Analog video capture card Hauppage PVR-150 (ivtv driver) does not switch RF tuner channels when used with kernels newer than 2.6.25 (tested with gentoo-sources 2.6.26-r4, 2.6.27-r7 and 2.6.28). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge >=gentoo-sources-2.6.26-* 2. make oldconfig && make install modules_install 3. reboot Actual Results: Mythtv keeps recording on the same channel. Can not switch channels when viewing live TV either (mythfrontend reports new channel number, but receiption is stuck on the same channel that was last used under 2.6.25). Observed with media-tv/mythtv-0.21_p18314-r1. Expected Results: Successfully switching channels ;) This bug looks related to 250609 and 245106, however my hardware is slightly different and none of the remedies suggested there actually helped me.

Not a duplicate.
Could you please attach a /var/log/messages output , just after you try to switch channel?
Please try enabling CONFIG_MEDIA_ATTACH in 2.6.28. If that doesn't help, then please post lsmod output from after you have been unable to tune channels.
lsmod output from 2.6.25 would also be interesting
I also had problems with my cx88-based TV card, when the driver was built-in the kernel. No problem when it was built as a module. However, the problem is completely gone in gentoo-sources-2.6.28, so maybe you should try this one. See Bug 250609 that I submitte before for more details.

Seems that no tuner is loaded at all, i. e. something like this (taken from dmesg of 2.6.25) is missing ---------- tuner 0-0043: chip found @ 0x86 (ivtv i2c driver #0) tda9887 0-0043: tda988[5/6/7] found tuner 0-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #0) wm8775 0-001b: chip found @ 0x36 (ivtv i2c driver #0) tuner-simple 0-0061: type set to 47 (LG NTSC (TAPE series)) Anyway, can you please attach a complete dmesg from your 2.6.28 kernel? Another thing that I find rather strange is that your kernel config shows ------------------------ CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER=y CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMIZE=y CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_SIMPLE=m CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_...=m How did you produce this config (CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER=Y, but actual tuners compiled as module)?
Ok do you want to test this on vanilla sources? Because I have a PVR-150 and I'm about to test it out with vanilla-sources myself.
Question. What IVTV version do you have? When I do eix -Ss ivtv the latest version I see is 1.2.0, which does not work past kernel 2.6.25. You need version 1.3.0 for 2.6.26 and up (you should have re-emerged ivtv anyhow).

Created attachment 179332 [details] Greg's 2.6.28 Media .config settings
Please do get the most recent version of your .config. My PVR-150 works fine on 2.6.28.1 #1 SMP PREEMPT. As you can see from my current diff of our .configs, you have some things set to y that I have set to m, and I believe they previously mentioned the fact that you needed to set somethings to modules. For the record, I am currently using vanilla so I have not tested this on gentoo-sources.

Created attachment 179436 [details] kernel config for 2.6.28-gentoo-r1 (working)
I don't think it's v4l being compiled into the kernel which solved it. Look at your config now CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER=m CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMIZE=y CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_SIMPLE=m CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_...=m ... and then compare with CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER=y CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMIZE=y CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_SIMPLE=m CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_...=m which is what you had before (on 2.6.28). See comment #18.
Yeah, thats what I was trying to point out with my .config. I had certain parts labeled m that you had built-in. At any rate do we mark this bug as resolved now?

(In reply to comment #30) > I don't think it's v4l being compiled into the kernel which solved it. > CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER=m > CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER=y i will try to switch it later tonight. my question is which option in menuconfig 2.6.28 flips this one? i had to go and manually edit .config to put it as a module, which, i understand, is strongly discouraged.
(In reply to comment #33) > so it is now with 2.6.28. correction: with 2.6.28 it's the other way around: v4l as a module and i2c built in. the only i2c-related module that lsmod shows now is i2c_algo_bit.

This is all strange. I've tried to reproduce your kernel config (on some older 2.6.28-rc sources) and wasn't able to produce CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER=Y with CONFIG_MEDIA_TUNER_SIMPLE=m at the same time using "make menuconfig" Normally you should not (need to) manuallay edit .config and "make menuconfig" should not create inconsistent .config files, i. e. required components should be automatically selected and if dependent components need either be all builtin or all compiled as module, menuconfig should take care of this. As soon as I'm back to my highspeed internet connection I'll do some further tests using the exact same sources you used (it's gentoo-sources-2.6.28, right?)

Created attachment 182905 [details] IVTV - This only works on 2.6.25 kernels (current 2.6.28-gentoo-r1) Determining the location of the kernel source code Found kernel source directory: /usr/src/linux Found kernel object directory: /lib/modules/2.6.28-gentoo-r1/build Found sources for kernel version: 2.6.28-gentoo-r1 Each IVTV driver branch will only work with a specific linux kernel branch. You will need to either: a) emerge a different kernel b) emerge a different ivtv driver See http://ivtvdriver.org/ for more information ERROR: media-tv/ivtv-1.2.0-r1 failed. Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 49: Called pkg_setup ivtv-1.2.0-r1.ebuild, line 41: Called die The specific snippet of code: die "This only works on 2.6.25 kernels" The die message: This only works on 2.6.25 kernels
I'm sorry, why are you posting this? IVTV is now built into the kernel.
I'm guessing he is posting this because that's how the ivtv howto says it should work; setup your kernel, emerge ivtv. Problem is, ivtv cries for needing the 2.6.25 kernel, where as we'd only want the userland +firmware from portage anyway. No need for kernel modules. I noticed there is an ivtv-utils package. I haven't tried yet but I'm assuming that this does exactly what would be expected. I would say at the very least, that nother if would be added to the ebuild, stating that if the version is greater then <ivtv kernel supplied version> please emerge ivtv-utils. Or just rename ivtv to ivtv-old and rename ivtv-utils to ivtv, though that may be even more confusing.
Hello, I'd suggest you to use the kernel ivtv driver which is supported in kernels >=2.6.22 (http://ivtvdriver.org/index.phpowto:Gentoo#Newer_Kernels_.28.3E.3D2.6.22.29) From what I see, all the ivtv ebuilds are keyworded and in the Changelog of ivtv's ebuilds I found: " We're officially only supporting the in-kernel ivtv module which started with 2.6.22. " Also, since you mentioned ivtv-utils, from what I see ivtv-utils had a similar problem which was fixed in bug #244584. Anyway, please do try the inkernel ivtv driver!
Have you tried the in kernel ivtv driver as suggested in comment #42?
feel free to reopen when you've tried the in-kernel ivtv driver( comment #42 )
