audio from vlc using /dev/video32, hw:2,0 (sound card), and input 1. No
problems there.
But mythtv-setup seems to break it entirely. Whether I set the card up as
an MPEG or a V4L card, when I put in /dev/video32 as the device, the card
and the cx18 driver are recognized . I'm using my Directv lineup as the
channel source and setting up the S-video-1 connection. Everything
recognized and looking good.
Now if I start the frontend and Watch TV, I get nothing. This also has the
unfortunate side effect of making the card inaccessible from vlc as well,
at least until a reboot reloads the cx18 driver.
Is there some arcane secret to this card? It seemed like it ought to be a
drop-in replacement for the PVR-250, but I've been having a devil of a time
with it.
Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas.
There is nothing particularly helpful to my eyes in the log output, just
that there are errors. Here is the relevant part from mythbackend:
