I am trying to get mythtv setup working.
Using Arch linux as the OS.
I have a WinPVR-250 Hauppauge card analog.
I have installed mysql and myth, configured myth ( at least I think I have
it configed).
When selecting the watch tv from mythfrontend it dosen't do anything.
I tried using tvtime and kdetv to check the tv card to see if it is working,
those fail. Trying cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg works and dmesg shows the tv
card initializing. So I know the card is working. I don't know how to test
the card using mplayer ( I have it installed).
Any hints to get myth working?
Thanks.

Shure? This command doesn't work here on a *working* bt878, the
resulting mpg doesn't play with mplayer.

- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't
and
won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible
bug.
I have to decipher what mplayer spit out as I am not versed in mplayer.
I will try to recompile mplayer as generic CPU and not AMD specfic and see
if it still barfs.
tvtime barfs with this too:
v4l2: ioctl request buffers failed: Invalid argument
I don't know what this is telling me.
Thank you

i.e. mplayer tv://10 *should* work.

From scanning the docs it appears to hate Hauppauge anything.

The docs read as dated and in need of an update but should have your answer
some place.

No but so far I find scanning the "stop signs" that appear to be related to
my questions have at least related information. I haven't managed to "turn it
on" myself yet either but I'll be following this discussion for that reason.
Speaking of the thing in general, I don't see what it can add to the DVR I
rent from the cable company for like $5/mon save a bit more flexibility. Looks
at the moment I will be using it as a post processor to the DVR for killing
commercials and such.

I have found that ivtv has changed their driver for the card and I will need
to revert to a old kernel to get it to work with myth.

If I don't know the answer throwing in an answer never hurts. If you are
going to dedicate a machine to this what do you care which release you use?

I use Arch because of the way the system is put together, some what like
gentoo. I don't care for yum/rpm too much trouble installing custom apps
for me. Fedora is too buggy form me. Arch lets me customize and optimze
my installation.

Not to sound like I am arguing but again, if dedicated to this job all the
rest of the reasons go away. And my answer was this custom app installed
itself effortlessly. Given the nature of the application with the projects
starting in half hour blocks that is a lot of optimization to notice a
difference.
Anyway, may be both have good fortune. I have to finish building my new
machine before I start migrating the present machine to the project.
