In the hope this will prove useful to anyone trying to get EPIA MII and PVR-350 going, here is what I did... - there are two copies of tveeprom.ko and tuner.ko - one in v4l and one in ivtv. To find them do Code: find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name tuner.ko -print (ditto for tveeprom). We should only be using the ivtv versions, so rename the v4l ones to something like 'tuner.ko.old'. Then do a Code: depmod -a - changed settings in /etc/sysconfig/ivtv/cfg-0 Code: IVTV_TUNER='4' #this is PVR-350 specific IVTV_TYPE='PAL' - settings in /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv Code: options ivtv tda9887=0 tuner=38 ivtv_std=2 cardtype=2
tuner type - get it from /var/log/messages, grep for tveeprom do a modinfo ivtv to see what ivtv_std and cardtype you should use - added scripts to retrieve tv data from multiple sources (NZ only – sources are unreliable and incomplete). - path needed to be create: MTD points to /var/lib/mythdvd/temp for temporary files, which does not exist. To fix, just mkdir. - Use “xterm -e xine -pfhq -V xxmc %” for playback. --- need xterm due to bug in xine losing focus on quit. --- need -V xxmc to enable xvmc support in xine --- want xine because I want DVD menus - install-i586-lx points to debs that are not there. In fact, the xvmc stuff is active (grep -i xvmc /var/log/XFree86.0.log). You just need to tell xine (-V xxmv) and mythtv (option in tv playback) to use xvmc. Note: use VLD extensions. What I have yet to do, and what doesn't work: - add detection of power button to shutdown. Out of the box, there is no way to shut the machine down cleanly except via keyboard or SSH. - add irexw for restart front end using the power button of the remote. This is the wife friendly button. - font sizes are very small by default. - Burning dvds fail – could it be -/+ conflict? I have a +/- drive and I put in a + media. The ISO is created, and I copied it to a windoze machine to burn to DVD. Worked just fine. - Burn mpeg4 does nothing [/list] |

Are you using Knoppmyth? go to the knoppmyth menu option (its next to Utilities/Setup on my box) and you will see two sub menus - halt and reboot... |

Does your PC actually power off when you do this? Mine used to when I ran windows but the linux shutdown doesnt seem to cut the power? Do I need to enable something so that it does? |

What I meant was that the power button (which worked when I used Fedora) is ignored. I haven't figured out how to capture that with APM/ACPI and initiate a clean shutdown. You are right though - just using the menu is a reasonable alternative. Cheers. |

Tuatara, I have the same hardware combination as you, EPIA MII 12000, PVR350 and I have tried everything to get R5A26 to run with the TV out on the PVR350. Nothing has worked, i get IVTVDEV_TST(0) errors in the XF86log. Have you managed to get any TV out working or do you view using a monitor? After spending 5 weeks on this, I am about to give up! Regards, Algenon. |
