OK.... Thanks Charles for your reply... but... SOMETHING is wrong with YaST!
I guest someone messed up and forgot that it is part of the kernel package now.
Anywise, I go through the process of configuring the PVR-350, and when done YaST "seems" to be happy but next time I open YaST and look at the TV cards, it is no longer configured...
There is really nothing to configure (it auto-configures itself these days). As long as you have the modules and the firmware install, udev will take care of the rest.
Also don't relay on YaST. My card doesn't show up there either.
Nor does MythTV find anything at /dev/video0 (or any where else when it does a probe...) In previous SuSE 10.x releases I simply had to configure the card with YaST and then MythTV would find it OK.. No longer happening!
1. What is the output of

2. If you don't see any ivtv mouldes, what happens if you run
| modprobe ivtv
I didn't do this since it appears I do have the ivtv modules...
3. Did you run mythtv-setup?
Yes and that is when I noticed I am having troubles... In the Capture Card Setup section, I am selecting for Card type: MPEG-2 encoder card (PVR-x50, PVR-500) This fails to fill in anything in the field for Video device: So I guessed and tried to fill it in with /dev/video (also tried /dev/video0, /dev/video16, /dev/video24, /dev/video32, and /dev/video48 just for the heck of it... though I have no idea what these other video devices represent, I do not have a webcam or any other video sources on this particular system) All resulted the the Probed info" field saying "Failed to open" and with the Default input: field saying "Could not open '/dev/video_' to probe its inputs. So my guess/understanding of this is that mythtv-setup is failing to find the video device for the Hauppauge card... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
