Hardware :: Getting Card Working With Mythtv?
Mar 18, 2010
OS of this system: Ubuntu 9.10 Server
Okay so i have a Hauppage card, not sure exactly which one, under lspci it is:
Quote:
02:01.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11)
02:01.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)
lsmod lists:
Quote:
tvaudio 25884 0
snd_intel8x0 30168 0
tda7432 5016 0
snd_ac97_codec 101216 1 snd_intel8x0
code...
How do I go about getting this working? --I'm trying to make sure the card works before I mess with myth-setup anymore.
Note: in MythTV I don't get the "Scan Channels" option, so I'm not sure what to do there.Note: Cable source is my college campus cable.

I'm running ubuntu 9.10 wit mythtv. My dvb card is a haupauge pvr 1250. When I run the backend, this is the output.

I have an old Fisher VHS player with the old 'antenna' connection [one wire] to the TV. It does still work. I connect this to an old Hauppauge 250 pvr card in a box running Ubuntu 10-10.
I want to be able to put old tapes on my disk drive.
Working mainly with MythTv, I can not get it to work. The hardware seems to be working as I have options for tuner1 and other inputs. As channel 4 is no longer 'broadcast' I can't scan for it even with the VCR running.
Would someone please hold my hand an provide the necessary steps to get MythTv working or an alternative.
I have read the five similar threads and numerous other google hits but can't find what I need. Part of my problem is I am also new to Ubuntu and jumping in an out of terminal sessions is no where near what I grew up with in Slackware.

I'm trying to setup Mythbuntu on a computer connected to a TV. I have bought an USB DVB-T Receiver, named WandTV. According to LinuxTV; WandTV, aka Shenzhen Forward Video EzTV859, is supported in the Linux kernel.
When I try to setup the mythTV backend I'm being asked of what card type I have. I guess the answer to that is "DVB DTV capture card (v3.x)", but no matter what I choose, it can't find any devices.
I'm pretty sure /dev/hidraw0 is the receiver, can I use that to setup the backend?

What kind of tuner I need. do I pick up ntsc, atsc, or something else? My cable comes from the wall to the tv, there is no box receiver.
I have had real bad luck with the acermedia duet and the hauppage hvr-1250. Aperently, the aver duet has 0 support and I can't get the hvr-1250 to work. I'm running mythbuntu 10.04. I can't even get avi's I downloaded to play in mythtv.

I had an Ubuntu Server 32 bit installation and everything was working fine. Now that I installed Ubuntu Server 64bit on a new drive in the same machine, the ethernet card is not working!! This is insane cause when I put the hard disk with the 32bit installation back and booting from it, the ethernet card is working without any problems but in the 64bits installation it is not shown at all using "ifconfig -a"
lspci output:
Quote:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8151 v1.0 Gigabit Ethernet (rev c0)
How can I check which module is being loaded in the 32bits installation to try to load it manually in the 64 bits installation?

Is anybody running MythTV on Sid, or squeeze or lenny for that matter? I ask because I am trying to set MythTV up on a fresh debian install. I had (and can put back) KnoppMyth, but it's getting a bit long in the tooth (I've got R5F27, from 2007). That said I know that my hardware works, I'm just having trouble getting said hardware to work on this fresh install.
I've tryed following this Howto: Installing MythTV on Debian Etch - MythTV which did not work for a lenny install. I wound up with an PnUP error I coudl not sort out. I then installed sid, and followed this Howto: Installing MythTV SVN on Debian Sid - MythTV which failed too. I was unable to get past installing the ivtv drivers, as per this Howto: Howto:Debian - IVTV, the building and installing the modules part. Some errorin the source files I could not sort out. I then I tryed a combination of the two, which is where I'm at right now.
I did a fresh netinstall, upgraded to sid. Installed mysql, nVIDIA drivers and ivtv drivers & firmware from the sid repos. Next I installed MythTV from the debian-multimedia sid repos. Configured the mythbackend, filled the database, and configured the mythfrontend. alas, I can not get any TV out put. I'm pretty sure it's my Hauppauge PVR-150 TV Tuner card that is the issue, but I'm at wits end in trying to sort it out.

I have a dual-boot PC (Windows 7 and Ubuntu w/current updates) with a USB hub PCI card. The card works fine in Windows, but is completely dead in Ubuntu, there is not even any power at the card's ports. How do I get Ubuntu to activate the card?

I have a fedora13 version that upgraded mythtv to 0.23. Since that time, I've had sound problems. Mostly the sound has stopped working completely, but works with all other applications. Every once in a while the sound will work.
My sound device is ALSA:default and I have experimentally allow pulseaudio in my environment. This worked fine before the mythtv upgrade. I tried using the pulseaudio device in mythtv, but it works really poorly (lots of loud static).

I have about a dozen computers in my house. They range from a web server to a file server to desktops and laptops to a Nokia N810. All run Linux except one -- my SageTV system.
A while back I began to install MythTV in the form of Mythbuntu. I didn't get far. I didn't want to invest the time to deal with all the installation issues that came up. But that nagging desire to get rid of my last MS Windows box persists.
After my recent great experience installing openSUSE on my Thinkpad, I feel renewed interest in looking for a Linux PVR solution again. My openSUSE experience on my Thinkpad is just blowing my mind. It is so polished. The installer was so good!
Can I possibly find a Linux PVR solution that will install as nicely as openSUSE did on my Thinkpad T61p? Or have my expectations been set too high now?

After overcomming a lot of difficulties, my MythTV (Via Epia 10000EG with Hauppauge PVR 500 card) worked with Mythbuntu 9.04. Last year it crashed and I had no time to spare to rebuild it.
Last couple of weeks I had more time and downloaded and tried to install Mythbuntu 10.10. Everything seems to be installed ok, but I get no picture in MythTV when I select "Watch TV" and no picture when I try to record something. When watching TV, the message "Please wait" appears for appr. 5 secs and then the system returns to the menu.
I installed Mythbuntu 10.10 and am using the provided IVTV drivers.
Dmesg and lspci give no errors, every seems to be in order, IVTV drivers are loaded, initialized and errorfree. Cat /dev/video0 gives me static in MPLAYER. The MythTV backendlog doesn't even give a message, the frontend log just says there is no picture...
There seems to be an error between the back and frontend. I checked the settings in capturecards, TV sources, channel edits, etc,etc, but I can't find it.

I just installed mythtv 0.23.1 on my slack64 13.1 machine using a Hauppauge DVR-2250 TV tuner card. The install went fine (no errors) but I am facing a few glitches. I setup the program using mythtv-setup.
I added the tv tuner in the program's tuner list and scanned the channels using the scan feature. It found something like 38 channels (OTA). So far so good. When I start the application I go to watch TV and I see a white/black screen with a big "1" saying :Playback starting" and then it goes back to the application's menu. here's the output of mythbackend while I was playing around witht he front end

I have a desktop pc which is running Ubuntu 9.10, and for some apparent reason I am not getting sound from my sound card. No error message is coming from o/s, I have checked the sound card with head phones, still no sound.Now, I have checked my sound card, because on the same desktop pc, I have another hard drive, which runs Windows XP Professional, and my sound card works perfectly! Please note that I have two hard drives on my pc, one for Ubuntu and the other for XP. So, there is no conflict on operating systems.Does anyone know how I can resolve my sound problem - my sound card is a Creative Audigy 2 Sound Blaster.

I have had problems with my TV card working in 9.10 and 10.04. A fix was suggested to go back to a working kernel. In my case it was in 9.04. Could you give us working kernels in synaptic that we could use or test in 9.10 or 10.04? My attempts at installing kernels, or any program for that matter, from any place but synaptic or add/remove programs has usually ended in disaster.

A friend gave me a version if Ubuntu called "Lubuntu" to run on an older laptop of mine. The laptop does not have wifi or an ehternet connection. However, While using windows I was still able to access the internet by using a PCI card which created a wired ethernet connection for the laptop. I was able to install Lubuntu on the laptop, but for some reason it is not recognizing, or even noticing, the PCI card. What should I do to get internet working on this laptop again?

I have my secreensaver just set to black screen after 10min but I had to disable it because the black screen starts up while watching recorded TV & videos on VLC. I don't usually install "gnome" or gnome-desktop-base or whatever it is. I always install "gnome-core" only. Squeeze has the screensaver installed with the gnome-core package by default so I can't leave it out like I usually do as this screensaver issue has been a problem for me since Sarge. So, now that I have to deal with this,

I've been at this for the last hour. I just put a Hauppage WinTV-TVR-1800 into my machine, rebooted and installed MythTV. I set up the card, the video source and the input as well as configured a few random channels. I click WATCH TV in the menu, it goes to a screen saying, "Please Wait....", then it brings me back to the menu. There's no error, is there some sort of log file.
Here it is run in the terminal:

MB: Gigabyte 790XTA-UD4 boards, with internal sound
4Gig Mem, Phenom II CPU, 1 TB HD
HD in: 2 pc5500 TV cards
HD Out: GeForce GT240 out,
I'm getting very frustrated, having dropped a substantial (for me) amount of money trying to get a DVR setup, and Myth TV has punished me every step of the way.At this point, the extreme frustration is that sound *was* working earlier - not going to the TV via HDMI (Which seems like it should be easy but I've yet to get it to work) but I had speakers working - right up to the instant I installed restricted extra's to run mp3's - the instant I got totem to play sound, I completely lost all sound from myth TV, even playing back digital files it has recorded have no sound now.
alsamixer seems to have been used numerous times to fix these issues, but doesn't actually show as a valid package when I check the repository - I installed the gnome version instead, but nothing I do there seems to have any effect.I'm not entirely sure if I need/should be using the patch from the pc5500 cards into the sound card line in - as near as I can tell, that's only for analog signals, and it *was* running happily without it.
As mentioned - sound is fine from everything else, but even playing a recorded file I have no sound playback (Note: I had not recorded anything I can verify *had* sound before). I've gone through various guides, and I got nuthin'. All the actual cards and hardware have every appearance of working.
