SV: [mythtv-users] Which ivtv modules to load for pvr-150mce ?

I'm trying to find out which modules should be loaded when I modprobe the ivtv module. The only module you should ever load is ivtv. All other modules will be loaded by ivtv (assuming you load ivtv correctly--using modprobe and /not/ insmod). I've already discovered that msp3400 doesn't get loaded (no dependency in modules.dep to the main ivtv module) so I'm wondering what else I have to load manually. msp3400 is the driver for the sound processor for PVR-250/350. The PVR-150 uses the cx25840. Therefore, if you load msp3400, at best, it wastes memory and at worst, it causes conflicts. I guess that since the header for saa7127.c says its an encoder, I need it but I assume that the decoder saa7115 is pvr-350 specific and so I don't load it! All very confusing!! No idea whether I have to pass any parameters across during loading since many of the howtos are either old or 350 specific :-(( I get video OK but so far audio only sometime on video, nothing from the radio and nothing from the line inputs. I'm running latest SVN (0.3.9+ == trunk) - not sure if there are any gotchas there. Any pointers appreciated. modprobe ivtv and make sure you have the right module options. For 0.3.8+, that should mean that you have no options specified for ivtv modules (it will autodetect. Mike What about checking that you don't have conflicting modules specified in /etc/modules. I had trouble with eeprom getting loaded there and then ivtv ran into problems because it couldn't pull in tveeprom. But dmesg should clue you in on that kind of thing.

Greetings I guess the subject says it all really. Many of the howtos revolve about the 250 (old) and 350 (with output).

Any pointers appreciated. -- Robin Gilks Others will clarify this, but I'm pretty sure it depends which version of the card you're using (NTSC or PAL). I'm at my windows box at the moment so can't tell you which modules are getting loaded for my PAL 500MCE (2x150). I remember that I had to take out some lines from my /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv (debian) file in relation to following Jarods guide (http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#capture), especially the tveeprom-ivtv and msp3400 lines were messing up for me as they seemed to be ntsc related. I think the latest unstable v.3.x ivtv drivers set up most of this automatically now. I also remember that I had to make sure that eeprom wasn't getting loaded before ivtv as it blocks for tveeprom which ivtv needs. I commented it out and my lmsensors which used it is working fine without. Other than that I think it's just a matter of setting up the major and minor numbers device numbers. Depending on your source for ivtv and your distro you may have to build the modules using module-assistant: This is what I had to do in Debian: #module-assistant prepare #module-assistant auto-install ivtv0.3 After that they should load in the usual way.
