 |
|
I have a Hauppage PVR 500 MCE running mythtv, and I'm getting black and white video on one tuner (full color on the other), and no audio at all. I'm using the following versions of things:
media-tv/ivtv-0.7.1
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r8
media-tv/mythtv-0.20_p11444 (with ivtv USE flag enabled)
Otherwise, it appears to work (I only have one channel to look at on this satellite receiver until I get my IR transceiver working).
I had a test setup working a few weeks ago complete with full color on both inputs and audio, but that was with an earlier version of mythtv and ivtv (0.19 and 0.7.0, respectively)... but I had to send that card back as defective (found a capacitor floating around the anti-static bag) and have since upgraded. Has anyone had any success with 0.7.1 + 0.20?
EDIT:
I have also tried the following with no success: | Code: | rich@basilisk ~ $ v4lctl -c /dev/video0 volume mute off
rich@basilisk ~ $ v4lctl -c /dev/video1 volume mute off
|
EDIT2:
I have downgraded to ivtv-0.7.0, but it's still no good. I'm not sure I want to deal with the mess of downgrading mythtv to 0.19 unless someone can confirm 0.20 doesn't work
EDIT3:
Checking my dmesg, it appears I'm not loading my firmware: | Code: | ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================

Looking at this site, I found this firmware and put it where the instructions said to put it (and also made a sim-link to the firmware from /lib/firmware for good measure). This did not fix the problem, however - it's asking for firmware I don't seem to have
EDIT4:
Ok, I manually grabbed the firmware and placed it in /lib/firmware, and dmesg is no longer complaining: | Code: | ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================

It looks like the ebuild no longer supports installing the firmware. I'm about to check to see if this fixed any other problems...
EDIT5:
No dice. Not sure what was going on earlier, but I doubt myth would have started again (somewhere in my poking around the firmware must have been wiped out). Anyways, with the firmware back in place, I'm still having the same problems. I note, however, that when I play back a recording, it's in full color and has audio. What gives?
EDIT6:
I take that back, some recordings are in black and white with no audio, some are in full color with audio. It's consistently with color and audio, or without color and without audio.

First of all try ivtvtune to record a channel.
Because sometimes ivtv works great and mythtv is failing.
I am using the same setup and both audio and video are great. |

| Also, searching around on the myth-users list a bit, I saw a report that someone was seeing black and white and no audio when they had composite and s-video inputs swapped. There's a number of other black & white video posts to wade through there if you get stuck... |

That's odd... I left it on overnight, and now both tuners have full color and audio. Not sure what that's about.

It is mentioned in the pvr500 guide on wiki.
This makes the firmware to work a cold boot.
Sometimes you even have to open your case and get your tv card out. |
