I am making some progress: I have configured xmltv and I can view my local TV guide. I am able to go to the guide and select a program. When I do this, I get a black screen...nothing else.
For this initial configuration, I have my STB set to a channel, the video coming into my PVR-150 via S-Video 1, and my audio also going into the PVR-150 card. For the record, this configuration does work properly under MythTV. My log shows the following: Driver: ivtv Card: Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 Version: 256.00 Capabilities: 0x01070051 Enumerating supported Standards. 0: 0xf PAL-BGH 1: 0xe0 PAL-DK 2: 0x10 PAL-I 3: 0x100 PAL-M 4: 0x200 PAL-N 5: 0x400 PAL-Nc 6: 0xd0000 SECAM-BGH 7: 0x320000 SECAM-DK 8: 0x400000 SECAM-L 9: 0x800000 SECAM-L' 10: 0x1000 NTSC-M 11: 0x2000 NTSC-J 12: 0x8000 NTSC-K Current Standard is: 0xb000 Enumerating supported Inputs. 0: Tuner 1 1: S-Video 1 2: Composite 1 3: S-Video 2 4: Composite 2 Input: 1 Width: 720, Height: 480 Read Frequency: 1076 CODEC::aspect: 2 CODEC::audio_bitmask: 0x69 CODEC::bframes: 3 CODEC::bitrate_mode: 1 CODEC::bitrate: 8000000 CODEC::bitrate_peak: 9600000 CODEC::dnr_mode: 0 CODEC::dnr_spatial: 0 CODEC::dnr_temporal: 0 CODEC::dnr_type: 0 CODEC::framerate: 0 CODEC::framespergop: 12 CODEC::gop_closure: 1 CODEC::pulldown: 0 CODEC::stream_type: 10 2008-02-27 20:43:07,252 INFO ivtv_xine_tv.py (371): IVTV_XINE_TV: Show OSD Message: 'KDFW: Back to You' 2008-02-27 20:43:07,253 INFO ivtv_xine_tv.py (391): IVTV_XINE_TV: SeekEnd not needed 2008-02-27 20:43:07,255 INFO ivtv_xine_tv.py (881): XineApp: Starting xine, cmd = '/usr/bin/xine --auto-play=fq --hide-gui --borderless --geometry 800x600+0+0 --no-splash --no-lirc --post='pp:quality=10;expand' -V None -A None --stdctl pvr://you must set XINE_TV_TIMESHIFT_FILEMASK in your local_conf.py' 2008-02-27 20:43:07,415 INFO ivtv_xine_tv.py (1036): XineThread: state 'None' -> 'busy' 2008-02-27 20:43:08,037 INFO ivtv_xine_tv.py (341): IVTV_XINE_TV: Started 'tv' app 2008-02-27 20:43:08,047 INFO ivtv_xine_tv.py (401): IVTV_XINE_TV: 'tv' app got 'VIDEO_START' event 2008-02-27 20:43:08,052 INFO ivtv_xine_tv.py (401): IVTV_XINE_TV: 'tv' app got 'PLAY_START' event 2008-02-27 20:43:08,057 INFO ivtv_xine_tv.py (401): IVTV_XINE_TV: 'tv' app got 'STOP' event 2008-02-27 20:43:08,243 INFO ivtv_xine_tv.py (361): IVTV_XINE_TV: Stopped 'tv' app 2008-02-27 20:43:08,250 INFO ivtv_xine_tv.py (1036): XineThread: state 'busy' -> 'stop' 2008-02-27 20:43:08,252 INFO ivtv_xine_tv.py (1050): XineThread: Stoppping xine 2008-02-27 20:43:08,357 INFO ivtv_xine_tv.py (1065): XineThread: Stopped ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Freevo 1.7.6.1 r10340 finished at Wed Feb 27 20:42:45 2008 ============================================================================ ==== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Molohan Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 2:52 PM To: freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] Looking for general setup info Evan Hisey wrote: > David- > The feature you actually are looking for is going in to the SVN > soon, but has not made yet do to waiting for the XINE guys to make the > next stable release on their end.

If that's the case it should be fairly easy for you with the pvr150 card. You'll be using the ivtv_xine plugin. Have a look through the following pages on the wiki to get you started. If you're still stuck turn on debugging and post back here. http://doc.freevo.org/Configuration - starting point for configuring freevo http://doc.freevo.org/TVConfig - starting point for all tv configurations dvb/ivtv/analogue http://doc.freevo.org/XMLTV - to configure your guide data. http://doc.freevo.org/Analogueivtv - to configure freevo for your ivtv card (which I've just updated :) ) John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
