stevie_manwondering if anyone remembers how to setup the PVR-150 card? I still have a few analog channels I'd like to get15:43
tgm4883stevie_man, it was pretty easy, set it up as an mpeg encoder card16:10
stevie_mantgm4883: lspic -n sees the card but mythtv-setup does not16:11
tgm4883odd16:12
tgm4883I haven't used mine in years so IDK16:13
tgm4883does it have a /dev/video#16:13
stevie_mantgm4883: odd is right. I'm running .24 if that makes a difference16:22
stevie_mantgm4883: not sure which /dev/video# might be assigned to the 150 card. I know it's not 1 but there is a 016:23
stevie_mantgm4883: but video0 is not an option in -setup, just video1 which is my digital card16:34
tgm4883stevie_man, IDK, sorry16:34
tgm4883I haven't dealt with a PVR card or 0.24 in probably 5  years16:35
stevie_mantgm4883: no problem. I was going to use it as the analog portion of my hybrid card doesn't seem to scan any actual analog channels16:35
superm1stevie_man: might be a permissions thing18:09
superm1check permissions on /dev/video*18:10
superm1and see if whatever permissions it has you can actually use from the user you're running mythtv-setup as18:10
superm1and more importantly that the mythtv daemon user has those permissions too18:10
stevie_mansuperm1: hmmm not sure what I did but now video0 and 24 are no longer listed when I do a ls /dev18:11
superm1reboot and they should be created by udev if the card is working and drivers load18:11
stevie_mansuperm1: I'll give that a try right now18:12
stevie_mansuperm1:Same permissions that video1 has which is a working card in Myth18:15
superm1stevie_man: look it up with 'getfacl'18:16
superm1see if they're the same with that18:16
stevie_mansuperm1: I think I noticed a few messages on bootup about ivtv0 which I believe is the 150 card. Do you have any idea which log I should check for bootup messages?18:16
superm1 /var/log/syslog18:20
superm1or the command dmesg18:20
stevie_mansuperm1: Thanks, found what I was looking for looks like I'm missing some firmware? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6342681/ (line 59)?18:26
superm1stevie_man: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware19:01
superm1that should get you what you need19:01
stevie_manSo I found the firmware file and the card is noticed by mythtv-setup now19:01
superm1i could have sworn we had that part of the linux-firmware-nonfree package at some point, but maybe it got dropped19:01
superm1good :)19:02
stevie_mansuperm1: thanks19:02
superm1sure19:02
stevie_mansuperm1: I have a new problem. The channel scan takes about 20 seconds, doesn't go above 5%, locks on every channel, and finds no channels19:02
superm1stevie_man: check in that same syslog for the driver mentioning anything about this19:03
superm1or in the terminal mythtv-setup is running in19:03
stevie_mansuperm1: It's a scan for analog channels if that makes any difference19:03
stevie_mansuperm1: Apparently the analog scan doesn't work in myth .24 but I can manually add the channels and they are just fine19:38
superm1oh weird19:38
superm1why not upgrade to a newer release?19:39
stevie_mansuperm1: I haven't got around to it, plus I'm on Debian so it's a PITA20:01
stevie_mansuperm1: ALso apparent;y the 150 isn't supported in .25+20:01
