Description Robert Lippmann 2006-07-30 20:04:44 UTC

Hi,

With 2.6.17 going stable on x86 this week, I'd like to upgrade, but ivtv-0.7 isn't stable.

I supposed I'll try unstable until this is resolved, just don't want to mess up my 2.6.15/0.4 setup.

Thanks.

hmm, upgraded to 2.6.17/0.7/mythtv unstable.  now i know why ivtv is unstable.  deleted the capture card, and re-enabled, not getting anything in mythtv when i watch tv...

Hmm 0.7.0 works fine for me (PVR500), as did 0.6.3. Try compiling your kernel with:

# CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1 is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT is not set
CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2=y

and without VIDEO_SAA711X. See bug 143374.

And if myth gives you trouble, try mplayer /dev/video0. Does that work?

Kept the V4L1 stuff, and just disabled VIDEO_SAA711X, and now my PVR-150 works fine.  Thanks!
