Hi; I have posted this problem as a bug but am not getting any real suggestions. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=497750 NOTE BELOW: "card 'Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1800'" NOTE: I am using the latest Fedora 10 released kernel: Linux 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64 Below is a summary of the exchanges: Description of problem: I can get analogue cable tv picture (rogers.com) but no sound. ~/.tvtime/stationlist seems ok. Network, channel and title bar tags are as they should be. They change as I change channels but the actual picture doesn't change with the channel but remains showing the video for CNN channel 33 Additional info: ]$ tvtime -v Running tvtime 1.0.2. Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml Reading configuration from /home/bill/.tvtime/tvtime.xml cpuinfo: CPU Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7400 @ 2.80GHz, family 6, model 7, stepping 10. cpuinfo: CPU measured at 2800.093MHz. tvtime: Cannot set priority to -10: Permission denied. xcommon: Display :0.0, vendor The X.Org Foundation, vendor release 10503000 ... xvoutput: Using XVIDEO adaptor 280: NV17 Video Texture. speedycode: Using MMXEXT optimized functions. station: Reading stationlist from /home/bill/.tvtime/stationlist.xml videoinput: Using video4linux2 driver 'cx23885', card 'Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1800' (bus PCIe:0000:02:00.0). ... . If it is any help, I dual boot into WindowsXP. The WinTV-HVR-1800 works fine in Windows. ______________ Response: Also -- I've found this page: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-1800. You can follow the instructions there but they mention also firmware update which I would skip for now... You may try to just install mplayer and try to test with the one station you can tune: start mplayer to tune the channel, quit it, and then run mplayer (full commandline at the bottom of the referenced page) -- your card should provide device with MPEG2 encoded signal including sound (/dev/video1). _____________ I got the following return when I tried mplayer as suggested on the linuxtv.org site. ]$ mplayer /dev/video1 -vo x11 -nobps -autosync 30 -forceidx -hardframedrop -vc ffmpeg12 -idle -menu -cache 16384 -cache-seek-min 50 -mc 0 -ni MPlayer SVN-r28461-4.3.2 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7400 @ 2.80GHz (Family: 6, Model: 23, Stepping: 10) mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control. [MENU] Can't open menu config file: /home/bill/.mplayer/menu.conf Struct fs_cfg doesn't have any auto-close field [MENU] bad attribute auto-close=yes in menu 'open_list' at line 57 Menu initialized: /etc/mplayer/menu.conf Playing /dev/video1. Cache fill: 0.00% (0 bytes) __________________________ I was just wondering. I have not set up my remote control for this card --> "Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control." Since channel changing and volume can be controlled by the remote perhaps this is the problem? I ask before experimenting because I don't want to throw in an unnecessary variable if I can help it. Or, perhaps you know how to turn the remote off. The remote control isn't necessary or used with the TV Tuner program I downloaded from Hauppauge for use in WindowsXP. __________________________ I have tried to get instructions from the Hauppauge site, the Linuxtv.org site and the tvtime site. Nothing seemed useful, yet all claim that the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1800 PCe should work in Linux. -- Regards Bill Fedora 10, Gnome 2.24.3 Evo.2.24.5, Emacs 22.3.1
