IVTV 0.7.0 and 2.6.17 issues

Message

PyroBoy101 · Post by **PyroBoy101** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 12:17 am

OK, I have a PVR-150 MCE that I installed in my system. The ebuild went fine after I selected all the appropriate kernel modules. I installed the new kernel, and rebooted.

Now the fun part comes when I go to load the module. I modprobe it and get this in dmesg:

The modules that it complains about are infact there and load quietly when I do it myself.

I've been beating myself over the head with this all evening. Any help would be GREAT!

Thanks!

I have this same problem...except I just tried it and it worked...

*scratches head*

I have no idea what I just did, I tried reinstalling the kernel modules (cd /usr/src/linux; make modules modules_install), and when I tried to bring up /dev/video0 in mplayer, I got an image.

I'm quite confused because I tried it a minute before that and I just got static.

Err, well, it's working now, even with MythTV. I still have some errors in my dmesg, complaining about modules that won't load, but it seems to be working. I'll try rebooting in a bit, as soon as I finish compiling some stuff, and I'll see if it works after a reboot.

Funny... I just tried it again and now its working but with the same errors...

Ian · Post by **Ian** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 1:42 am

Ok, so I rebooted, and it works! But I can't change channels, even with ivtv-tune.

Dmesg is still complaining about the modules not loading. I have another computer with a PVR-250 which was working fine with ivtv-0.7.0 and kernel 2.6.17, I'm not sure about the dmesg errors though. That computer is currently waiting for a new video card though, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it back up and running tonight.

So now I'm stuck watching "America's Got Talent"

I had IvTV 0.4.x running on this computer with 2.6.15 before, I've noticed a lot of things changed, like not having to define tuner type, I wonder if I missed a file somewhere?

Does anyone know which files would have to be modified after such an upgrade?

Ian · Post by **Ian** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 3:55 am

Huzzah!

As soon as I posted that I found /etc/modules.d/ivtv, so I tried moving it, and reloading the driver, now I can change channels again!

Now if I could just get YUV video and PCM audio to play remotely in sync...

Ian · Post by **Ian** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 10:33 pm

Well this is sure turing into a pain quickly.

I rebooted my computer, reloaded all of them modules, and I cannot change channels again. At least it's stuck on SciFi now, which sure beats Fox or whatever I was stuck on before.

I was having trouble setting CONFIG_VIDEO_TVEEPROM for a while, but then I figured out I needed to set my config options thusly (in make menuconfig):

<*> Video For Linux
│ │[*] Enable Video For Linux API 1 (DEPRECATED)
│ │--- Enable Video For Linux API 1 compatible Layer

If it wasn't on the (DEPRECATED) option, there would be no TVEEPROM in my .config at all!

I am having the same problem except my computer reports

ivtv0: Failed to load module tuner
ivtv0: Failed to load module tda9887
ivtv0: Failed to load module cx25840
ivtv0: Failed to load module wm8775

I am not sure where the first two modules are located, and I have never once been able to get live tv working

haha - I JUST got this card in the mail, today, and plan on attempting to get it working, tonight.

Wish me luck... I'll let you know how it goes.

I have not been able to get the PVR-150 running on a kernel-2.6.17 and ivtv-0.7 on an AMD64 machine
I've found several threads on the issue but none actually resolved...

I found that trying to modprobe things in the v4l modules directory in /lib/modules would load certain modules, which after unloading and loading the ivtv module, would resolve those i2c hardware messages. I can check when I get home which helped on my PVR-250.

I am not sure where the first two modules are located, and I have never once been able to get live tv working

Make sure those are set as <M> in your kernel config. Just open your .config file (/usr/src/linux/.config) and search for those modules.

Ian:

I'm having the same issue as you, get a picture but can't change channels. Any update on your situation?

Good Morning guys.

Has anyone gotten this problem resolved? I started a thread here :
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-499629.html

It looks like PyroBoy is having the same issue as I, and is also using gcc 4.1. I have had a few replies to my thread of people that have ivtv working with the 2.6.17 kernel, but they are also using the gcc 3.4.x.[/glep]

IVTV 0.7.0 and 2.6.17 issues

IVTV 0.7.0 and 2.6.17 issues

Any luck so far?
