Hi - I don't understand why this is now happening, but in SuSE11.1 YaST no longer seems able to configure the Hauppauge 350 PVR TV card! This is such a standard card, been around for a long time and has worked fine in previous 10.x releases... The only thing that YaST is reporting a failure on is that it wants to install a package called ivtv-kmp-default. I do not find this package on the CD nor in the online repositories. So what gives? Do someone break the support for this card and if so why? How do I get it to work? Should I go find it on a previous CD of off the internet and install it separately? If I do, will it be supported or am I on my own? Marc... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There is no such package. ivtv is in the kernel package now. It is also part of the pristine kernel- it got accepted into v4l. My PVR-150 just worked out of the box. Charles -- "...[Linux's] capacity to talk via any medium except smoke signals." (By Dr. Greg Wettstein, Roger Maris Cancer Center)

Mine might have, but then I tried to configure it with YaST, obviously there is a bug in YaST's TV-Card module. Did you get Myth-TV to work or any of the TV Viewing apps? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I tried it too- it doesn't mess things up. The ivtv modules auto-detects everything these days. As long as you have the modules and firmware installed, udev will take care of the rest. 1. What is the output of ,---- | lsmod | grep ivtv `---- ? You should see something like this: ,----[ Output of lsmod | grep ivtv ] | ivtv 133140 0 | cx2341x 11264 1 ivtv | v4l2_common 10808 5 wm8775,cx25840,tuner,ivtv,cx2341x | tveeprom 11404 1 ivtv | compat_ioctl32 1268 2 ivtv,uvcvideo | videodev 31660 3 tuner,ivtv,uvcvideo | i2c_algo_bit 5680 2 ivtv,intelfb | i2c_core 30340 10 tuner_simple,wm8775,cx25840,tuner,ivtv,v4l2_common,tveeprom,i2c_i801,intelfb,i2c_algo_bit `---- 2. If you don't see any ivtv modules loaded, what happens when you do a ,---- | modprobe ivtv `---- ? 3. Did you run mythtv-setup?

...

Did you get Myth-TV to work or any of the TV Viewing apps?

Yes, I have a svn version (r19567) of MythTV running 24/7. Charles -- "I once witnessed a long-winded, month-long flamewar over the use of mice vs. trackballs...It was very silly." (By Matt Welsh)

I've never had any luck, but that will have to wait until the tv-card issue is settled. I get errors about missing /dev/dvb on some apps for TV viewing. Mike@P-733-Lin:~> ls /dev/dvb* ls: cannot access /dev/dvb*: No such file or directory I assume that this is related to trying to get the card setup properly. Though in /dev for video i do get this: Mike@P-733-Lin:/dev> ls vid* video video0 video1 video24 video32 Either video0 or video1 is the webcam and the other the PVR, with video24 and video32 being the PVR.

Wrong devices to use if you have a Hauppauge PVR card.

The device to access it should be either be video0 or video1 (one of them is you webcam- most likely it is video1 if you use a usb webcam). By any chance you forgot to put yourself in the video group?

That's an error from trying to invoke ME Tv.

Bingo that got me cable channel4 with sound

That's the usb Web-Cam. Now all I have to do is get myth-tv running. Do you have a simple step by step that I can follow?
