[mythtv-users] mythsetup does not allow me to choose the capture card type

[Andrew Kuan]

I'm running Myth 0.18.1 and just switched out an old WinTV-Go for a
PVR-150MCE. In the process, I upgraded to ivtv-0.4.2 (which is a story in
and of itself). Anyway, I fired up mythsetup, said "yes" to deleting the
capture card settings, "no" to deleting the channel settings, and went to
the capture card configuration page. I then tried to add a new card and, for
some bizarre reason, mythsetup is not allowing me to select a card type. In
fact, it's locked as "v4l standard" (or something like that). I ended up
logging into mysql and altering the capturecard.cardtype value to "MPEG" for
both cards. Everything seems to work now.

So can someone explain to me two things: 1) how does mythsetup decide what
to display as possible card types and 2) why am I only getting one card type
to select from -- and the wrong one at that? I can live with manually
tweaking mysql but I still find it unsettling that mythsetup is not letting
set the capture card type.

Thanks in advance.
