Well I used to have windows but it kept crashing and I don't have a lot of supplies for reformatting computers so i went to my super smart friends house (he has everything) and he put Ubuntu on my computer he set it up bbbuuuuutttt he spelled my name wrong I'm not super savvy with computers that aren't windows I've only had windows up to now and the change is kind good but slightly bad I can't find a capture card software but besides that I can't figure out how to change my name on this computer it's something small yes but it's also something that will bother me FOREVER
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?
Recently I had to replace my Hauppauge HVR-1600 (it was doing everything I wanted it to do but after a few years burned out) and decided to get the HVR-2250. Before purchasing I checked the forums and noticed that there was quite a bit of support and most everyone managed to get it working so I thought it would be a good idea.
The problem I have now is that, though lspci shows the card as Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors Device 7164 (rev 81); however, when trying to setup mythtv-backend, the card does not show up under the "capture card" section. After a few hours of research, I came across this thread and it seemed to be general consensus that the method worked so I tried it. Still no luck.I ended up formatting, fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 and then installed MythTV and still nothing. Not really sure where to go from here.
I have a capture tv card in my pc, but i can't configure it. It's a TV Tuner PRO ENLTV-FM Encore Electronics. I have all the System Requeriments and I've downloaded a program called MeTv to use it, but it's not working. The message that i have of this program is:
Code: There are no DVB Tuner Devices I've read on the net that I have to alter something in the kernel called bttv with the
my TV capture card wont even get recognizedit my Windows machine it works finebut here in Ubuntu 9.10 it does nothingit i an older WinTv 150 non-PVRit has the 878 chipset
I've no idea what the heck is going on with my TV capture card, i went to the other posts about my Hauppauge Inc. HDPVR-1250 model 1196 but it all didn't work i have the ubuntu-restricted extras installed but mythtv is not picking up the card. i'm running ubuntu karmic.
I have been trying to put together a mythbox for myself. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 and the newest version of the Mythbox backend. My capture card that I am having issues with is a Hauppauge Wintv-HVR-1850 card, I followed the instructions on installation from linuxtv.org and did not get any errors. I tried to set up Mythtv and it didn't get a signal and couldn't find any channels. I would like to know if my card is even working so I tried using xawtv but still could not get a signal from my card.
how I can verify that my card is installed correctly?
i am looking for recommendations for a usb video capture card. i basically want to take co-ax input coming from a cable digital converter box and save the content (mpeg, avi, mkv, ...).
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 previously had my bt878 capture card setup with Ubuntu 10.04 and it worked fine with Zoneminder. However, after having done a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04, the card causes Ubuntu to freeze whenever I attempt to view the image in a viewing program (happens in tvtime, Cheese and Zoneminder)I have added bttv and bt878 into /etc/modprobe.d/options like before, and have also added options bttv card=77 tuner=-1 into bttv.conf in the same directory (had to create bttv.conf)The freeze causes the whole computer to lock up, and nothing on the keyboard or mouse is responsive, and involes having to do a hard restart.The only difference I can see from before, is that I have installed all of the latest updates with Update Manager, so maybe a new update is causing these problems?Output of dmesg � grep bttv
Code: [ 18.149815] bttv: driver version 0.9.18 loaded [ 18.149826] bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture
I'm running VideoLan (VLC) under Ubuntu 9.1 (Karmic) (64-bit) with a Haupaugge-150 card. Right now when I want to get the TV feed in through the coax, I first have to run "ivtv-tune -c3" to set the channel for cable.
I've tried adding a line to the vlc.config but no joy. Googling found an answer for Fedora but it doesn't match the files I'm seeing in those directories for Ubuntu.
What I'd like would to have ivtv set the channel automatically at boot or start-up.
Does anyone know an Ubuntu 10.10 compatible video capture card that has composite connections for video and audio (yellow, red and white)? It must be external and do its own processing so it doesn't use the computer's own CPU. I intend to capture a live stream and have the Ubuntu PC serve it to other computers. I may use VLC or MythTV. I have looked on various related sites but finding a compatible USB one which does its own decoding is hard to find.
We have a webcam that is connected to a tv tuner card via the rca input on the tuner card. I want to set that up so that i can view it remotely over the internet. I've seen you can use vlc to do this, but the problem is that I don't want to have the webcam's computer recording and streaming all the time. I want it to only do that when i want to view it from my remote computer. We don't view the camera at a regular time, so a set schedule wouldn't work.
I hope this all makes sense. Is this possible, and if so, what is recommended for getting this done.I'm hoping i can somehow control this with a remote control and we'd see it on our tv monitor (that'd make it easy for the non-computer people here), so if it could be done in a script that would be great cause i can have the remote run the script.
I am new here and I have tried checking similar threads as well as other sources in the net but could not get my card working. I use Debian squeeze on a P4 2.4MHz machine with 2 GB ram. lspci can detect all 8 chips but could not load the proper module since it could not identify the vendor. I have tried unloading the SAA7134 module and reloading repeatedly all possible cards from 1 to 174 by "modprobe -i SAA7134 card=#,#,#,#,#,#,#,# #-numbers 1 to 174 one a a time.
I look and look and it doesn't tell its name and whom made it so one can go there and install it on Firefox or whatever.
Have tested many of the addons for FF but none is as good as the one in Debian Elive 2.0 the unstable Elive don't have it. Ubuntu doesn't either.
Searched Debian and Elive sites and used google but fail to find it.
Could it be Shutter program that doesn't advertise itself?
Shutter is supposed to be a good screen grabber.
This screen grabber is activated by pushing the PrtScr button and not by clicking a symbol as the others are. So maybe it is built into Elive itself but not mentioned anywhere?
Trying to find a good solution to start flirting with open source i have come across ubuntu. Searched a lot in the web and found that the latest yet easiest to noobs is 10.10.3 days have passed since i have started trying ti set it up i have come across A LOT of problems due to my noobity. 1st of all yet solved in the way was an issue with my gfx card.I have the GT X 285 and every time i log in to my os i have ti resize the desktop cuz it never stays as it should. 2nd and most serious , i cant find a way to set up my sound card.

Ubuntu 9.04 running on a Dell C640 with a Dell TrueMobile 1150 wireless card. Works perfectly under XP. Ubuntu can't find it. Wired networking finds the internet perfectly (though I'm still working on getting samba set up correctly for file/print sharing on my XP LAN).
I'm thinking I need a driver, maybe? Can't seem to locate one.

I'm new to Ubuntu. Today, I took my old Compaq Presario V3010US and gave it life with Ubuntu 10.04. The hard drive was erased and replaced with the Linux OS stuff. Ubuntu recognizes most of the hardware except my Broadcom wireless card. I find this to be a pain because i'm a newbie to linux stuff. Anyway, can anyone help me fix this? I thank you for your time reading this.
