Hi freevo-users,
It seems that the HVR-1300 is supported, since march of 2007 by the cx8800
driver, and also in newer kernels by ivtv driver, but I don't know how to
use this driver :
I just compiled today the last stock kernel (2.6.22-6), hoping to have a
better support for this board.
Here is what I found in the "make menuconfig" :
<M> Conexant 2388x (bt878 successor) support
<M> Conexant 2388x DMA audio support
<M> Blackbird MPEG encoder support (cx2388x + cx23416)
<M> DVB/ATSC Support for cx2388x based TV cards
<M> VP-3054 Secondary I2C Bus Support
<M> Conexant cx23416/cx23415 MPEG encoder/decoder support
The help for the 3rd line is:
CONFIG_VIDEO_CX88_BLACKBIRD:
This adds support for MPEG encoder cards based on the
Blackbird reference design, using the Conexant 2388x
and 23416 chips.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called cx88-blackbird.
The help of the last line is:
CONFIG_VIDEO_IVTV:
This is a video4linux driver for Conexant cx23416 or cx23416 based
PCI personal video recorder devices.
This is used in devices such as the Hauppauge PVR-150/250/350/500
cards.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called ivtv.
We see the mention of the ivtv kernel module.
I must say that the cx88* modules are loaded automatically at boot. Not the
ivtv one.
I then have done a "modprobe ivtv" after the end of booting of the
2.6.22-6kernel.
No special info inside dmesg:
[ 349.563298] ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV
====================
[ 349.563298] ivtv: version 1.0.0 (2.6.22.6 SMP mod_unload VIAC7 ) loading
[ 349.563298] ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV
====================
The "lsmod | grep ivtv" shows this information:
# lsmod | grep ivtv
ivtv 135184 0

v4l2_common 18688 7
ivtv,cx88_blackbird,cx2341x,wm8775,cx8800,cx88xx,videodev
My question is the following:
Is the ivtv kernel module only supposed to replace the "Blackbird MPEG
encoder support (cx2388x + cx23416)" driver?
Or is the ivtv module supposed to replace totally all cx88xx* drivers
(cx88_blackbird, cx88_dvb, ...)
Is a "modprobe ivtv" enough to make the HVR-1300 working inside freevo?
I am lost among so much information, don't know in which direction to go.
What I want is to use my HVR-1300 with its mp2 encoder inside freevo, with
the ivtv_plugin.
Thx in advance,
_Pirlouwi.
