Hi all, Is anyone using a hauppauge 150 card on the list, and able to get it working on 10.1? I have been trying unsuccessfully in the ivtv mail list, no one is familiar with suse, and the ivtv site gives very basic instructions. Just taking a chance by asking here, I seem to be missing tveeprom module is what they are telling me, but I cant figure out why because they say it is part of the ivtv module. when i give the command mplayer /dev/video0 all i get is static, even when changing channels with command ivtv-tune -c. here is my init for ivtv. thank you. linux-steve:/home/steve # modprobe ivtv linux-steve:/home/steve # dmesg | grep ivtv ivtv: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag. ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 0.6.4 (tagged release) loading ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.16.21-0.25-smp SMP 586 REGPARM gcc-4.1 ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info between ivtv: the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist. ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 card (cx23416 based) ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) tuner 1-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #0) cx25840 1-0044: cx25843-23 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #0) wm8775 1-001b: chip found @ 0x36 (ivtv i2c driver #0) ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (262144 bytes) ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02050032 ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder MPEG stream: 128 x 32768 buffers (4096KB total) ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder YUV stream: 194 x 10800 buffers (2048KB total) ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder VBI stream: 120 x 17472 buffers (2048KB total) ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder PCM audio stream: 455 x 4608 buffers (2048KB total) ivtv0: Initialized Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150, card #0 ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ==================== -- SuSE Linux 10.1 ~ Kernel 2.6.16.21-0.25-smp #1 ~ Kmail 1.9 ~ Registered Linux user: 412217 http://reillyblog.com 7:25pm up 1:37, 2 users, load average: 1.06, 1.18, 0.71

Well I use it, but not on 10.1. I use it on 9.3 and have had to compile the drivers from source. The later SUSE distros come with it preinstalled but its never current as it is under active development. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
Check your chipset if it is VIA KM400 you are pretty much screwed. The only help I found when I encountered the problem after hours of trying to get it to work for me was a note on the ivtv website to buy a better motherboard. Cheers rylan On Wed, 2006-11-01 at 21:38 -0800, John Andersen wrote:

I'll second that. My current business is sales and installation of video surveillance equipment which includes building pc-based DVRs. The easiest way to make everything work correctly is to use a mobo with an Intel cpu and an Intel chipset. Seems to be the case for every DVR hardware/software combo I have used. I have carried this through to my office and personal pc's and have always had good results. YMMV Fred

Yes, but we have gone far afield here, as neither the OP or myself has Via. Note I have two different versions of ivtv working just fine on two different machines with SuSE 9.3. The problem is seldom the chipset of the mobo and far more likely to be a quirk of the proper version of ivtv than anything else. The first and best recommendation is to ruthlessly root out any SuSE modules for ivtv and build ivtv from source. Then get the binary firmware blobs from the ivtv site and put them in the proper places (and the definition of "proper place" has danced around quite a bit over the releases). The OPs problems would be better addressed to the MythTV list or the ivtv list. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
