After a power cycle (shutdown -h, turn computer off then back on again) it is recognized as a 250 again.. Maybe it is firmware related, I also had to upgrade ivtv to make the 150 work at all..

Unfortunantly, I had to reboot and now myth doesn't function. dmsg reports the card as a 150 not a 250. IvyTV versions 0.1.x and 0.2.x will assume a card is a PVR-250 is the card isn't recognized. Since version 0.3.x is primarily concerned with getting PVR-150 and PVR-500 support added to ivtv, it assumes the card is a PVR-150. Since IvyTV made the assumption that a card was a PVR-250 unless it was recognized before the PVR-150 and PVR-500 were released, pretty much the only people who reported card details as described were PVR-350 users (at least until the cardtype option was added, at which point, people stopped reporting the details). Therefore, most older PVR-350's and some newer PVR-350's are recognized, but a great number of PVR-250's are not (because for some reason people didn't read their log messages, so they didn't realize they should report them ;). It's quite likely that IvyTV will make the assumption in the future that a card is a PVR-150 unless recognized (since most new cards will be PVR-150's), so it would definitely be good to report yours as unrecognized... a while back someone mentioned setting card options in the modprobe.conf file, but didn't detail the edits needed. While this would work, it doesn't help all those other people who have cards like you, so getting the driver fixed is probably the better approach... Other approaches: - Use ivtv 0.2.x (if you have a PVR-150 or PVR-500 in addition to the PVR-250, this approach may not work). - Edit ivtv-cards.c to include the PCI ID of your card - Specify the cardtype option to your ivtv module (i.e. add a line options ivtv cardtype=x where x is the appropriate value for the cardtype option as listed by modinfo ivtv) However, if you don't post your card's info, think of all the people whose cards have the same PCI ID as yours who will be asking how to make their PVR-250 that's recognized as a PVR-150 work... So, to help answer some of those questions, if you decide not to provide the requested info to the IvyTV ML, I expect you to answer at least 20 e-mail requests for this information. So, posting the card info once is probably easier than providing this information 20 times. ;) Thanks, Mike ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Hauppaugge PVR250 recognized as PVR150
thanks for the info after an hour of additional research and (a lot of) experimentation I came across a method to fix this issue the key was adding the following line to modprobe.conf options ivtv cardtype=2 in the future I ask that when people find a fix to a given problem they insure the fix is syntaxically correct.
