Hello all,
I have a Pinnacle PCTV Pro card (EMPTYV), NTSC version. Card has
51013170-1.4A on it, with Fusion 878A, an HCF4052i and a TDS988STS chip
on it. I would add the dmesg output, but I don't seem to have accesst o
my box at home. I have a remote and serial receiver also. I do not
have any software, and apparently this Card requires an internal Audio
card patch cable, which I do not have. I think it might be a CD-RM
type patch cable, but not 100% sure. I bought this used, w/o the
missing pieces, and I don't have the time to do anything with it.
The card seems to capture Video ok, but when I used it bare, it didn't
capture any sound. I'm not sure if it's a driver issue, if I need the
internal audio cable, or what.
So, If anyone knows anything about this card, or needs one to do
further driver development/expirements, contact me.
LMK.
Mark Paulus.

WW!!!

This card is so bad that I can't even give it away?!?!?!?

No, it is not really a bad card. Probably, for it to output audio, an
audio cable (the same used on old CD-RMs) is required. This is a very
cheap and easy to find cable. Most bt8xx devices don't provide digital
audio.

I'm not sure about this specific model, but a few Pinnacle boards also
support digital audio, using an ALSA (snd-bt87x) or SS module
(btaudio).

If you don't have interest on this board, for sure you can send it to
us. We always need newer board types to test improvements and changes at
main drivers.

For example, right now, I'm working on redesigning bttv driver, removing
all V4L1 stuff from it. This means several changes at audio processor
drivers. Having other boards with different chipsets would help testing.

You may also help the project by testing our code on your board. The
experimental new bttv driver, without V4L1 code, is available at:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mchehab/bttv

Cheers,
Mauro.

Mauro,

I finally have a bit of time, and I have put this card into a "spare"
machine I can work with. So

Machine is running Debian Sarge w/ a 2.6.16 kernel from sarge-backports.
Box has a PVR-150; an Air2PC ATSC card, and this Pinnacle Pro TV card

I grabbed your experimental new bttv driver, put it into a directory:
/usr/src/bttv/bttv. ran 'make' & 'make install', and all seemed to go
good. (attaching build results).

When booting, or trying to 'modprobe bttv' however, I get a bunch of

Quite simple: you have a previous version of videodev loaded when you
tried to insert bttv. You may solve this by:

make rmmod (it will do rmmod for all newly created modules)

if you want to make sure you don't have any obsoleted modules on your
kernel installation, you may also do:

make rminstall
make install

Thanks.

Cheers,
Mauro.

Well, that fixed a couple of things, but some things are still broke
(namely, now I get the disagrees/unknown symbol problems with ivtv 0.6.3
driver for my PVR-150. I've attached dmesg output.

I will play around with some tools with this new driver, and then I will
probably have a question on what do I need to define in Mythtv-0.19 in
order to get the card recognized with new driver module.

Another couple of questions. Are there any kind of testing/diagnostic
tools available for these v4l2 devices? I have ivtvctl for my ivtv
devices, and I have scan/dvbsnoop/azap for my air2pc ATSC card. What do
I have that is analogous in v4l2 land? v4lctl complains about no
/dev/dvi devices.

Is there supposed to be sound with your new driver? I just ran v4l-info
and saw this:
audio
ioctl VIDICGAUDI: Invalid argument
and I don't see any /dev/dsp* devices.

That should be yet again enough for one night.

You need to recompile ivtv. The easiest way for doing:

make ivtv
make
make install

Mythtv does support analog boards (although I've no luck making it
working here). I use instead tvtime or xawtv.

There are some nice tools at v4l2-apps/ dir (a variant of itvtctl,
called v4l2-ctl). v4l-ctl should work fine also.

Can you post your dmesg after you modprobe bttv? It will depend on your
exact device model.

Mauro.

You need to recompile ivtv. The easiest way for doing:

make ivtv

Explain this please? I understand the two following statements, but
this one is cryptic to me.

make
make install

I just tried these 2 in my ivtv0.6.3 source tree, and I am still getting
Unknown/disagree errors. So, something isn't happy somewhere

Mythtv does support analog boards (although I've no luck making it
working here). I use instead tvtime or xawtv.

Mythtv was recognizing the card, and was doing video. The problem is
(the thing that started this whole mess) getting "integrated" audio out
and then telling Mythtv where to go look for it. having a different
driver type for Mythtv that doesn't prompt for an Audio Device
(something similar to a Hauppauge PVR-150/250/350/500 perhaps).

You need to recompile ivtv. The easiest way for doing:

make ivtv

Explain this please?
make help will explain it ;)

ivtv - enable merged ivtv build, using the latest ivtv sources
from ivtvdriver.org (requires subversion)

It will basically use svn to download ivtv and proper link it into hg
tree.

Mythtv does support analog boards (although I've no luck making it
working here). I use instead tvtime or xawtv.

Mythtv was recognizing the card, and was doing video. The problem is
(the thing that started this whole mess) getting "integrated" audio out
and then telling Mythtv where to go look for it. having a different
driver type for Mythtv that doesn't prompt for an Audio Device
(something similar to a Hauppauge PVR-150/250/350/500 perhaps).
Mythtv never worked for me. I had to confess that I'm a bit lazy with
userspace apps - anything that took me more than 5 min to install, it is
poorly documented and have some weird dependencies is something I'm not
like to use ;)

So I can't help on this issue.

There are some nice tools at v4l2-apps/ dir (a variant of itvtctl,
called v4l2-ctl). v4l-ctl should work fine also.

Can you post your dmesg after you modprobe bttv? It will depend on your
exact device model.
ivtv: disagrees about version of symbol video_unregister_device
ivtv: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
Those messages just shows that you've compiled ivtv with older v4l core
stuff. It will work only after you do "make ivtv".

, did that, and guess what?

Still having problems

First off, I am using a 2.6.16-2-k7 Debianized kernel, provided by
www.backports.org. That all has been working fine.

When I do
make ivtv
make

I get a failure: Can't determine how to make prerequisite ivtv-reset.s
required by ivtv-reset.o.

, go in and fix Makefile.ivtv and remove ivtv-reset.o, since it no
longer seems to be in the trunk for ivtv.
Now when I build, I get:
/ In function `ivtv_v4l2_ioctls':
/ error: structure has no member
named `type'
/ error: structure has no member
named `type'
make[3]: [/] Error 1

I also thought maybe I was having some troubles, since I'm using a
2.6.16 kernel, which means that I should be using a 0.6 ivtv driver.
So, I update v4l/Makefile to pull from
svn co ivtv;
However, that seems to have other conflicts with your driver stuff:
/ In function
`ivtv_set_audio_for_msp34xx':
/ error: storage size of `mspm'
isn't known
/ error: `MSP_SET_MATRIX'
undeclared (first use in this function)
/ error: (Each undeclared
identifier is reported only once
/ error: for each function it
appears in.)

/ warning: unused variable `mspm'
/ In function `ivtv_audio_set_matrix':
/ error: `MSP_SET_MATRIX'
undeclared (first use in this function)
make[2]: [/] Error 1

Any other advice?
