 |
|
Hi folks,
I am currentrly trying to get my old TV Card to run with xawtv and after some hours of working it seems I got stuck.
| Code: | $ scantv -C /dev/vbi0
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
no grabber device available
|
/dev/vbi0 does not exists, though it did that 1-2 hours ago. Since I don't own a webcam, /dev/video0 will never be needed/exists.
This is my setup:
TV Card: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV Series
My Kernel config: http://paste.frubar.net/14812
lsmod: http://paste.frubar.net/14813
best regards |

dmesg:
01:07.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11)
01:07.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)
It is a quiet old card.
Unfortunately I dont know what I did that /dev/vbi0 disappeared. |

Okay, I built in the PCI-Drivers:
| Code: | # grep V4L_PCI_DRIVERS .config
CONFIG_V4L_PCI_DRIVERS=y
|
But I am still missing /dev/vbi0 and xawtv tries to open /dev/video0. |

This is strange, I can't find it. Though its in the search results.

Dependencies should be okay too.
Also I can't find it in the config:
| Code: |
# grep 848 .config
#

So I finally found time to clean up my kernel (and include the bt848-driver) und actually got scandir working.
Unfortunately I am not able to watch any channel (though I can choose between some in xawtv).
This is the Output:
