VDR+ Haupauge HVR 1300, couldn't emerge ivtv

[Black-Byte]

Hi,

it's a long way have allready go but at the moment im stuck. Hope someone could give me a hint.

I've tried to get an Hauppauge HVR 1300 fully working with VDR. For output i use an DXR3.

So here some modifikations i've done, using gentoo-kernel-2.6.23 r1, modified with this
howto http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Hauppauge_HVR_1300
and after some fights i got all emerged (vdr, remote, dvb-t etc..)
vdr is all working at the moment (only one thing left...)

Now i'll try to emerge ivtv but it broke with this message

i think its cause they look on the false path how i could correct this ?
I did not find anything with emerge to fix that.

... 1 Failure ivtv is a kernel modul (where i get the ivtv-tuner ?)
... 2 Failure my hdd had yesterday a headcrash so my installation is gone

Hello BB,

I had this big long reply all typed out and then I remembered there is an ebuild for the v4l-dvb hg tree. So what you need to do is go through 'make menuconfig' and select the correct options to correct these errors.

See http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto:Gentoo
for the proper settings. This will build a kernel with an ivtv driver build in. Not the one you want. So now you can do;

Code: Select all

~#  emerge -av ivtv

This will install the latest 'release' of the ivtv driver AND the various utilities you need to tune your card. Now that you have the utilities, you can install the bleeding edge drivers that will hopefully make your card work.

Code: Select all

~#  emerge -av v4l-dvb-hg

It's going to build and install 'all' the modules in the v4l-dvb tree but it doesn't seem to care about a lot of the kernel config settings. I have had just the Video for Linux selected as a module here and it works. However it doesn't build the utilities. That's the only reason you want to emerge ivtv. When you do emerge the v4l-dvb-hg, watch the messages at the end of the emerge for other applications that you might want to emerge.

So once you have a new hard drive in your machine and get Gentoo reinstalled, you have something else to play with.

HVR-1300 does not use the ivtv driver, it uses the cx88. From ivtv you only get the firmware driver for the Blackbird hw encoder, but initially I didn't even load it (for lack of knowledge) and DVB/analog TV viewing worked fine anyway.

I got it working using the 2.6.22 kernel with some patches for:
- tuner detection
- IR detection

From what I read in the v4l list the patches should be in the 2.6.23 tree, but I have not checked myself.

The HOWTO indicates which modules you need for the 1300. Don't use IVTV, there are reports on the v4l list that confirm it is not working for HVR-1300.

rafbzzzz is correct, you need the cx88 modules. You can also get the firmware needed for the blackbird encoder by emerging pvr-firmware.

With the HVR-1300 you may also find that once all the modules have loaded, you need to unload them and re-load again to get the card working. Otherwise all you see is something like an off-tuned picture. (This is for the analog part, I haven't been able to try DVB yet - no signal ).

This is apparently a known issue with this card, to which I haven't yet found a solution. - This is with both the in-kernel 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 drivers, and the mercurial tree (installed via emerge v4l-dvb-hg)

hmm have used the cx88_ivtv emulation from the linuxtv.org all was loaded and connected to each other
looks good i only could note tune. and vdr doesn't show the card.

with cat /dev/video1 > test.mpg i got the off-tuned noises

i had only the hope that with the ivtv i could tune.

hat the moment i must setup my system new, got a new hdd. i'll try with the v4l-dvb-hg.

(This is for the analog part, I haven't been able to try DVB yet - no signal ).

The patches I applied are for analog and IR only, DVB tuning should work with both vanilla 2.6.21 and 2.6.22. Make sure that you are not using the DEPRECATED "Video for Linux API 1", with that it did not work for me.
