[17:34] <Zigi> Hi all, trying to install my DVBSKy S952 Tuner in Mythtbuntu. Im not sure wich type to choose, neither am i sure if the card is even recognised. Any suggestions how to install the device / see installed devices in xfce?
[17:41] <superm1> Zigi: if it's a usb tuner you can check under lsusb to see if it recognized on the USB bus
[17:41] <superm1> you can check dmesg for messages about it if a driver automatically loaded too
[17:42] <Zigi> its a pci device
[17:42] <superm1> and use lspci to see if it was recognized on the PCI bus then
[17:42] <Zigi> lspci should work right ?
[17:42] <Zigi> :)
[17:42] <Zigi> but im not familiar with the prints.
[17:42] <Zigi> pretty confusing
[17:43] <superm1> well dvb devices are in a class of either usually they'll just work or you have to go load the newer DVB stack from linuxtv.org
[17:43] <superm1> so you can look in /dev for dvb device nodes too
[17:44] <Zigi> ive got one called conexangt systems [...] pci video audio decoder (rev 02)
[17:44] <Zigi> seems like its that one.
[17:45] <superm1> so that means it's at least recognized on the PCI bus and the ID is in the PCI database on the system
[17:45] <superm1> you can check lsmod for modules that might have been loaded for it automatically
[17:46] <Zigi> what am i looking for ?
[17:46] <Zigi> used by 2 ?
[17:47] <Zigi> sry im a rookie :(
[17:48] <superm1> well have you just tried using the deviec?
[17:48] <Zigi> im not sure how.
[17:48] <Zigi> i added a dvb device in mythbackend
[17:48] <superm1> ok so it did see a device node there then?
[17:48] <superm1> and it recognized the name while in mythtv-setup
[17:49] <Zigi> no, thats why i was wondering
[17:50] <Zigi> i wasnt able to choose any matching name
[18:08] <superm1> well if you couldn't match any devices there, then look in /dev/ for stuff with dvb in the name
[18:09] <superm1> if there is nothing there, then you'll probably want to google your device and see if you can find out what driver it's supposed to be using
[18:10] <superm1> a quick look at http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVBSKY_S952 mentions some firmware that you might need to be installing
[18:10] <Zinn> [linuxtv.org] DVBSKY S952 - LinuxTVWiki
[18:10] <superm1> it might be included in the linux-firmware-nonfree package or the linux-firmware package if you don't have either of those installed
[18:10] <superm1> if it's not in either of them, you might have to obtain that to make your device work
[18:13] <Zigi> ok thx for those hints.
[18:13] <Zigi> ill try to get it to work
[18:14] <Zigi> i found a firmware on the homepage.
