Hi ....
Is there an echo in here?
Beyond Darren;s suggetions, there does seem to be much happinging here,
so I'll update my self with the hope it helps soomeone in the future.
OK - I am able to lock on to the feed via azap, as per my note below.
Now I can actually see video via mplayer;
mplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 -cache 8192 -framedrop -nosound -vo x11
But I can't get myth to see, or scan via, the card. Part of what is
confusing is all the different device names and the modprobe command
contridictions.
i.e. remove foo; modprobe -r foo --ignore-remove foo
That would translate to remove, and remove, but don't ???? I realize
that's an entirely different debate...
dmesg reports video0, vbi using v4l.
azap reports using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and
'/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
myth doesn't seem to be able to use any of them or any variation of them.
What card type and device should I be using in Myth? I think I've tried
every variation possible, to no avail.
The Wiki for this card is not really helpful. It basically say install
the latest v4l, but nothing about how to config it in Myth.
Somebody throw me a bone?
Cheers;
E!
