I cant get sound or color to work in tvtime.. I have the module loaded and all i get black and white video but not color... I do in windows though.. I have a ati tv wonder ve tv capture card.. I use the kernel 2.6 if that means anything.. And im connected to a vcr using a coaxial cable..


Sound is working now just not color.. I had to unmute the line in...

Hi,

If the colour issue arises just when you connect your vcr then there's something wrong with this connection. Does ati wonder have a tuner ? Does it work with the tuner ?

I remember that my playstation won't display color using japanese games unless I bought a different adaptor. I don't know if your issue is related to this.

Bye

What do you mean tuner and all... Im new to tv cards.. Just got it the other day.. Had it working in windows but i hate windows and now that i got this far i just need to do this so i can remove wndows...

Tuner: Has a coaxial plug on the back, big black/silver rectangular box on the card itself.

It does, have a smiliar card, all the ati tv cards do, wouldnt be much of use without a tuner.

Hook the cable directly from the wall to the card (no vcr in middle). Any color?
If there is color than its the vcr.
If no then its a issue with the card, most likely a software setting rather than a hardware problem since you get color through windows.

If its a new card this prob wont apply but check for jumpers on the card (color or b/w), there maybe a software switch that by passes there settings that the linux software doesnt have a option for.

ah its not the vcr as that works when its done in windows.. In windows all i had to do was remove a reg to get it working but linux doesnt have reg keys.. So its something with the software or setup.. On boot i get a few lines like TDA9875 @ somehting not found..

Also how can i make those programs work (tvtime) with a regular user.. It cant find any video as a regular user i guess because of video0 is root only or something..

Anyone?

chown root:video /dev/video0
/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 18 video
--edit /etc/group
--add your user name to the group video
