<pre wrap="">Hello,
i have a new installation with Ubuntu 7.04 (feisty), i am from Belgium
(Bruges), we use PAL.
I also have a Pinnacle PCTV 150e/55e PAL/SEC device.
the ubuntu operating system recognized the device without help from me
with any kind of installation.
I am trying to get mythtv working, or tvtime (tvtime for testing).
Both are not working, both can do a channel scan which says that it
finds channels but no one works (in tvtime i have a green screen with
scambled tv screen on top).
MythTV finds the card, Pinnacle PCTV USB 2 [em28xx].
But when i start the program i get an error in the logging:
root@mtv-desktop:/var/log/mythtv# cat ./mythbackend.log

strange error flushing buffer ... /*==> this is something with the
audio codec, but not important to make it work*/
_*2007-05-15 21:03:28.571 NVR: Can't open video device: /dev/video0
open video:: Device or resource busy*_
root@mtv-desktop:/var/log/mythtv#
so it seems that i have a problem with the device, the device works
perfectly on windows but that's not what i want to do with it.
Could it be a problem with the driver ?
I am new with video on linux, so could you please help me check with
this ?

<pre wrap="">What kind of device did you define this as in mythtv-setup? Generic V4L
or something else?

<pre wrap=""><!---->What about permissions on the /dev/video0 device? Does the user you are
running mythbackend as have enough permissions? Does the /dev/video0
device work for that user using other applications? tvtime, etc.?

it stays the same, checked all permissions and they are all good.<br>
i logged also in as root to test it if it works as root, stays the same.<br>
But in mythtv, i can receive the channel listing, so it's working at
that point.<br>
other applications like tvtime can open the device but the screen is
green and only at the top of the screen there is a scrambled part.<br>
