How to view TV in Redhat Linux 9 Kernel 2.4.20-8
I am a new user of Linux, I just installed it in my PC and want to continue using it, I am facing one problem that is relating to watch TV. For the last 15 days or more I am trying to watch TV
in Linux, but failed, Kindly help me. I am sending some information about the current position at my machine. Kindly advise. My mail is little long because I wanted to provide with all the info. I am using 1) P-III 933 Mhz - 128MB RAM - 20 GB HDD 2) Redhat Linux 9 3) Kernel 2.4.20-8 4) /sbin/modprobe bttv card=13 radio=1 results in the following messgage [root@localhost root]# /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o failed bash: /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o:: No such file or directory [root@localhost root]# /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o: insmod bttv failed bash: /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o:: No such file or directory 5) My /etc/modules.conf contains --- alias usb-controller usb-uhci alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : # i2c alias char-major-89 i2c-dev options i2c-core i2c_debug=1 options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1 # bttv alias video bttv alias radio bttv alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 bttv options bttv card=0 radio=1 pll=1 options tuner type=5 debug=0 6) my lspci command output : [root@localhost root]# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82810E DC-133 GMCH [Graphics Memory Controller Hub] (rev 03) 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82810E DC-133 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 03) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801AA PCI Bridge (rev 02) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801AA ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801AA IDE (rev 02) 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801AA USB (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corp. 82801AA SMBus (rev 02) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801AA AC'97 Audio (rev 02) 01:09.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01) 7) When I run Xawtv it results in - [root@localhost root]# xawtv This is xawtv-3.81, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.20-8) Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C can't open /dev/video0: No such device v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device v4l: open /dev/video0: No such device no video grabber device available Finally when I am compiling i2c-2.5.4 from root "/" it is giving compilation error. For bttv also there are some compilation error. Myh TV tuner card is Frontech made. I think this Kernel is bttv enabled and the specific problem might be Video4Linux related Please reply also to my email id ar2003lin@yahoo.com Regards, A.Roy |
well you've clearly not got the bttv module compiled....
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o: No such file or directory kind speaks for itself... |
Re : TV viewing in Linux
Dear Chris,
I tried several times to compile bttv but failed to do so, it is giving some error. Would you please write me the steps to do so. Do I also have to do something with my Kernel. I am actually a new Linux user, and I want to find freedom from Windows. That is why I am searching the solutions for Multimedia in Linux. Regards, ar2003lin ar2003lin@yahoo.com |
TV?
Hi there
Did you get your TV sorted out???? I read your post and thought to myself......was this one of my posts!! I'm at the same stage, new to Linux just coming to terms with things. There is lots of info out there but everyone giving out the info thinks we are experts and don't need the basic info to start. Thanks Dave |
Reply to Dave - regarding TV
Dear Dave,
No not yet! I have lost hope. It seems no solutions are there. Regards, ar2003lin |
well you shouldn't need to do anything, i'd be 99% sure that you should have the bttv driver compiled on there, maybe somethign went wrong during the installation otherwise... try this...
find /lib/modules/ | grep bttv to see is it's there.... looking at this though, you've really done nothign wrong, and it *should* already be working, your modules is set up fine etc... |
