double images, bttv-0.7.107, PixelView PlayTV Pro

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi, I've been using video for linux with my BT878 based Prolink PixelView PlayTV Pro card, model PV-BT878P+(w/FM), for quite some time.

The card has a composite, SVideo and TV input, which I have been able to view video from.
I've been using a web application to capture still images to display over the web.

Originally when I setup the V4L and the BTTV driver it took a lot of effort, and when I finally managed to get it working I really didn't know which hack got the thing to work. I remember replacing the BTTV code in the kernel structure with a patch, or drivers from a download of newer files. If I remember right the patch screwed things up worse so I started over and then updated the kernel structure's BTTV drivers with new ones. Ultimately though, I wound up using modules, for which I would load them this way (videodev was compiled in the kernel):

insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.o card=37 tuner=2 radio=1 autoload=0 bttv_verbose=2 bttv_debug=1

insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/media/video/tuner.o debug=1 type=2


Now I've started fresh, and built a new kernel (still 2.4.22) with the kernel's BTTV (older drivers) and videodev as modules, then compiled bttv-0.7.107 and installed it so the /lib/modules/2.4.22/.../bttv files are the newest. After loading the drivers with

modprobe bttv card=37 tuner=2 radio=1 bttv_verbose=2 bttv_debug=1

it autoloads videodev.o and tuner.o as expected, but I get images like

Any suggestions?
