[mythtv-users] Remove recordings that don't exist from database
Hello everyone, I was just wondering how I can truncate the database which holds the recordings that myth ahs done. I removed the file by mistake and now the recordings screen shows the recordings but the file does not exist thus being like a dead link. any help would be appreciated.

New versions of the Xbox software are not as susceptible to these tricks. You might need a modchip, and newer versions of Xbox hardware aren't compatible with the open-source Cromwell BIOS. The X-Box I picked up was a v1.0 with a 10Gb drive. It had never been connected to X-Box Live so it had the original dashboard. The hardest part of the whole installation was finding an original Mech Assault as most rental and used-game places only had the patched version. I found one eventually and now I'm running Xebian and MythTV-frontend just fine. I downloaded the EvoX dashboard but so far haven't found a reason to install it as the current setup works well. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
RE: [mythtv-users] Black screen whenusingpvr-350decoder/tv-outoption
Ok. I would go to the latest driver version
Dont worry about 7127 parameters. You probably don't need any options to
ivtv though I do use ivtv_std=2 to force PAL but I believe that should work
now.
Start from that and see what happens.
I may well look at the 7127 options because I have had a few people try and
fail to get a test image working.

Ok I'm confused. IVTV doesn't appear to return EINVAL from that write
call.
Anyway 0.3.2c is fairly old I would suggest that we start by upgrading
to
the latest version. Then lets try to get things working slowly.
Ahh.. ¿EINVAL? Let me start from the begining:
The ivtv drivers have a kernel module called saa7127. This module has
parameters, like test_image, output_enable, output_select... I was
following TVout howto. But I couldn't get any parameter to work. I always
had
the same error:
saa7127: unsupported module, tainting kernel.
saa7127: Unknown parameter `test-image'
saa7127: Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones
load_module: err 0xfffe (dont worry)
So, I edited the source code of the saa7127.c and did the modfications by
hand. For example:
static int debug = 1;
static int test_image =0;
A changed to:
static int debug = 1;
static int test_image = 1;
I did the same for the standar type (ntsc or pal):
static int saa7127_set_norm(struct i2c_client *client)
{
struct saa7127 *encoder = (struct saa7127
*)i2c_get_clientdata(client);
const struct i2c_reg_value *inittab;
switch (encoder-norm) {
case SAA7127_VIDEO_NORM_NTSC:
dprintk(1, Selecting NTSC video Standard\n);
inittab = saa7127_init_config_ntsc;
encoder-reg_61 = SAA7127_NTSC_DAC_CONTROL;
break;
case SAA7127_VIDEO_NORM_PAL:
dprintk(1, Selecting PAL video Standard\n);
inittab = saa7127_init_config_pal;
encoder-reg_61 = SAA7127_PAL_DAC_CONTROL;
break;
default:
return -EINVAL;
}
/* Write Table */
saa7127_write_inittab(client, inittab);
return 0;
}
A changed to:
static int saa7127_set_norm(struct i2c_client *client)
{
struct saa7127 *encoder = (struct saa7127
*)i2c_get_clientdata(client);
const struct i2c_reg_value *inittab;
switch (encoder-norm) {
case SAA7127_VIDEO_NORM_NTSC:
dprintk(1, Selecting PAL video Standard\n);
inittab = saa7127_init_config_pal;
encoder-reg_61 = SAA7127_PAL_DAC_CONTROL;
break;
case SAA7127_VIDEO_NORM_PAL:
dprintk(1, Selecting PAL video Standard\n);
inittab = saa7127_init_config_pal;
encoder-reg_61 = SAA7127_PAL_DAC_CONTROL;
break;
default:
return -EINVAL; OOPS
}
/* Write Table */
saa7127_write_inittab(client, inittab);
return 0;
}
So it always use PAL (whatever the standard is). Mythtv does something
that
return EINVAL when calling this function.
I will email the ivtv list to see if they can fix the parmeters on the
saa7127
module.

I am currently going to purchase a PCI card for a smaller desktop box to transfer my mythtv box into. The 2 cheapest PCI cards with S-Video out I could find are the MX 000 and the 9200SE. From benchmarks I see the 9200SE is faster @ 3D but is it a pain to setup? I am currently running a FX5200 which is great at S-Video out. Overscan is definitely a plus. Opinions? TIA Hi Johnny, I can't compare the two directly as I haven't tried an MX4000, but have used Nvidia cards up to fairly recently, and tried most of them using composite out to a 50Hz TV. The last machine I set up with TV out used an ATI 9200SE, and I have to say I was very impressed by the clarity and stability of the TV picture (using the proprietary drivers from ATI) into an ordinary 50Hz TV. Unfortunately the box was stolen before I had the chance to finish setting it up so I can't tell you more. I think it is true that Nvidia may be easier to set up. I was still having trouble with screen resizing (using Xfree86 4.3) and 3D acceleration, but there was plenty of help available on the net for these issues. I know several people on the list have had trouble with ATI cards so this is by no means a recommendation, but I wanted to share my positive experience.

[mythtv-users] Freqid and Sky Digital
Hi, Hoping someone out there can help me. I've got MythTV receiving input from a Sky Digital STB, via a Hauppauge PVR-350. The signal is coming via S-video into the S-video IN on my PVR350. Everything appears to be working correctly except for one small problem - changing channels. Running tv_grab_uk_rt does not populate any freqids in the database (wait, I know you're going to say mythfilldatabase --manual) but in actuality I don't need Myth/ivtv or whatever to tune to the selected station, it simply needs to send 3 numbers to the box and the box changes it. Right now when I press the arrow keys to go up or down a channel it just pauses for a while and then comes back with the same channel information. I understand from the debugging output that this is because there are missing freqids from the europe-west freqtable I am using (e.g. SE11, E8, etc). If I run ptune.pl -f pal-europe-west --list-channels I get a list of known frequency IDs. I *could* use these freqids to populate the database manually, but the problem there then is that there are only 109 known freqids, and I have - from memory - at least 160 channels in the database. All I basically want Myth to do when I type in a channel number, or press up/down on the cursor keys is to adjust the program guide and OSD accordingly. I don't need it to try and *tune* anything, since ultimately I will have to get it set up so it sends the necessary numbers down an IR Redeye or similar bit of kit to change it. Any ideas? I can't believe I'm the first person to hit this problem, and yet I couldn't find any specific info anywhere in the archives.

I am currently going to purchase a PCI card for a smaller desktop box to transfer my mythtv box into. The 2 cheapest PCI cards with S-Video out I could find are the MX 000 and the 9200SE. From benchmarks I see the 9200SE is faster @ 3D but is it a pain to setup? I am currently running a FX5200 which is great at S-Video out. Overscan is definitely a plus. Opinions? TIA Hi Johnny, I can't compare the two directly as I haven't tried an MX4000, but have used Nvidia cards up to fairly recently, and tried most of them using composite out to a 50Hz TV. The last machine I set up with TV out used an ATI 9200SE, and I have to say I was very impressed by the clarity and stability of the TV picture (using the proprietary drivers from ATI) into an ordinary 50Hz TV. Unfortunately the box was stolen before I had the chance to finish setting it up so I can't tell you more. I think it is true that Nvidia may be easier to set up. I was still having trouble with screen resizing (using Xfree86 4.3) and 3D acceleration, but there was plenty of help available on the net for these issues. I know several people on the list have had trouble with ATI cards so this is by no means a recommendation, but I wanted to share my positive experience. Cheers Marius Registered Linux user I tried setting up an Radeon 7000 card and gave up in the end. Info on the net is plentiful but scarce when it comes down to specific issues. I now use an fx5200 which i love. nVidia has official linux drivers and the card does xvmc, taking the load of the CPU when decoding the mpeg stream. Also, it's cheap. I use the card's vga output feeding a projector and the quality is absolutely stunning.

It vanishes randomly specially when recording one particular channel. I have to say that the card PVR250 works well with mplayer or other. I have made a test playing /dev/video0 with mplayer just after closing mythtv. There was no sound. I tuned with 'ptune.pl' the same channel and then the sound came back. It sounds (not a joke) like mythtv missconfig the ivtv driver. I didn't notice such a problem on my old config (PIII 733 MHz; mandrake 10.1; mythtv 17) apart from the jerky pictures. Can someone help? My config: mob ASUS p4p800-e delux; P4 3.0E GHz; PVR 250; mandriva 2005; mythtv 18.1; SECAM France. The change for mythtv 18.1 points out that the bug about MPEG stream was corrected. It seems not. Yves I had a similar problem with my PVR 250 with the 0.2.0 series ivtv drivers.

I've got MythTV receiving input from a Sky Digital STB, via a Hauppauge PVR-350. The signal is coming via S-video into the S-video IN on my PVR350. Everything appears to be working correctly except for one small problem - changing channels. Running tv_grab_uk_rt does not populate any freqids in the database (wait, I know you're going to say mythfilldatabase --manual) but in actuality I don't need Myth/ivtv or whatever to tune to the selected station, it simply needs to send 3 numbers to the box and the box changes it. Right now when I press the arrow keys to go up or down a channel it just pauses for a while and then comes back with the same channel information. I understand from the debugging output that this is because there are missing freqids from the europe-west freqtable I am using (e.g. SE11, E8, etc). If I run ptune.pl -f pal-europe-west --list-channels I get a list of known frequency IDs. I *could* use these freqids to populate the database manually, but the problem there then is that there are only 109 known freqids, and I have - from memory - at least 160 channels in the database. All I basically want Myth to do when I type in a channel number, or press up/down on the cursor keys is to adjust the program guide and OSD accordingly. I don't need it to try and *tune* anything, since ultimately I will have to get it set up so it sends the necessary numbers down an IR Redeye or similar bit of kit to change it. Any ideas?

I have 512MB in the machine, and it seems to run fairly 'full' - I've seen it at 1% or 2% free when a lot was going on. Hi Steve, Sorry to hear about your problems. 512MB should be plenty. I'm running a similar setup (Athlon XP 2500+, 512 MB, 1x350, 1x250, NForce2, etc) and when both tuners are running, I have no problems at all. When you say 1% or 2% free, how are you checking this? If you run free -m at the command line, it'll give you a breakdown of your memory usage. The first line might make things look pretty occupied, but you'll probably notice that a good deal of your space is occupied by the disk cache. The second line is the interesting one, showing the used and free memory when the disk cache is removed from the numbers. When my machine (frontend + backend combined) is recording on both tuners, (and watching a recording, and serving an mp3 to me here at work, transcoding through lame...) I'm only seeing ~16% CPU usage, and the memory used is 271 MB (231 MB free). Could the problem be your hard drives? DMA is enabled? Cheers, Anthony. Thank you for the reply, Anthony - you're right, I was looking at the memory usage from top, which included disk cache. Checking with free shows much less occupied. DMA *is* enabled on my drive (200GB), although having said that I can note that on the day the meltdown occurred, it was more full than it had ever been before (thank you, Sci Fi channel). Not sure if that could have anything to do with it. I rolled back to ivtv-0.2.0-rc3k and was able to record successfully yesterday - unfortunately, I'm seeing the same black screen on playback that prompted me to upgrade to 0.3.6g when I first built the machine. Sooo, sounds like it might be more a problem for the ivtv list after all. I just hate the seeming randomness of it all, makes me worry about what would happen if I went out of town and it broke.

Without the channel changer script, the tunner will attempt to change by returning the coax input, as you've got a s-video input, from and external box, you need to setup myth to call a channel change script, this also requires a blaster (ir/rf) to actually change the box (i.e. send the infrared signal for the channel) Additionally, you will want mythfilldatabase to populate your scehdule from Radio Times, or you'll be missing the advantages of Myth. Ant. I've already got mythfilldatabase populating the schedule from RT, with the correct channel numbers and even some icons. I'm not too fussed about MythTV actually changing the channel at the moment because I know this will involve scripts and an IR blaster. I'm more concerned by the fact that when I type in the channel number, or press up or down on the keyboard - it just pauses and then shows me the same on-screen information. I don't know if I'm making much sense or not - basically since the feed from the Sky Digital box is just a video feed Myth will have no way of knowing what channel, frequency or whatever the Sky box will be running. I do not need Myth or my PVR card to do any tuning at all, the coax connection is not even used - I just want the OSD and TV guide to reflect the change in channel (in other words, if I type in 301 - I want it to switch to Sky Sports 1 on the OSN and TV guide, irrespective of whats being shown on the screen (as that's a separate configuration issue imo). Perhaps you need to use a dummy script that MythTV can innocently run when trying to change channel. If the channel change script value is populated with a script the exists, Myth will not try to tune automatically to the freqid. I think that if there is no script being called, the channel change will fail, and myth will remain on the same channel it was on before. If Myth thinks the channel change script returned OK, it will probably then update the OSD with the new channel info. Does browse mode work though when watching the feed from the Sky box? I.e. just getting the different channel info but not trying to actually change channel? Hope I'm being clear - I know it's a slightly confusing scenario. It would probably be easier if I was using a DVB card, with the Sky signal being fed directly into the card in the PC - but then I would only be able to view Free-to-Air channels (all premium Sky channels are encrypted and require the STB to decrypt). Only if the DVB card was a DVB-S card probably. I'm not sure if the Sky box would provide a DVB-T version on the channels and not DVB-S as it's coming from satellite and not OTA.

Hi George, thanks for the reply. Upon further testing, my two recordings at once theory didn't hold up. Even after a restart, going from a dead-calm system to record on one tuner, the exact same thing happens - always 18-20 seconds into the recording, a burst of 'fast-forward' and then all is lost.

[mythtv-users] Keyboard partially working in recordings.
I have a remote frontend-only machine, and for some reason, many of the keyboard commands no longer work. When watching a recording, Esc seems to work, and P (for pause) seems to be okay. But other functions, like i (for Info) or space/enter (to save the current position) don't work whatsoever. The arrow keys also work fine, since we are able to navigate through the menus and choose recordings to view. I checked the host name of the machine, and it does appear to be set properly, as well as the looking the keybindings for that machine via mythweb. Everything looks okay, but still, the keyboard isn't fully functional when playing back recordings. Any idea as to where I might look?

[mythtv-users] Disk utilization on slave backend questions
Hey all, I'm currently running a combo frontend/backend machine which has a 200 GB hard drive, and one PVR-250 tuner card. I'd like to add a slave backend which would also have a PVR-250 tuner card and a 160 GB drive. I feel like I have an OK understanding of how a distributed Myth system will work, but I'm a little confused about the best way to configure the drives. Does it make sense to put the 160 GB drive in the slave backend? I assume that whatever recording is done on the slave, whether it's live TV or just a standard recording, will get written to that local drive. So therefore, if the slave is down for any reason, then I obviously won't be able to watch whatever shows were recorded on it. Additionally, can the master backend/frontend machine just see the 160G drive on the slave? Or do I need to set up an NFS or something...? On the other hand, if I put the 160G drive on the combo frontend/backend box (along-side the 200G drive), then any recording the slave does has to be pushed across the network to the combo machine. Is this a big deal? I guess I'm mainly wondering what other Myth users feel is the best way to set this up as far as disk usage is concerned.

I'd be tempted to set up a dedicated master backend, using both drives and both capture cards - it can also be used as a frontend locally, and the other machine could just be used as a dedicated frontend. This way, you don't have to worry about the slave being off or inaccessible, all disk space can be utilised easily, and both capture cards are always available.

RE: [mythtv-users] IMDB Screen Scrap... legal?
On that matter, I've been tossing around some ideas about a community server. I have some additional real-time functionality I'd like to build in but one of the static concepts is I'd like to build a server that automatically looks up reviews that other myth-tv users have submitted. Eg I love the film The Mechanic with Charles Bronson, some of you guys might see that it is showing on channel xyz but not know anything about it, you might be interested in checking out if anyone else has reviewed it - when you see my write up it might convince you to check it out. It would also be interesting to see if we could get the oztivo guys involved. Does anyone think this is of value? Anyone able to give some advice to my software developer who has never built anything for myth tv in his life before some ideas about how to set it up? Any thoughts?

I however chose to make use of the slave backend as a slave backend. I stuffed a capture card in there, setup the hard drive, and used it as a slave backend. It works great, when I switch cards locally before, it switched just as you would expect, and now when I switch cards, it includes the card stuffed in the slave backend, and if I wasn't a hardware nut, there wouldn't be an easy way to tell the difference! I really like this setup. But you mentioned if the backend is down, I can't access my recordings from that machine. This is absolutely true. I however don't plan on having it down. If it 'goes to sleep' I can always wake it. I find it quite... nice to have 2 seperate backends rather than everything thrown into 1 box. It's more attribution to Myth's awesome features, plus it gives me the ability to expand much easier. In the end, the answer you really need is that it's just personal preference.

Re: [mythtv-users] Disk utilization on slave backend questions
Thanks everyone, it sounds like I should stick with keeping local drives in the machines. One question Bruce about the NFS thing. Just so I'm understanding this correctly, I don't need NFS drives in order for my combo frontend/backend to be able to play a recording which was recorded on the slave's local drive, correct?

In other words, the master backend knows how to get data from the slave backend without requiring NFS. Please let me know if I'm mis-understanding this. Thanks!

Re: [mythtv-users] IMDB Screen Scrap... legal?
The Feist Decision held that one can't get a proprietary interest in the unorigianl assembalage of facts (like a phone book listing in alphabetical order, which was the precise question in that case). However, it leaves open protection for an original arrangement which IMDB could arguably present a case for. Nevertheless, there are many causes of actions that iumbd could have outside the scope of copyright law. If you are accessing their site in a way they have expressly forbidden (screenscraping), they could press a tresspass to chattels cause of action. Other companies such as eBay and Verio (I believe, whoever maintains the Whois database) has been succesful on this theory. Feist gives small comfort to someone who is screenscraping a site like imdb against their express wishes. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] IMDB Screen Scrap... legal?
My concern is not whether or not the user has another computer.. it's the break-up of the work.. You watch a show, then have to walk to your computer in your (office,kitchen,bedroom,livingroom,etc) and type in a review. I just don't think it'll happen. Granted, there are a select number of users who are really quite interested in writing reviews (hence why Amazon's reviews are thriving), but if I were to pick a number, say 5%, of myth users who were contributing, we'd still end up with a fairly paltry sample of data. Speaking of which, we could just use the product reviews from amazon's feed.. not great for brand new tv shows that aren't on DVD, but for those that are, or for movies, etc, it would work perfectly. And for those who actually _did_ want to write reviews, why not forward them to amazon's review system, and reciprocate that way? -=A Michael Carland wrote: On Jul 8, 2005, at 4:36 PM, Aaron Stewart wrote: Getting back to my original point..

Playback can go over a socket between a backend and frontend but there is no socket for one backend to send data to another backend to write the file (nor should there be). Mythbackend just needs a path to a writable directory. In other words, the master backend knows how to get data from the slave backend without requiring NFS. Master and slaves don't actually send recording data file content between each other. It is when a frontend wants to do playback that the magic happens. Say you have master A slave B and slave C each with local disks. You sit at host C watching the frontend and you select a show that happens to have been recorded on B. The frontend asks the master 'hey, where can I find this file?' The master says it is on B. The frontend on C then opens a socket to the backend on B who starts sending the data. These two myth processes negotiate a read ahead buffer that sends data ASAP while playback is going on until it gets two MB ahead. Next let's say you pick a show that was recorded on C. You would think it would go through the same steps again to connect to the local backend. However, the frontend cheats. It first looks to see if there is a prefix directory setting for it's hostname. If so, it checks to see if the file is there and will open the local file without going through any backend (this is a good thing). Because the frontend can read a local file or do smart application specific buffering for remote files, you don't need NFS for playback. -- bjm ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

As MythTV was and is released under the GPL, and is a growing multi-developer project, it would surely carry on.

[mythtv-users] Updated mythlink.sh
Attached is a modified version of mythlink.sh based on the original
script created by Dale Glass that's currently shipped in the contrib
directory of mythtv. Since I'm neither a Perl- nor a shell-scripting
expert, I'm posting it here to get some feedback and will submit it for
replacement of the original once any issues that may be identified are
worked out. (I chose the users list because many non-MythTV devs have
much better Perl/shell skills than I, and it allows more people to play
with the script.)
I've made many changes to Dale's script--to the point the current script
bears little resemblance to the original (although nearly all of his
code can be found in there). The changes include:
- Provides multiple easily-configurable views
- System specific information is specified as environment variables
- Uses '-' to separate portions of the filename (instead of '_' since '_'
is used to replace special characters (such as the space character))
- Shows recording year
- Shows end time
- Separates date and time info
- Removes trailing separator (i.e. for movies, which have no subtitle)
- Adds an optional extension (for specifying filetype to Windows)
Current views include views sorted by record time, title/subtitle,
recgroup/title, category/title, and title/original airdate. Comments in
the script explain how to add views, and modifying/removing views is
very straightforward. The only required edits should be (barring
bugfixes) to the environment variables at the top of the script.
Feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
BTW, regarding the original airdate view:
The most useful view has recently become the original airdate view. Now
(in relatively recent CVS/SVN) original airdate has become (at least
semi-)reliably populated. (This is true for DataDirect users--I don't
know if it's also true for people using other grabbers.) It's great to
be able to use Samba/NFS to download copies of the recordings to my
laptop when going on trips and have the recordings sorted in the order I
should watch them.
Note that if you have NULL or -00-00 values, they will appear as
-00-00. Eventually, through attrition, most recordings will have
original airdate data. For those existing recordings that you plan to
keep and that lack original airdate data, you can use episode lists at
TV.com to edit the originalairdate field of the recorded table. (I did
so semi-manually. For movies and shows that didn't matter (i.e. Nova),
I set the missing originalairdates to the starttime of the recording,
and most other titles only had a few episodes needing info (since the
season is over :). For my 99 CSI recordings, I just used vi to
transform the All Seasons episode list into a bunch of SQL statements
that did the edits for me.)

[mythtv-users] Help with lirc_i2c - nothing happens..
I've got this thing *almost* working.
One exception though.. lirc_i2c
I have 2 separate hauppauge controllers.. a PVR150MCE and a PVR250. I'm
trying to use the remote for the PVR250 (which is the second card, the 150
is 0 and the 250 is 1)
Everything with lirc seems to start and work correctly, but when I use the
/usr/bin/irw program to check communication nothing works.
Here's my modrobe.conf file
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
alias eth0 r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 1.1.2
alias eth1 sis900
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0

I've followed wilson.net instructions and even double/triple/quadruple
checked everything and can't seem to find an issue..
I'm using the control file from the web site for the grey and black (older?)
remote..
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [mythtv-users] MythTV on XDSL on XBox
The fact that XDSL doesnt ship with xfree86 (or xorg) makes it a little tricky. Just out of curiosity I have 2 xboxes that I play games on and use for myth and I havent had a problem. So I guess my question what is your problem? Jamison Ables Michael Knoll wrote: What issues did you encounter? I was really hoping to be able to use XDSL, not for the fast boot time, but the read-only file system. I use my xbox for games and myth, and making shutting down linux frequent, and a pain. Anyone know of any other xbox live cds that are expandable with packages? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I have a feeling you may need another alias definition for the second
(PVR-250) capture card in your modprobe.conf:
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
I have a feeling that the i2c module will not work without a suitable
ivtv module being attached to the card, but could be (and likely are)
wrong! Can you capture from the command line from both cards now?

Re: [mythtv-users] Black screen whenusingpvr-350decoder/tv-outoption
is it necessary to rebuild mythtv AFTER updating the ivtv drivers?

John Harvey wrote:
Ok. I would go to the latest driver version
Don’t worry about 7127 parameters. You probably don't need any options to
ivtv though I do use ivtv_std=2 to force PAL but I believe that should work
now.
Start from that and see what happens.
I may well look at the 7127 options because I have had a few people try and
fail to get a test image working.

Ok I'm confused. IVTV doesn't appear to return EINVAL from that write
call.
Anyway 0.3.2c is fairly old I would suggest that we start by upgrading
to
the latest version. Then lets try to get things working slowly.
Ahh.. ¿EINVAL? Let me start from the begining:
The ivtv drivers have a kernel module called saa7127. This module has
parameters, like test_image, output_enable, output_select... I was
following TVout howto. But I couldn't get any parameter to work. I always
had
the same error:
saa7127: unsupported module, tainting kernel.
saa7127: Unknown parameter `test-image'
saa7127: Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones
load_module: err 0xfffe (dont worry)
So, I edited the source code of the saa7127.c and did the modfications by
hand. For example:
static int debug = 1;
static int test_image =0;
A changed to:
static int debug = 1;
static int test_image = 1;
I did the same for the standar type (ntsc or pal):
static int saa7127_set_norm(struct i2c_client *client)
{
struct saa7127 *encoder = (struct saa7127
*)i2c_get_clientdata(client);
const struct i2c_reg_value *inittab;
switch (encoder-norm) {
case SAA7127_VIDEO_NORM_NTSC:
dprintk(1, Selecting NTSC video Standard\n);
inittab = saa7127_init_config_ntsc;
encoder-reg_61 = SAA7127_NTSC_DAC_CONTROL;
break;
case SAA7127_VIDEO_NORM_PAL:
dprintk(1, Selecting PAL video Standard\n);
inittab = saa7127_init_config_pal;
encoder-reg_61 = SAA7127_PAL_DAC_CONTROL;
break;
default:
return -EINVAL;
}
/* Write Table */
saa7127_write_inittab(client, inittab);
return 0;
}
A changed to:
static int saa7127_set_norm(struct i2c_client *client)
{
struct saa7127 *encoder = (struct saa7127
*)i2c_get_clientdata(client);
const struct i2c_reg_value *inittab;
switch (encoder-norm) {
case SAA7127_VIDEO_NORM_NTSC:
dprintk(1, Selecting PAL video Standard\n);
inittab = saa7127_init_config_pal;
encoder-reg_61 = SAA7127_PAL_DAC_CONTROL;
break;
case SAA7127_VIDEO_NORM_PAL:
dprintk(1, Selecting PAL video Standard\n);
inittab = saa7127_init_config_pal;
encoder-reg_61 = SAA7127_PAL_DAC_CONTROL;
break;
default:
return -EINVAL; OOPS
}
/* Write Table */
saa7127_write_inittab(client, inittab);
return 0;
}
So it always use PAL (whatever the standard is). Mythtv does something
that
return EINVAL when calling this function.
I will email the ivtv list to see if they can fix the parmeters on the
saa7127
module.
Thanks,

Re: [mythtv-users] Help with lirc_i2c - nothing happens..
Nick,
Interesting possibility for another alias.. I'll try it.
I'm also wondering if the 250 should be the first card?
I haven't captured from the command line for either card.. but They're both
working perfectly from within MythTV. I can record 2 separate programs,
watch live tv on 2 separate frontends, record 2 separate programs etc..
Do I need to try the command line at this point?
