 Posted: Mon May 12, 2003 7:48 pm Post subject: ATI TV Wonder VE and MythTV |
 |
|
I used the Ebuild for MythTV...
I am able to get MythTV configured except a few things...
I don't know where my ATI-tuner card is in /proc/pci or /dev
Also When I try to start MythTV I get this error:
| Quote: | connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543
Could not connect to backend server
|
Has anyone successfully installed the ATI- TV Wonder VE? |

| It has been a while since I messed with mythtv. But I believe this will occur if you haven't modified the configuration files and set all the backend server stuff. I compiled it myself and it was somewhere under usr/local. |

| No offense, but mythtv is one of those packages where you really have to rtfm. there is a setup program that needs to be run (/usr/share/mythtv/setup ?) , and then you need to have mythbackend started. |

The TV Wonder VE works fine with the bttv driver. You may need to force settings for it, ala:
modprobe bttv card=64 tuner=2
You can check to see if it's getting detected by running v4l-info.
You're probably getting the error about connecting to the backend because you haven't started the backend yet. |

| Try using the bttv driver that came with your kernel instead. |

But I will try loading Video ---> and V4L--->
just to see.....is this what you mean? |

This is what I get when I try to modprobe bttv....I'm trying to find a step by step HOW-TO but I can't find one.
Since the driver isn't in the kernel....I have to modprobe it....any help is needed... |

| you probably aren't using the right v4l drivers for the TV tuner.. I think Gatos.org might help steer you in the right direction... |

I am using a TV Wonder (non-VE) and to get bttv listed in the kernel (gentoo-sources-2.4.20) I had to compile one of the i2c options for it to appear. When I get home from work (in about an hour) I'll get back to you with what setting it was that had to be compiled in.
Once that was working in xawtv, getting it to work with MythTV was a breeze (following the instructions at mythtv.org). |

| You also have to enable the i2c stuff in your kernel. Have you done that? I can't remember where it is right now, and I'm away from my linux box, I'll check later. |

That is all I have...I am running the Gentoo-2.4.20-r5 kernel. I tried the Vanilla sources as well...And I still don't get a BTTV option in the multimedia...where other people told me it would be....
Am I supposed to include:

In the kernel? I2O is close to I2c....but I would assume it has nothing to do with it.... |

Sorry, problem at work resulted in my getting home late.
Character Devices -> I2C Support: I2C bit-banging interfaces
Unselecting it in menuconfig results in no bt848 under Video for Linux.
If that doesn't do it then feel free to post and I can email/post my whole .config for you. |

Try ln -sf (or just -s) to make a soft link. Does that work? |

My /dev/video0 is a symlink to /dev/v4l/video0
Unfortunately I'm a relative newbie to devices in linux (its just works  ) so I can't help much.
I did get the following off a post on the mythtv mailing list:
Contents of /etc/modules.d/bttv
| Code: |
# TV Cards
# This is the standard alias line for bttv not sure meaning
alias char-major-81 bttv
# Pass option to bttv module to enable debug logging
options bttv debug=2
options bttv card=64 radio=0 tuner=2
options tuner type=2 debug=1
options btaudio debug=2 digital=1 analog=0 rate=32000
options btaudio dsp1=1 dsp2=2 mixer=1
pre-install btaudio modprobe emu10k1
post-install btaudio modprobe bttv
|
You can ignore the btaudio stuff since the VE card doesn't support btaudio. |

I added those lines into the bttv file...
Still no luck...
but....I did notice that I don't have a /dev/v4l folder at all...
Therefore I don't have the /dev/v4l/video0....
So When it says in the /proc....is that the actual device and then I need a symlink to /dev/v4l/video0 and /dev/video0? |

What does everyone think....Why does gentoo list this tuner as 19?
| Quote: | bttv0: using tuner=19

Could this be the why gentoo isn't posting the device under /dev/v4l/video0 or /dev/video0?
It is supposed to be tuner=2 I believe |
