Hello, I finally found some time to try out the new MythTV 0.21 port. Here are my notes. Doing all this on a machine running: root@kg-quiet# uname -a FreeBSD kg-quiet.kg4.no 7.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.2-PRERELEASE #3: Sun Mar 29 14:46:57 CEST 2009 root@kg-quiet.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/QUIET amd64 The machine has a PVR-350 card, and I'm using usleep's pvrxxx driver: Mar 29 19:35:04 kg-quiet kernel: cxm0: <Conexant iTVC15 MPEG Coder> mem 0xf8000000-0xfbffffff irq 20 at device 0.0 on pci2 Mar 29 19:35:04 kg-quiet kernel: cxm_iic0: <Conexant iTVC15 / iTVC16 I2C controller> on cxm0 Mar 29 19:35:04 kg-quiet kernel: iicbb0: <I2C bit-banging driver> on cxm_iic0 Mar 29 19:35:04 kg-quiet kernel: cxm0: Eeprom PAL Mar 29 19:35:04 kg-quiet kernel: tuner: type set to 38 (Philips PAL/SECAM multi (FM1216ME MK3)) by cxm Mar 29 19:35:07 kg-quiet kernel: cxm0: SAA7115 rev 1 video decoder Mar 29 19:35:07 kg-quiet kernel: cxm0: MSP4418G-B3 audio decoder Mar 29 19:35:07 kg-quiet kernel: cxm0: IR Remote Mar 29 19:35:07 kg-quiet kernel: cxm0: [ITHREAD] Mar 29 19:35:07 kg-quiet kernel: cxm0: encoder firmware version 0x2060039 Mar 29 19:35:07 kg-quiet kernel: cxm0: decoder firmware version 0x2020023 In mythtv-setup I choose a "V4L analog card" - there didn't seem to be a more appropriate setting. Specifically, why can't I select a "MPEG-2 encoder card" or something like that? The choices are: Analog V4L capture card MJPEG capture card (Matrox G200, DC10) USB MPEG-4 encoder box (Plextor ConvertX, etc) DBox2 TCP/IP cable box HDHomeRun DTV tuner box Network Recorder Video source setup and the rest of the things seems to work, but it's kind of hard to test when I can't get my tuner / capture card working. More to come, once I figure this out. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
