How do you use "ptune.pl" to change channels with the IVTV TV Card driver? When I run it I get:

You need to install the perl module I show below and you may want to think about installing apt-file so you can search for these problems when they occur.
No you would apt-get install libvideo-capture-v4l-perl which will install the package that contains the needed file then it will be available when you run your command for the ptune.pl.

And you really should install apt-file and do the searching yourself. After installing the package run apt-file update as root then use the search as either root or normal user to find the package(s) that contain the file you are getting the error from.

How do I check that with apt-file so I can do the rest myself? I've never used it. Thanks.
Update: I figured it out, thanks for telling me about it, it'll probably help me alot in the future. I'm going to try to use it now, I'll probably be posting again
Originally posted by WolfCub Ok, how do you use it? Can you give me an example for oh, say, channel 50? And can I change channels while viewing TV? Thanks!
Well for the ptune I am not sure have you checked the Docs that should have cone with the ivtv package? For using xawtv or similar programs there is usually an option in the menus to change the channel.
I got ptune.pl to change channels. However, ptune-ui gives this error:
debian:~/ivtv-0.2.0-rc3j/utils# ./ptune-ui.pl
Video::Frequencies version 0.03 required--this is only version 0.01 at ./ptune-ui.pl line 9.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./ptune-ui.pl line 9.
debian:~/ivtv-0.2.0-rc3j/utils#
.ivtvrc doesn't contain much information about channels, could you paste your config on here for me to make mine like it, maybe I'm just missing some data.

Please help.
I'm not sure about that one the libvideo-capture-v4l-perl that you have installed is at the newest version according to the CPAN site. Perhaps you can check the ivtv site where you got it to see where they are getting it from.

I do not use the ivtv for my card but usually the .file is just a simple config file so if in this case you are trying to figure out the channels simply duplicate an existing entry and change the title and channel number for a new entry. If you were to post yours and tell me what you need to do I can try to figure it out.
Ok I managed to set up the driver and now with ptune i can change to any channel. However, KDETV locks up when I try to run the Channel Configuration Wizard and when I try to choose my video device, its using my NVidia video card and of course it should be using the PVR 350. Any experience with KDETV? Do you know if they have a forum or IRC channel?
