I recently upgraded the kernel to 2.6.16 and ivtv to 0.4.2 and cannot get my PVR-350 to work. In dmesg I am getting tuner type not set. All I get is snow when I view the output from the card. It doesn't matter what I try with ivtv-tune.

I have compiled support into the kernel for video 4 linux.

I have the following in /etc/modules.d/ivtv

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv

If I try setting: options tuner type=x I get the following error in dmesg:

tuner: Unknown parameter `type'
ivtv0: Failed to load module tuner

Output from dmesg is:

ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================

It won't work with the current version. For kernel 2.6.16 you need ivtv 0.6.0 which will (hopefully) soon be released.

Thanks phsdv. Looks like I will have to wait then. I can't be bothered reverting to an older kernel.

From the ivtv-devel mailing list:
Hans Verkuil wrote:
I'm glad to announce that I've just released ivtv-0.6.0. This version is
specific for use with the 2.6.16 kernel. It will *not* work with older
kernels and it will *not* work with later kernels. In many way this is
an interim release: we want to get ivtv into the kernel, but many
things have to change in both the kernel and in ivtv before that is
possible. This version, together with the 2.6.16 kernel, represents
perhaps 30% of the work done. My guess is that when ivtv-0.7/2.6.17 is
released some 70% of the work is done. The goal is to get it into the
kernel by 2.6.18.

Those who are using older kernels can expect an ivtv-0.4.4 release next
weekend. That will be a bugfix release only.

Anyway, since www.ivtvdriver.org seems to be unreachable (mass FC5
downloads again from the atrpms.net?) I've made the source archive
available here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~hverkuil/ivtv-0.6.0.tar.gz.

Tomorrow or more likely Thursday I'll update www.ivtvdriver.org with the
proper links.

And finally the ChangeLog is appended below. Five new cards are
supported! Three of them come from the Japanese 'paken' branch that is
now merged into ivtv. A few more cards from that branch need a final
patch to saa7115 and will become available in 2.6.17. Many thanks for
the paken developers and T.Adachi in particular who did a great job
improving the new i2c-drivers. Three of them are also slated for
inclusion into the 2.6.17 kernel (saa717x needs too much work).

Enjoy!

Hans Verkuil


IVTV changes:

0.6 release:
- Add support for the Yuan MPC622 card.
- Add support for the Gotview PCI DVD2 Deluxe card.
- Add support for Nagase Transgear 5000TV
- Add support for AOpen VA2000MAX-STN6
- Add support for Yuan MPG600GR/Kuroutoshikou CX23416GYC-STVLP
- Added support for i2c devices saa717x, wm8739, upd64031a and upd64083.
- Added module options pal, ntsc and secam to be able to specify a
specific standard type (e.g. pal=m to select PAL-M or ntsc=j to select
NTSC_M_JP for Japan).
- tuner, tveeprom, cx25840, saa7115, saa7127, wm8775 and msp3400 are now
moved into the kernel and are no longer provided by ivtv.
- Firmware hotplug support is now REQUIRED.
- Inputs now start counting at 1 instead of 0. As per v4l standard.
- Add ivtv_pci_latency option to suppress setting PCI latency to 64.
Some motherboards can't handle that.
- Card definitions are much improved making it easier to add new cards.
- /dev/vbi devices are now vbi0, vbi8, vbi16 instead of vbi0, vbi4,
vbi8.
- Added ivtv-pcm-tester.c (PCM output level/sample.freq diagnostic tool)
- videodev.h/videodev2.h from the kernel is used. It's no longer
included in ivtv.
- Added ivtvctl GPIO options (read/set GPIO pins). Useful for
discovering GPIO settings of new cards.
- Removed ivtvctl --input-detect option (use --log-status instead).
- Add ivtvctl controls for bass, treble, loudness and balance.
- Improve detection of PVR250/PVR150 models.
- Allow ivtv-tune to be used as an external program in MythTV.

NOTE 2: The names of the inputs have changed to correspond with the
names as are used by the video4linux subsystem. This means that MythTV
users have to setup their inputs again. In particular 'Tuner 0' is now
'Tuner 1'.

This is the video4linux naming convention, so I expect no more changes.
