[ATrpms-users] Installing ivtv drivers on CentOS

[Matthew Albright]

I just got ivtv working with CentOS 5 and a PVR 250 by following the instructions here: http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#capture 

In short:

# yum install ivtv ivtv-firmware ivtv-kmdl-$KVER
# /sbin/depmod -a
# /sbin/modprobe ivtv

If that doesn't work for you, I'd make sure your kernel version (uname -r) and the ivtv-kmdl version match... the newest CentOS5 kernel is 2.6.18-8.1.15, but I see you have the 2.6.18-8 kmdl installed.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [ATrpms-users] Installing ivtv drivers on CentOS


I used the ivtv package from the atrpms site to install the ivtv
 drivers 
on my CentOS 5 system.  The drivers seemed to install ok but I can't 
seem to find a /dev/video device.  I have been reading the howto on the
 
ivtvdriver.org site and it mentions setting up the device with udev.  
Does the udev rule get created by installing the ivtv drivers or do I 
still have to figure out how to define the device to udev manually?  If
 
so anyone have a udev definition example for a Hauppage PVR150 hanging 
around?

Packages that were installed when I did yum install ivtv were:

ivtv - 1:0.10.6-131.el5.i386 - An iTVC15/16 and CX23415/16 driver
ivtv-firmware - 2:20070217-15.noarch - Firmware for the PVR 
250/350/150/500 model series
ivtv-kmdl-2.6.18-8.el15 - 1:0.10.6-131.el5.i686 - IVTV kernel drivers
perl-Video-ivtv - 0.13-8.0.el5.i386 - Perl modules for ivtv support


lspci shows the device to be a Multimedia video controller: Internext 
Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)

I know the hard works because I previously had all this working under 
Suse 10.2 but had some issues with Suse and have recently switched over
 
to CentOS 5.

Thanks,
Dan
