Subject: [gentoo-user] OT - MythTV problems
Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2006 10:35:38 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1158334538.11680.7.camel@bullet.espersunited.com> (raw)

This morning I discovered my MythTV wasn't working.  I tracked the
problem down to ivtv.  I was using ivtv-0.4.5 with
kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r1.  I remerged ivtv-0.4.5 and remodprobed ivtv,
but it still didn't work (something about bad module format.)  Anyway, I
built a 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 kernel and installed ivtv-0.7.0 and rebooted
with the new kernel.  ivtv will modprobe now, but I'm still having the
same problems with myth.  Here's the output:

Here's kernel and ivtv info:

camille ~ # emerge -pv ivtv

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

I cat /dev/video0 > temp.mpg and watched it, but there wasn't anything
there.  What I mean is, although there was a black background in
gmplayer, I didn't see any TV programming.  Can anyone help with this?
