: Athlon 2400 512MB Ram 160 Gig HDD LifeView FlyVIDEO2000 (as reported by dmesg) Saa7130 based TV/FM tuner card w/remote ATI Radeon 9200SE Now, first of all, I realize that I am likely going to encounter problems with the ATI card. If this is the case, I will go out and purchase a card that will be easy to setup with TV out. Now, the problem that I am encountering is with the Tuner card itself. lspci reports the following: Code: 0000:00:11.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01) Subsystem: Animation Technologies Inc. LiveView FlyVideo 2000 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 Memory at cfffcc00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 1 .... and here are the relevant sections of dmesg: Code: saa7130[0]: found at 0000:00:11.0, rev: 1, irq: 11, latency: 64, mmio: 0xcfffcc00 saa7130[0]: subsystem: 5168:0138, board: LifeView FlyVIDEO2000 [card=3,autodetected] saa7130[0]: board init: gpio is 1f900 saa7130[0]: there are different flyvideo cards with different tuners saa7130[0]: out there, you might have to use the tuner=<nr> insmod saa7130[0]: option to override the default value. saa7130[0]: registered input device for IR saa7130[0]: i2c eeprom 00: 68 51 38 01 10 28 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7130[0]: i2c eeprom 10: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7130[0]: i2c eeprom 20: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7130[0]: i2c eeprom 30: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff tuner (ivtv): chip found at addr 0xc2 i2c-bus saa7130[0] tuner: type set to 37 (LG PAL (newer TAPC series)) by saa7130[0] tuner (ivtv): chip found at addr 0xc6 i2c-bus saa7130[0] tuner: type set to 37 (LG PAL (newer TAPC series)) by saa7130[0] saa7130[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2] saa7130[0]: registered device vbi0 saa7130[0]: registered device radio0 Code: bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture bt878: AUDIO driver version 0.0.0 loaded saa7146: register extension 'dvb'. saa7146: register extension 'budget dvb'. saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'. saa7146: register extension 'budget_av'.

I have tried passing options to the bttv or ivtv modules in the bttv and ivtv files in /etc/myth/modules, but it does not seem like they are having any effect. my research seems to indicate that I should be using card=54 and tuner=39. As the dmesg points out, the card is being setup with tuner type 37. Could someone point me in the right direction here, I am obviously missing the boat, despite reading through post discussing similar problems. Thanks in advance for you assistance! |

I'm in a simular situation but hopefully the fix I've found may be of some use to you(since it's not solving my troubles). WARNING: I read about this on another forum if it crashes your machine it's not my fault. If it's not the *right* way it's also not my fault:) Goto /etc edit modules goto the line that says bttv after it add "card=* tuner=*" without the quotes and save it then it should work. Luke EDIT: In a thread I just started above I think a few things are discussed that would help. "setting it in /etc/modules should have worked, however the correct place to set it would be in /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv? to find out what the ? should be look in /etc/modprobe.d/KnoppMyth to see what file is included." the thread is located @ http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8158 Good luck |

Well, after much hair pulling, I have solved this problem. Listing the modules options in the /etc/mythtv/moudels/bttv file had no effect. To solve the problem I needed to create the following file: Code: /etc/modprobe.d with theese contents: Code: options saa7134 card=74 tuner=39 oss=1
The tuner card is now working properly, along with my ATI 9200SE TV Out. The audio is another problem, for another thread

I also had a problem with the changes in bttv making any changes though did you run "update-modules"? That will recreate the /etc/modules.conf file with your changes. No less this didn't work for me though upon reinstalling it is working like it's supposed to now. Neither here nor there glad to hear it's working. Luke |

I did indeed. For me, any changes I had to specify directly witht he saa7134 module. |
