Hans, I guess my real question is this: If you have more than one pvr 150 that have different tuners what is the proper way to configure the second to use a different tuner than the first (maybe an MCE and a non MCE)?
Let us assume for the sake of argument there is no autodetect at all. There should be a way to do this but I have not been able to find any documentation on the ivtvdriver website, in any of the mailing lists, or any other place on the web. Thanks for the suggestion, please see comments below: -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Hans Verkuil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Selec > > On Friday 08 September 2006 20:52, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I have recently installed a second pvr-150 in my myth system and the > > second tuner will NOT autodetect.

I expected it to throw errors on boot as there actually is no module named "options" but it did not. It did not load the ivtv driver however until the hotplug stuff ran. I have tried your syntax you suggested above in the /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv file as stated below in my original post and it did not work (see below): > > only resulted in the driver not finding the firmware file to load at > > runtime so nothing works. > > > > > > Here is my dmesg output: > > ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== > > ivtv: version 0.7.0 (tagged release) loading > > ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.17-chw-8 SMP preempt mod_unload 586 gcc-3.4 > > ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info between > > ivtv: the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with > > ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist. > > ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 card (cx23416 based) > > ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0a.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 22 > > tuner 0-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #0) > > cx25840 0-0044: cx25843-23 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #0) > > cx25840 0-0044: loaded v4l-cx25840.fw firmware (16382 bytes) > > wm8775 0-001b: chip found @ 0x36 (ivtv i2c driver #0) > > tveeprom 0-0050: Hauppauge model 26052, rev C599, serial# 8805504 > > tveeprom 0-0050: tuner model is TCL 2002N 5H (idx 99, type 50) > > tveeprom 0-0050: TV standards NTSC(M) (eeprom 0x08) > > tveeprom 0-0050: audio processor is CX25843 (idx 37) > > tveeprom 0-0050: decoder processor is CX25843 (idx 30) > > tveeprom 0-0050: has no radio, has IR remote > > eth0: no IPv6 routers present > > eth1: no IPv6 routers present > > ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (262144 bytes) > > ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02050032 > > ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder MPEG stream: 128 x 32768 buffers (4096KB > > total) ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder YUV stream: 194 x 10800 buffers > > (2048KB total) ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder VBI stream: 120 x 17472 > > buffers (2048KB total) ivtv0: Allocate DMA encoder PCM audio stream: > > 455 x 4608 buffers (2048KB total) tuner 0-0061: type set to 50 (TCL > > 2002N) > > ivtv0: Initialized Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150, card #0 > > ivtv: ====================== NEXT CARD ====================== > > ivtv1: Autodetected Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 card (cx23416 based) > > ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0c.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 > > tuner 1-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #1) > > cx25840 1-0044: cx25841-23 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #1) > > cx25840 1-0044: loaded v4l-cx25840.fw firmware (16382 bytes) > > wm8775 1-001b: chip found @ 0x36 (ivtv i2c driver #1) > > tveeprom 1-0050: Hauppauge model 26132, rev F0B2, serial# 9399761 > > tveeprom 1-0050: tuner model is TCL M2523_5N_E (idx 112, type 4) > > tveeprom 1-0050: TV standards NTSC(M) (eeprom 0x08) > > tveeprom 1-0050: audio processor is CX25841 (idx 35) > > tveeprom 1-0050: decoder processor is CX25841 (idx 28) > > tveeprom 1-0050: has no radio, has IR remote > > ivtv1: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (262144 bytes) > > ivtv1: Encoder revision: 0x02050032 > > ivtv1: Allocate DMA encoder MPEG stream: 128 x 32768 buffers (4096KB > > total) ivtv1: Allocate DMA encoder YUV stream: 194 x 10800 buffers > > (2048KB total) ivtv1: Allocate DMA encoder VBI stream: 120 x 17472 > > buffers (2048KB total) ivtv1: Allocate DMA encoder PCM audio stream: > > 455 x 4608 buffers (2048KB total) tuner 1-0061: tuner type not set > > tuner 1-0061: tuner type not set > > ivtv1: Initialized Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150, card #1 > > ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ==================== > > > > > > Oddly enough this output was generated with the following > > /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv file in place > > alias char-major-81 videodev > > alias char-major-81-0 ivtv > > alias char-major-81-1 ivtv > > options ivtv tuner=50 > > Above is the /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv file which has the correct syntax in it as per your recommendation above. > > > > This is per your website at > > http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto#Module_options > > > > I have also tried it without the alias lines. > > > > I have tried the following tuner numbers with no success (per many > > different websites): > > 0,4,39,43,47,49,50 > > > > I have also tried renaming the above file to /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv1 to > > designate the second tuner and have tried with all the different > > combinations of tuner numbers. > > > > Unfortunately I could find no clear documentation on your site as to > > the structure of the config file for multiple tuners. > > > > I then upgraded my knoppmyth distro to R5D1 which was released a > > couple weeks ago.
