I had similar problem, and didn't find solution to it. For this
purpose, ran this script to test all cards:
#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 0 100` ; do
rmmod bttv tuner
insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o card=$i tuner=5 bttv_verbose=2
v4lctl setstation 1
ffmpegrec -ff vcd -F 75 -o /cddata/tmp/testaa_bttv_${i}.mpg
sleep 2
done
I tried script with tuner=5 nad with no tuner-parameter. My tuner is
FI1216, so tuner=5 was ok for me. I did get sound with some
card-parameters, but my computer was getting unstable. I gave up, and
got another card, Hauppage bt878 card. It was working perfectly, but
still I got my computer unstable. So I don't think script was the
reason. (see my mail 'No sound from 878TV Rev 3E (kernel crash with bttv)'
and 'bttv 0.7.X crashes AMD Duron machines?' in this mailing list)
Here is another script for trying to find suitable
settings. gpiomask-value I used is based on which gpio-pins are
connected at all.
#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 0 255` ; do
rmmod bttv tuner
sleep 2
hex=`echo "obase=16;$i" | bc`
insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o card=10 tuner=5 bttv_verbose=2 gpiomask=0xff0f audioall=0x${hex}00 bttv_gpio=1
v4lctl setstation 1
ffmpegrec -ff vcd -F 75 -o /cddata/tmp/testaa_bttv_${i}_a.mpg
sleep 2
rmmod bttv tuner
sleep 2
insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o card=10 tuner=5 bttv_verbose=2 gpiomask=0xff0f audioall=0x${hex}0F bttv_gpio=1
v4lctl setstation 1
ffmpegrec -ff vcd -F 75 -o /cddata/tmp/testaa_bttv_${i}_b.mpg
sleep 2
done
Hmm, maybe I should re-run those, now I'm having card connected to
another computer, and no crashes.
