Im trying to install v4l drivers for hvr-950q but am having some problems.
When I go to compile it, IT gives me this error

the v4l is already part of your system any reason why you would want to build the.
sudo apt-get install sudo apt-get install libv4l-0
I do know that it comes with it but my 950q is still having problems and I was thinking it could be old drivers. Ive tried most everything else and my last resort is the drivers. Ill try the apt-get and see if it helps
actually it is not old drivers that card has been tested and working since February this year. But the program inteface is the problem hope you read this
go to your model and read the latest comments
Even though this was included in the link that Drakeo posted. It should be mentioned here is that the most like reason that the card is not working is because not because of old drivers, or faulty v4l subsystem and I think you have installed MythTV/TVTime/Mplayer/Xine or similar application, but rather because the firmware is missing download from here http://kernellabs.com/firmware/drxd and place in /lib/firmware. I have been using this card on Ubuntu since 9.04 and it has still been working even after updates (currently on 10.04).
I agree with you and the new patches very per kernel I also am working on compiling that. I need to look at the latest kernel change log to see what is going on.
The kernel supports the device but mythtv and the v4l is getting them to work together. I will keep working on this with you.
maybe we can get theses patches to compile.
I downloaded this latest
then I extreacted it went to v4l2-apps openend it and built it. then installed it. I do not have that device but this is the new stuff for the mythtv program. I went into firmware and mad sure it was built and installed it.
here is Linus latest two days old. here it built for me.
I agree go tux yourself it is a firmware issue.
I decided to move from mythbuntu to mythdora (alsways like fedora better) Anyway now I got the system audio to work, something that mythbuntu could not get to work. However now my tuner card does not work at all. It is able to be seen and loads the firmware correctly. yet when I try to view it in tv time, I get no signal failure. Im really wish I could get the tuner working.
here is the backend log

I see all theses conections to sound refused. Does your user have audio and video permission. and do you have the input correct in your alsa settings
and
seems you do not have the input set in alsa. pulse just reads alsa.
alsa by default is set to Master not PCM
How do I check if the user has A/V permission?
Also I now am able to receive video but am unable to change channels.
