 |
|
i've been trying to get my pvr350 installed so i can use it for mythtv.
I seem to have successfully installed the ivtv drivers. but then when i try to configure the card #ivtvctl -u 0x3000 so that i can get a capture and test the card, i get the error Failed to open /dev/video0: No such device. i looked around and sure enough now /dev/video of any sort.
after messing around for a while and looking all over, i tried #mknod /dev/video0 c 8. This did creat the /dev/video0 that my error said there wasn't, but when i try ivtvctl command again, i get the same error. it's like i basically did nothing.
Been googling like a mofo to no avail. I'm sure its something ridiculously simple, so any help would be gratefully appreciated |

Hello!
1. Did you load the kernel module for ivtv?
2. Did you customize /etc/modules.d/ivtv to your needs?
1.
2.
| Code: | alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1
options tuner type=2 # according to your tuner type 2=PAL, 1=NTSC
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 tuner
|
And take a look here for more information on how to get ivtv to work:

You don't have to create the node /dev/video0 since you're using devfs.
You should also compile video for linux support into your kernel as well
as bttv as module (you don't need to load the module, but it has to be compiled for tuner support).
A great guide for mythtv and ivtv can also be found here:

Good luck!
