Two TV cards (AverTV 771 and Hauppauge PV 350), how to get them to play nice?

barbex · 02-03-2006, 05:07 PM

Hello everyone!

I'm building a media center thing that eventually is going to be a mythtv box. But I'm not there yet.

I have two TV cards that both worked perfectly by themselves but I can't put them both into the system.

First, information:

Ubuntu, Kernel 2.6.12-10-386

TV cards:
AverMedia AverTV 771 DVB-T
Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350

Ok, I see that the bttv card is not happy but it was working before I installed the ivtv drivers. I have both dvb-bt8xx and ivtv in modules and I don't understand why they get in each others way. What do all the unknown symbols mean?

I'm fairly new to Linux, I need some hints what I can try next.
Ideas, hints?

halvy · 02-04-2006, 05:14 PM

it sounds like you need to update the drivers or compile this feature (ie having two cards at once-- working on one sys).

compiling your driver/software for these cards is really not that bad.. 3 commands, and the benefits are overwelming, like being able to see where any potentional problems may arise, and having a system which will be optimal for your unique situations.

-please tell us how you plan to use these cards.

-have you installed them one at time-- or are you trying to do both at once?

-sometimes you can find better/newer drivers (than what is showing up in your repositories, or the manufacturers site)-- by hunting.. because there are people 'out there' that write them.

good luck and lettuce know.

I would certainly be willing to do that if that would solve my problems.

Both of them working? ;-))

Kidding. I want to have both cards working at the same time to make use of the different stations we have here on DVB-T and analog cable. Also that way I would be able to record two shows at the same time. I'm planning to use MythTV for all that.

I tried it all!
I started with both cards at the same time: nothing worked. I reinstalled Ubuntu and started with just the DVB-T card.

Just the AverTV 771 DVB-T cards present: modprobe dvb-bt8xx and searching for the correct channel.conf and I watched TV with xine.

Put the Hauppauge PVR 350 in the system and compiled the ivtv 0.4.2 drivers, no more TV.

Took out the AverTV 771 and removed dvb-bt8xx from modules and huzza! I could watch TV with mplayer using ivtv-tune in a seperate terminal.

Installed mythtv with apt-get and failed at adding channels via XMLTV because the server is broken or something.

Now I wanted to verify today that everything still worked ok but unfortunatly as of this moment nothing works and I don't know why!
I'm cursed or something.

Well... the dvb drivers are part of the kernel, I don't know how to go about replacing them and the ivtv drivers are new and freshly compiled.

I'm going to poke around some more to get it back working like it was yesterday but I would really appreciate any help and ideas.

halvy · 02-05-2006, 07:42 PM

- i assume both drivers are for linux?

- i would test using zapping or xawtv -- but not mythtv.. we (you i mean

are getting ahead of ourseves here.. maybe even 'un-install' myth for now, for fear that it will create more problems.

- do whatever it takes to get to the point of where you were, when both cards worked 'seperately'... even if you need to reinstall the whole os.

- at that point we need to see if the 2nd card is being recognized 'at all'-- even if it is still not 'working properly'.

again good luck, let us know.

barbex · 02-07-2006, 04:00 AM

Man I'm glad somebody else is wasting braincells on this too...

Yes of course, ivtvdriver.org is a project specificly for the Hauppauge cards and the dvb drivers are part of the kernel.

I did test it with mplayer, tvtime and xawtv but right now nothing works, I did not test it with mythtv, because I could not get the channels configured. I did a "apt-get remove" on everything mythtv but that hasn't changed anything.

Yep, looks like a reinstall right now. I'm getting really good with those. A pity, I got quite attached to the system as it is by now.

I think it is recognized without problems and just to be able to compare later on, I'm posting my stuff here right now:

We'll see if there are any differences. What I don't understand is, why I can't fix it without a reinstall? I compiled the ivtv module again. I mean, this is not Windows with hidden registry keys, compiling should fix things in my very humbled opinion.

compiling does what it is suppose to do, that is, point you to possible problems and help you tweak the program to help match your unique system to optimal... it does not fix anything that is beyond that (like two tv cards).

having backups (good ones, like a daily or bi-daily at least) would help in speeding up things, plus you would be able to have all your settings 'there' instead of having to do them all over after a 'regular' install.

try sbackup (simple-backup), which is powerful, simple (has gui) and it works.

you can set it to do backups whenever you'd like, even over your network.

or if you want to do it yourself and make a 'ghost, or clone', use partimage.

as far as 'fixing it' in leu of re-installing.. well as long as we learn 'why' me mussed up someting.. that *is* fixing it-- for the 'next time'.. no?

i mean with all the complexities involved with an os, it is imposible to learn or know everything.

many, many times it is just better to try and figure out what YOU did wrong, and then you won't again.

anyway nuff of my preaching..

so that giberish from lspci is ONE card in now, right?

now for dvb-- make sure there aren't more (better drivers) in addition to the ones in the kernel...

* i find it hard to believe the kernel (which is only 1.2 mb) has ALL the programs needed for that card!

i'm sorry we seem to be going over the s a m e old stuff again barb, but we need to cover the basics before we operate on the patient any further.

and to be frank (or halvy, or john..) if i knew what the issue was with your project, i would just point it out.

i'm big on multimedia and am currently putting together a debian os which will be multimedia/ham radio/hacker centric.

sooo i kinda relish in helping with problems like which you present, because i will probably need to impliment some sort of video recording program before i release this puppy.

right now all i really have ready is vlc.

One card, analog tv, PVR 350. I wanted to reduce my problems.

The dvb card worked right away, it just took me hours to find the channel config file for xine. But I took it out for now, hopefully it will be easy to add later.

You know what is really frustrating? I picked those two cards because I read somewhere that they easily worked together. Of course I can't find where I read that anymore. *grmpf*.

Well, on to that horrible ivtv installation, see how it goes this time.

Thanks for staying with me here, halvy!

looks the same to me then before. No idea why it didn't work.

Note to european users of ivtv-tune: Tuning like this:

Code:

ivtv-tune -c 23 -d /dev/video0

only works in the US (of course! who knew there are more countries in this world.. ok I'll stop.)

For Europe you have to tune like this:

Code:

ivtv-tune -teurope-west -c E2 -d /dev/video0

or

Code:

ivtv-tune -teurope-west -c SE6 -d /dev/video0

I'm so making an image of this partition now!

halvy · 02-08-2006, 04:19 PM

ok in preperation for that dvb.

- looking over this thread i noticed you never responded to whether you found any different drives for this beast (dvb card)... i 'know' you said it is compiled with the kernel (i assume as a module), but that is NOT the same as having a specific driver for that particular card.

- do a:

apt-get remove --purge mythtv

just to make sure all references and configs are removed (for now).

- at the cmd line type:

hwinfo > /root/Desktop/hwinfo.txt

the /root... is wherever you want the file to be placed so we can look at it. in gnome at least you will need to creat an empty file called hwinfo.txt (because the command line requires it when requesting this type of info). what we are doing here is using a prog named hwinfo, which will tell us more info than a engineer would want to know about your hardware. when you copy it to the thread you can narrow it down to the several references we are concerned about, if that is easiest for you.

- pray..

barbex · 02-09-2006, 04:36 AM

Well, I had to apt-get it first and the thingy (<) whatsitcalled was the wrong way around, so if anybody finds this, it should be:

Code:

hwinfo > /home/xxx/hwinfo.txt

Allrighty!

I put the AverTV 771 DVB-T back in the system and got hwinfo to do it's thing.
Oh boy, that's a lot of infotmation. Let's see, this is basically what dmesg puts out too:

Are we knowledgeable now? ;-)

I'm going to look for new drivers, so far I have not done anything for the DVB card.

Edit:
I can't find anything. All drivers I see are described as already being part of the kernel.
So I'm just going to modprobe them and see what happens (as if I didn't know that alrady)

barbex you can see in sections 24 & 25 for the dvb that the driver is not active.

the driver is everything with these things.. they have to be perfect.

i don't care what something/one else said about the kernel having the driver, it does't matter because it is NOT working. you can read where bttv is not active... but in the huagpauge it is.

and it doesn't matter that the card works seperately on just the standard drivers with the kernel.. it is NOT enough to do what you want it to.

we need to find the correct driver(s)-- i will help you look.

or else you need to ndiswrap one up from win. this card does not seem to be linux compatable..

halvy · 02-09-2006, 07:30 AM

hold on to your hat-- maybe i spoke tooo quickly.

first tho, check this out.. i'll post if i find more.

http://www.hants.lug.org.uk/cgi-bin/...s/DVBAverMedia

what it says there is that there were 'revisions' to the 771, so the bttv drivers may not be enough...

however that may not be true here for several reasons, one is that you said the card 'works' standing alone.

also there was some guy working on a seperate driver, but i have not had time to research it further yet... this is something that can and does happen quite often in the linux world.. that is, other people taking matters into their own hands when corportations let the unix community down.

the card is definitly a windoze one, but that does not necessarily mean you can't use it.. the trick of course is to figure out why it doesn't work when another card is installed.

i believe you'll get it done eventually

halvy · 02-09-2006, 07:49 AM

just in case you forgot, pop in knoppmyth livecd just out of curiousity, to see what it says.

i'll look into this more later tommorow (today i mean)... i'm 'sleep talking'-- i think

True, I'm sorry, I did not load the modules when I did the hwinfo.

But, here is what happens, when I try to do it:

Code:

modprobe dvb_bt8xx
WARNING: Error inserting bttv (/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-k7/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
WARNING: Error inserting bt878 (/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-k7/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/bt8xx/bt878.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
WARNING: Error inserting dst (/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-k7/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/bt8xx/dst.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

As you can see, dvb_bt8xx calls the necessary modules and that is how I got the card working when it was all by itself. Not working that way right now.

If you care to look here: http://diy.prettymad.net/index.php/H...d/New/20050918
or here:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.ph..._DVB-T_771_PCI

you see that the card is supposed to be working under Linux, the bt878 chipset is some run of the mill thing as I understand. That is why I got the card actually.

now, if I look at dmesg:

I would say that the ivtv module for the PVR-350 runs just fine and indeed, I can watch tv with mplayer! (Gilmore Girls is on!)

Anyway, my limited knowledge about Linux and it's modules tells me, that ivtv and bttv (and it's friends) both are trying to use tveeprom.ko and bttv.ko.

But they are looking in differnt folders for it, why is it a problem?

During the install of ivtv I had to hide/rename the following objects in /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-k7/kernel/drivers/media/video/:
msp3400.ko, tda9887.ko, tuner.ko, tveeprom.ko
But the respective objects for ivtv got installed in /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-k7/ivtv/

Nobody touched anything in /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-k7/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/ ,
/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-k7/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.ko is unchanged!

Why is the dvb stuff trying to use the Hauppauge stuff and why is it all so complicated?

Ah, I'm still having fun!

try this.

http://www.opensubscriber.com/messag...t/1805201.html

you may even want to try switching ivtv drivers to the 'other version' (whatever that is since i don't know if you have the newer or older ones).

also, i am going to break out an old dvb card out that i never have tried.. and see if i can figure out something since i have an anolog card in now.

also look into setting up a second video in dev.. that is, you should have /dev/video0 (which is probably the analog card.. now we need to tell system that we want dvb to go on /dev/video1.

although this may already be the case, so double check.

hang in there.. it won't belong before this will be solved, and you'll have something else to worry about with this interesting project
