This is a mini-howto.
I read through about three different guides in an attempt to get KnoppMyth set up with my setup. All of them were different, and none of them worked. So I wanted to share what I did to get it working:
First of all, I did an auto upgrade from R4V5. I followed the on-screen instructions then I edited two files (bold). Finally, I installed the ivtv driver and remote. After that, the setup works and is ready to be configured.
/etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv needs to look like this:
Code:
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3400; /sbin/modprobe saa7115; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb
remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ivtv && /sbin/modprobe -r saa7115 && /sbin/modprobe -r msp3400 && /sbin/modprobe -r tuner && /sbin/modprobe -r ivtv-fb
(the install... and remove... lines are each one line)
You will also need to configure
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 for the PVR-350's TV out. (I won't explain this here but there is a guide, as well as another PVR-350 tv-out howto here:
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3827)
You need to get the ivtv driver from the internet, then install it. There were two different links I found for the driver. For some reason, only the older driver seemed to work. You can get it here:
http://membres.lycos.fr/badzzzz/ivtvdev_drv.o.gz . To install it:
Code:
gunzip ivtvdev_drv.o.gz; install -m 0444 ivtvdev_drv.o /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/
To make the remote work:
Code:
echo /usr/bin/lircd >> /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
Reboot and the TV display should work.
To configure MythTV, exit the front end, right-click the desktop, open a shell and type "mythtv-setup" followed by an enter. Set up your video sources, channels and inputs. If you are upgrading from R4, make sure that your recordings directory is /myth/tv and your live TV directory is /cache. Back in the frontend ("mythfrontend" in the shell): Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> TV Settings -> Playback, use PVR-350 as your output.
I know it seems condensed, but I only intended it as a usable outline of what I did. All of this comes from about 8 hours of trial and error. If this helps one person, it will have been worth it. Meanwhile, I will be enjoying my updated KnoppMyth box. Thanks everyone for making it possible!
