make install fails for BBTV... no TV for me :(

jimdaworm · 09-27-2003, 05:11 PM

I am trying to install bbtv I have extracted bttv-0.7.107.tar.gz in my root directory as in the instructions, I do make which seems to go ok and then make install but near the end of the make install I get these errors. In the FAQ that comes with the bttv driver it says that I might need to make some changes to the Makefile but I can´t find the lines it says I need to change

I tried the next part of the instructions I was following modprobe i2c-core i2c_debug=1 but it says that it can't locate module i2c-core.

What do I need to do so I can watch TV?

Can you plese tell me which Tv card are you using?

jimdaworm · 09-28-2003, 06:08 AM

Hey I have card number 78 (Jetway), its exactly the same card but with a different name I actually have a Zaapa Tv Capture card but I went though a whole lot of photos to find an exact match before I could get it to work before (In Red Hat 9.0) but Red Hat has all this stuff already installed

Hey I think that there is support in the kernel??? I have recompiled and but I still am having problems. I don´t know what things i should have included but think somthing must be missing because when I tried modprobe i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1 I get an error

Quote:

Can´t locate module i2c-algo-bit

any ideas?

linksocc · 09-28-2003, 11:41 AM

here I have some simple instructions of how I get my card to work its an ati tv wonder ve but this should work for all the other bttv compatible cards.
First: go to the kernel source directory as root and do this:

Code:

make menuconfig

Socond: go down to Caracter devices, in that seccion go to the subsection I2C support,. In that menu select exactly as this:

Code:

        <M> I2C support                                                  
        <M> I2C bit-banging interfaces                                    
        < >   Philips style parallel port adapter                         
        < >   ELV adapter                                                 
        < >   Velleman K9000 adapter                                      
        < >   Basic I2C on Parallel Port                                  
        < > I2C PCF 8584 interfaces                                       
        <M> I2C device interface                                          
        < > I2C /proc interface (required for hardware sensors)

Third: Exit from that section and go to the Multimedia devices, then select video for linux as module, and move to the video for linux section and it should now have the BT848 Video For linux option select as it looks here:

Code:

    [ ]   V4L information in proc filesystem                              
    < >   I2C on parallel port                                            
    --- Video Adapters                                                    
    <M>   BT848 Video For Linux                                           
    < >   Mediavision Pro Movie Studio Video For Linux                    
    < >   Quickcam BW Video For Linux                                     
    < >   QuickCam Colour Video For Linux (EXPERIMENTAL)                  
    < >   W9966CF Webcam (FlyCam Supra and others) Video For Linux        
    < >   CPiA Video For Linux                                            
    < >   SAA5249 Teletext processor

Fourth: Exit from everything save you configuration and make you new kernel with. then configure your bootloader:

Code:

make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install

when its done doing that copy the new image to /boot with a new name, for a backup

Code:

cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-tv

then just configure lilo.
edit the file /etc/modules.conf and add this

Code:

# Support for i2c and lm_sensors
alias char-major-89    i2c-dev

alias char-major-81 bttv
options bttv card=64 autoload=0 radio=0
post-install bttv insmod tuner type=2

remember to change my card number with your and the card tuner with yours
Fifth: reboot to see if you tv card is working with the new kernel. Open you favorite tv app like Xawtv (tvtime is much better and has more quality) and watch some Cartoons.
Hope it helps you and if not just ask

jimdaworm · 09-28-2003, 04:11 PM

Thanks... that was all the info I needed I got it all working now! Hey do you know how I remove xawtv so I can install xawdecode... because I want to decode a tv channel that we have here (Canal+) I have a program that worked in windows MoreTV but apparently xawdecode (the decoding purely for educational uses of course!) does the trick in linux

Thanks again

Adam

linksocc · 09-28-2003, 05:10 PM

I would like to help you but I don't know how to do that

da3210 · 05-06-2005, 12:06 AM

Hi everybody...

I have a Zaapa TV card and I have done all what you wrote (recompile the kernel and edit /etc/modules.conf) but i can't make it works.

Any idea?

I don't know if i have to edit /etc/modules.conf exactly like you wrote or if it's only a guide.
This is what i add to the modules.conf:

Code:

# Support for i2c and lm_sensors
alias char-major-89    i2c-dev
alias char-major-81 bttv
options bttv card=78 autoload=0 radio=1
post-install bttv insmod tuner type=32

I think my data card it's:

card 78
tuner 32
radio 1

But i don't know how to introduce in the modules.conf

Sorry about my english and i hope you can help me

jimdaworm · 05-06-2005, 01:19 AM

What card do you have? Its MUY importante that you get the right number:

Good luck

da3210 · 05-06-2005, 06:16 AM

I have a zaapa tv cature card:

lspci:

0000:00:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11)
0000:00:0b.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)

search in google i found :
http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/sh...cat=196&page=1

because of this in the file : /etc/modules.conf
i write:

Code:

# Support for i2c and lm_sensors
alias char-major-89    i2c-dev
alias char-major-81 bttv
options bttv card=78 autoload=0 radio=1
post-install bttv insmod tuner type=32

i think i did every step in the kernel but im not sure about this

thank you

You should not edit the modules.conf directly in Debian. Try this as root modprobe bttv card=78 tuner=32 with maybe radio=1 on the end if it does not get detected correctly. You can check to see if it loads properly by using dmesg the output should look similar to this.

Code:

If you already have the modules loaded then use rmmod to remove them first. BTW what kernel are you running?
