[mythtv-users] RE: Yet Another PVR-350 tvout question :)

[Steven Rubano]

The only thing I can think of right now that would cause this is that you
did not enable the "Use PVR350 TV out" option in Mythtv. I believe you will
find it in Settings -> TV -> Playback and go through the menus and you'll
see it there.

ok, i'm almost there.. i hope someone that was in a similar spot can 

help me..

 

I followed this guide http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=TvOutHowto

 

(dd if=/dev/video of=/dev/video16 bs=64k) works great if i issue the 

(ivtvfbctl /dev/fb1 -noglobalalpha -localalpha) command first.. tv plays 

for hours like this.. looks and sounds wonderfull

 

so i setup X on the frame buffer.. took a bit but i also got this 

working as well.. so i make the big test and click watch live tv in 

myth... i can hear it.. but the picture is now black..

 

now here is where it gets weird... if i issue the (ivtvfbctl /dev/fb1 

-noglobalalpha -localalpha) command and go back into X.. its all messed 

up.. meaning its a little scrambled and i can hardly read the text.. but 

if i hit "enter enter" on my remote.. i can then view TV properly

 

i've tried diffrent FB drivers and diffrent IVTV drivers.. all seem to 

do the same thing... am i missing something here.. my modules.conf 

matchs the howto and everything loads properly.. i also have "use pvr 

hardware" checked in myth.. it seems myth needs to issue the alpha 

commands before watching tv and it isnt?

 

someone please help i got a taste of the quality on the tvout and i want 

it badly :)

 

thx
