[mythtv] Fwd: Re: [ivtv-devel] Stupid question

[Achint Sandhu]

Hi Isaac,

	Included below is the capture of the output from mythfrontend.

---
bash-2.05b# mythfrontend
connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543
Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
Input #0, mpeg, from 'rbuf://127.0.0.1:6543/mnt/store//ringbuf1.nuv':
  Stream #0.0: Video: mpegvideo, 480x480, 29.97 fps, 16000 kb/s
    Stream #0.1: Audio: mp2, 48000 Hz, stereo, 384 kb/s
    Opening OSS audio device '/dev/dsp'.
    Over/underscanning. V: 0.000000, H: 0.000000, XOff: 0, YOff: 0
    Using XV port 56

	I did notice that it says "OSS audio device"... I'm using ALSA. Is this an 
issue ????

	Also it's probably time to move the discussion over to myth-devel, so I am 
cc'ing that list and will continue the rest of this on that list. The 
original email is included at the bottom for context.

	Thanks to Kevin and Isaac for responding...

Cheers,
Achint

Hi Isaac,

	For the frontend, the output for the audio device is set to /dev/dsp

	For the backend, the audio device on the "Capture Card" configuration screen
is set to (None)....

	I'll grab the output from the frontend and as soon as I get home and post it
to the myth list....

	Thanks

Cheers,
Achint

Hi,

        I've installed a PVR-250 card into an ASUS pundit. I downloaded the 
latest 
driver files and got everything running.

        I'd like to thank the developpers since this part was relatively 
painless...

        Capturing video and audio using cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg works 
great....

        I did run into some issues with setting up MythTV. Basically it does 
not 
produce any audio and after running the mythbackend and killing it, I can no 
longer use the cat /dev/video0 trick to record audio.

        Using test_ioctl -a before and after mythbackend, does not indicate 
any 
differences.... 

Questions:
(1) Is there any way to capture the card state other than test_ioctl -a ?
(2) When I run lspci -v, I see

when according to the Myth FAQ I am supposed to see:

        Is the fact that I don't see " iTVC15 MPEG-2" an issue ? Do I need to 
swap 
the PCI slots ??? The weird part is that it works fine before I launch 
mythbackend.

        Thanks in advance

        Incase it's relavant, the machine is an ASUS pundit with a 2.4ghz CPU 
and 
1gig of RAM, running gentoo (2.4.20-gentoo-r5). I've checked on v4l2 support 
and the patches listed in the readme files and the kernel is patched.

Cheers,
Achint
