Ubuntu Multimedia :: Choosing A Graphics Card - Price Vs Performance?
Mar 11, 2011i have an ati radeon x1550 (pretty old, i know) graphics card which worked perfectly under windows 7. i recently read that ati appears to have dropped support for this card installed on recent ubuntu distributions (i'm using ubuntu 10.10 + kde 4.6.1) the thing is, when i'm watching something on videos or playing a movie through vlc, the image looks jittery (random horizontal lines that break the image, it's pretty subtle but it's there...) i'm new to ubuntu (switched from windows 7 a couple of months ago) and what i'm looking for is one of two:
-either a solution to my drivers problem so i can use this card with full 2d and 3d support (like i used to in windows) or, a recommendation of which graphic card i should switch to (my motherboard has a 'pci express x16' slot). i've searched countless forums and sites but i can't reach a final conclusion: am i supposed to have good 2d and 3d acceleration with this card (with the right drivers installed)?
if the answer is 'no', then i'd like to know what i should buy. for what i've read, apparently i should stay away from ati and intel and look for nvidia. i'm not a gamer so i really don't need an incredible 3d acceleration (although some would be nice, just in case) what i really need is for my system to be snappy (i work with my computer) and most of all good support for multimedia apps (i would like to be able to use xbmc smoothly for instance) i'd like to know which is the cheapest graphics card that i can get that will meet my needs (the ones i just listed above)

Ubuntu Multimedia :: TV Tuner Not Working In 9.10 But Is Recognised
Mar 29, 2010Ubuntu version: Karmic Koala (ubuntu 9.10)I've been fiddling arround quite some time with this card. So far i established the following:
1. Card is supported by drivers already available in kernel (v4l, v4l(2)).
2. Card is recognised by Skype as well as by gstreamer. However gstreamer gives me mostly greeen screen when i test it. no propper picture. both found it on video1 (video0 is webcam).
3. I know it is supposed to work well in Linux URL...instructions are for fedora here.
4. there are quite a few tutorial for this card online (even ubuntu), however they are for older version and most of them consist of getting new drivers installed (which are already included with Karmic).
TV Time - blank screen - it is trying to get video from video0 device, which is webcam. i can not set it to use video1 instead as when i click in the menu to change input nothing happens.VLC player - i select use device and set it to V4l or PVR. in both cases the programme itself switches to video0 and turns on my webcam. Nothing else happens. I also installed iv-tv including all necessary libraries and dependancies - as suggested as solution to similar model of card. Didn't change anyhting. it's basically the only thing that is not working yet (most other things i already solved-sort of). I am also interested why the programmes keep switching automaticly to video0 for input when i clearly state to them to use video1?!If this can not be solved can anyone suggest another cheap TV tunner that "just works" in Ubuntu (including remote control)?! I have a big monitor and i think i could use it as TV instead of getting a new TV....
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Get Ati TV Wonder 650 Tv Tuner Work On Karmic
Apr 3, 2010Does anyone know of any way to get this thing to work on Karmic? Just to be able to watch TV, not even to record? I can't seem to get it to recognize it. lsusb just shows:
Code: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0438:b003 Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. but it doesn't show up in dev/video0 or anything like that, and I don't know of a program which will play it. I don't really have the money to go out and buy another tv tuner, so I really would like to get this one to work, or else I'm going to have to switch to windows

Nov 6, 2010I have a Compro Videomate M1F TV tuner card (internal PCI). After installing ubuntu 10.10 I noticed my card was not recognized and tvtime showed no image no sound. After a Google search, I found differente threads and I tried the following: I've created saa1734.conf in directory /etc/modprobe.d (with administrative rights) with these lines:

options saa7134 card=99 tuner=59 secam=dk
options tuner secam=d
After that, I rebooted the computer and after starting tvtime, I can see all the tv channels (great) but I have No SOUND and I don't know how to deal with that and couldn't find a solution.I know there is a problem with OSS not being supported anymore or something like that and I am a bit confused.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Setup Tv Tuner Card With Vlc?
Sep 1, 2011I have a sabrent tv tuner card (tv-pcirc). I want to use it in vlc but don't know how to change from the composite source to the tuner source and from there don't know how to change channels (is there a program that generates channels.conf for analog channels?) It would also like to know how to record a certain channel for a certain period via the telnet interface. Another thing I would like to know is how to set up the remote with it, because the audio is very soft and I would like to raise the voume.
My card is using card=42 tuner=43.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Tv Tuner Won't Work After Unplugging And Replugging?
Oct 22, 2010After much effort I got mythtv to work on my HP TouchSmart. Then I decided to install it on my laptop before I forgot all the troubleshooting tricks.So I unplugged my Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 850 from the TouchSmart and plugged it in the laptop. I was successful getting mythtv running on the laptop so I returned the tv tuner to the TouchSmart.Much to my dismay, mythtv no longer worked on the TouchSmart. I moved the tuner to the laptop again to see if mythtv worked. It didn't. Apparently, the act of unplugging the tuner and plugging it back in broke something.
For usb hard drives and cameras, an icon appears on the desktop that allows me to right click and choose to safely remove the device. I had no idea that unplugging a usb device without such an icon would cause any problems.Initially, the problem seemed to be with mythtv as I was able to successfully execute the following commands:
Code:
scan -x0 /usr/share/dvb/atsc/us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB
mplayer dvb://WTVF-HD

Ubuntu Multimedia :: How To Configure INTEX TV Tuner Card
Dec 24, 2010I have INTEX TV tuner card. i'm trying to configure in ubuntu for tvtime. The card has the saa7130 or saa7134 philipse chipset.
lspci | grep -i saa713
output:
Code:

after the installation, the card was detected and /dev/video0 was created but dmesg indicated that the card is not among the ones listed as supported and since card did not have EEPROM, the card was not up and running right away.i have edited /etc/modprobe.d/tvcard.conf and added options saa7134 card=3 tuner=14
Code:
$sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/tvcard.conf
added:
Code:
options saa7134 card=3 tuner=14
Then CTRL+X to exit
still it did not work. tvtime would always say no signal and tvtime-scanner never picked up any channels. then i followed instruction given by rsramkee [URL]. edited saa7134-cards.c and deployed new kernel linux-2.6.36.2 with changes.i rebooted machine to windows selected one channel in tv tuner software of windows, again rebooted machine to ubuntu (i have dual boot windows XP and ubuntu 2.6.35.23). tvtime able display video of channel that is selected in windows OS (No sound), but not be able to tune any other stations.In mplayer able display video of channel that is selected in windows OS with sound.
command:
Code:
mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:chanlist=us-cable:alsa:adevice=hw.0,1:amode=1:audiorate=48000:forceaudio:volume=100:immediatemode=0:norm=PAL
i followed instruction given by http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Saa7134-alsa to set up sound. loading the loopback module with the command:
$ pactl load-module module-loopback
Now tvtime able display video of channel that is selected in windows OS with sound, but not be able to tune any other stations. Not be able to tune any stations.dmesg output:

The thing is that the remote works, in fact some buttons are recognized properly... but some are not. I'm not using lirc!, from I have been reading there is support for generic remotes in the 2.6.31 kernel, besides, i can't configure lirc, it doesn't let me load the kernel modules to start up the daemon for the ir. is there a config file for the button mapping of the native remote support in kernel 2.6.31?.
