TV card modules problem

hraposo · 08-31-2006, 06:53 AM

I try configure a TV card and I execute a script, but the output is

Code:

ERROR: Module bt878 does not exist in /proc/modules
ERROR: Module bttv does not exist in /proc/modules

My question is why I don't have this modules? How can I get it?

you can either do a 'agt-get install bt878 btv'

or ...

go inside here ::

linux.bytesex.org

.

'agt-get install bt878 btv'

btv and bt878 package aren't a apt-packages

Hrapos which script did you execute?

hraposo · 08-31-2006, 10:29 AM

this script:

Quote:

#!/bin/bash

rmmod bt878
rmmod bttv
modprobe bttv card=37 tuner=2 radio=1

exit 0

What that error means is that the module isn't loaded, not that you don't have it.
To make sure you have it you can run

Code:

sudo find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "bttv*"

and you should see "/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.ko"
if you want to load the modules at boot then add "bttv" to /etc/modules and make a file called "/etc/modprobe.d/tv_card" and add

Code:

options bttv card=37 tuner=2 radio=1"

Now when I execute the script the output is

Quote:

ERROR: Module bttv does not exist in /proc/modules

binary_y2k2
You told me to put in /etc/modprob.d/tv_card

Quote:

options bttv card=37 tuner=2 radio=1"

My question is: the command finish with commas (")?

binary_y2k2 · 08-31-2006, 11:44 AM

The (") was a typo, my mistake
add the line without the quote

hraposo · 08-31-2006, 11:44 AM

Now don't appears

How can I do to load the module bt878

chrisstooss · 08-31-2006, 12:44 PM

Try

modprobe bttv card=37

and than dmesg | grep bttv

I don't think you can rmmod module if it isnt loaded first

hraposo · 08-31-2006, 12:49 PM

when I do "dmesg|grep bttv" the outup was

Quote:

[17179660.376000] bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded
[17179660.376000] bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture
[17179676.520000] bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded
[17179676.520000] bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture

I think that the bttv module is loaded.
But my problem now is load bt878 module on boot. How can I do that?

hraposo · 08-31-2006, 01:34 PM

I solved the problem of load bt878 on boot. I put bt878 in /etc/modules.
My problem now is when I start TVtime appears the message:

Quote:

No such file or directory /dev/vide0

This means that ubuntu don't recognizes my usb tv-card. What can I do now?
