Re: 2 WinTV go cards with bttv2 ?

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



My bad.  The problem was that I copied some old bttv options to the bttv2
line in my modules.conf when I installed bttv2.

I had:
options bttv2           card=10 radio=1

It should have just been:
options bttv2           card=10

because the "radio=1" option sets the radio minor device number to 1 for
the first card, but it should be 64, so the second card fails when it
tries to grab minor device 1 for its capture.  To use radio devices on
both cards, "radio=64,65" would do the trick.

Sorry for the noise.
