[mythtv-users] Avermedia M179 w/ PVR250

[Woody Sturges]

I'm trying to add a couple Avermedia M179's to an existing backend:

   I have a 500MHz PIII running as a backend server (v12) with a PVR250 on 
RH9 using the ATrpms suggested by Jarod's guide.  This is all working 
fine.  I bought a couple M179's and am to the point where I can get video 
in via SVideo on the new cards, but no sound (cat /dev/video1 > 
test.mpg).  I've tried several ivtv/test_ioctl -v variations, to no avail.

   I've read that I need to upgrade ivtv via CVS plus a patch in order to 
get audio working.  I download the latest ivtv cvs tarball, extracted it, 
and tried to apply the gpio patch mentioned that supports the M179, but I 
get lots of errors (see below).

   I guess my question is if I'm on the right track with upgrading ivtv, 
and if I am, what I'm doing wrong with the patch?  Is there an easier way 
to get an M179-friendly version of ivtv on my system?  Can I run both the 
PVR250 and M179s?  Will there be an ATrpm version anytime soon?  (I don't 
mind flailing on my own figuring stuff out, but it starts getting old after 
a few days with no results...)

   The good news is that my wife is being very patient with my tinkering 
(as long as I have the system up during agreed-upon timeframes).  <grin>

Thanks in advance for any pointers or suggestions,
Woody
