Hi Kevin.

You might like to check out this guide : 
http://www.users.on.net/~jani/dvico-mythtv.html#toc


I'm not sure support for the card is built into the kernel yet, so that 
guide might be better for you.


good luck!

One thing I noticed is that in your lsmod, there were no video decoder 
modules in it (e.g. bt848)... I'd presume you need that module loading 
because the dvb hardware is accessed through the video decoder.  You 
probably need to enable i2c bit-banging and i2c-algo-bit if they're not 
already done.


Justin.

 It's either that or edit the udev rules for dvb devices. I tried running coldplug as default rebooted my machine I run mythsetup I get
when selecting dvb
Card name: could not open card #0
Card Type: No such device or address

edit rules for udev? what do you mean?

Thanks

For some reason unknown to me, the udev er.. thingy that creates the 
devices tree under /dev doesn't quite work properly for dvb devices.  In 
kernel 2.6.10 I still used devfs, but I took the plunge  did away with 
the deprecated system (not sure I had a choice exactly).


I had the same problem you're having when I built a new system to 
upgrade the backend using kernel 2.6.12.whatever


I searched on google for ages  saw something about the udev rules.  I 
had a look at the rules config file  saw pretty scary stuff (to my eyes 
anyway).


It was then I tried coldplug  hotplug.  I'm not sure hotplug made a 
difference, but you can try it.  Here's the result of me doing

rc-update -s  (with the non-running services deleted to save space).

This is from using a stage3 install mind you...

Oh - and check that the kernel modules for the DVB card are being loaded 
at boot time (i.e. that they're in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6) 
BEFORE mythbackend starts up - that can cause problems too.


What I always recommend you do is get the hardware working and verify 
it's working BEFORE even going into mythtv.  That way you know which is 
to blame (and it's never myth).

H is this after installing dvico or linuxtv? I have bloated my kernel image out to include the dvb-t drivers.
I have also set them to modules and added to the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

2005-08-25 Thread Kevin Saenz
Hi all,

I have finally made the move from mandrake10.0 and Mythtv 0.15, to
Gentoo ( I have built a couple of laptops and a server.) I am
installing Gentoo 2005.1 I am building against 2.6.12 kernel. When I
run dmesg I get

Linux video capture interface: v1.00
bttv: driver version 0.9.15 loaded
bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture

It looks like my kernel build has picked up the capture card when I
run ls in /dev I the only mention I get about dvb

dvb0.demux0
dvb0.dvr0
dvb0.frontend0
dvb0.net0

if I run mythsetup, and select the dvb capture card I get can't find
the card. To me it appears that the kernel revision I have has changed
the dvb location from /dev/dvb/frontend0 to /dev/dvb.frontend. Is
there a work around to get my capture card working under mythtv?

Thanks

Kevin
