[mythtv-users] Advice Needed for Gentoo

[orv]

You need to add the BTTV module using the kernel config gui (make
menuconfig). The thing is, BTTV only appears in the list when other options
are enabled in the kernel.

It appears under

Multimedia devices  --->
    Video For Linux --->
       <M> BT848 Video For Linux


You need to enable "I2C support" and "I2C bit-banging interfaces" in the
"Character Devices --->" menu first.

Hope that helps.

Hi,
 
I've got a Gentoo box running with bttv (Avermedia tv studio) and it works
fine (mostly). I used gaming-sources, I figured it couldn't hurt video
playback and it is a dedicated myth box. It's been a while since I did the
install, but I don't remember any major problems. If you try the
gaming-sources and still have problems I'll try to help if I can.

	? 

	All,

	Given Redhat's announcement of killing off its personal line, I have
decided to look for a nother distro.  Since my current project in MythTV, I
have decided to build Myth on Gentoo.  While I like that Gentoo doesn't have
much extra in it other than what you explicitly install, I am having
problems with bttv.

	According to multiple references on the web, the kernel modules for
bttv should be in the gentoo-sources kernel.  V4L does not contain a bttv
option.  When I download 0.9.1.1 from bytesex.org and compile it, I received
unresolved symbol errors.

	I would appreciate hearing from any of you that have Myth running on
Gentoo especially if you are using the bttv module.  What source are you
using.  Have you done anything odd to get myth to work?

	TIA,

	William
