Wow! That was quick. I think you may have just earned the "clue snatcher of the day" honors for the newbie who takes a proffered clue and runs with it.

| Post subject: | ivtv howto |
Hey guys - Is there a good relevant howto that isn't out of date for upgrading ivtv. I have a PVR-150 that I use the IR Blaster with, and I experience the lock ups issues. Apparently ivtv has released 0.4.2 which addresses these issues and some others: Quote: IVTV changes:
0.4.2 stable release - ticket #29: apply i2c patch to address PVR-150 IR chip issues. Also seems to fix i2c detection problems that occur in rare cases. This patch makes the ivtv i2c implementation work the same as the windows driver. - renamed v4l-cx2341x-init-mpeg.bin to v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg (the name was too long for the 2.4 kernel firmware load, the max name length in 2.4 is 20, for 2.6 it is 29). - fixed firmware load for amd64 systems with gcc-4.0. - fixed ticket #70: -window option was broken. - fixed ticket #71: bug in handling the hue control and in the brightness control (wrong value was returned). - backported 0.5 change: OVERFLOW warnings are now shown only once. - ticket #63: add support for Samsung TCPN 2121P30A tuner. - cx25840ctl uses the i2c bus to communicate with the cx25840. - fix ivtv build for 2.6.15 kernel. - ivtvctl --log-status now outputs the log directly (no need to look in the kernel log). So as you can see I would like to try this version out. Being a relative newb to debian type systems, can an apt-get upgrade do this for me, or do I need to comile from source? If so are there any knoppmyth specifics I need to be aware of so my upgrade goes smoothly without breaking anything else? Thanks in advance for your help! |

Nope, no deb available yet as far as I can tell. Search here or on the wiki for how to "compile ivtv" or "compiling ivtv" and you should find lots of info. Don't get hung up on the exact versions and you'll do fine. If it tells you to got to a directory and unpack file kernel-source-2.6.9-chw.tar.bz2 and you've got kernel-source-2.6.13.2-chw-3.tar.bz2 instead, that's just progress. Also don't be surprised if it's already been unpacked. Tab completion is your friend (type the first part of the name and hit the Tab key). |

The ivtv howto on the forum is still relevant. |

I updated the http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=CompileIvtv page to include all the latest fiddling around required to go from 0.4.0 to 0.4.2 and tested it on my own system. Let me know if I left anything out. |
