Help with FlyVideo 2000

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



Hi,

I'm new to the list, but a quick lookaround in the past several months'
archives didn't reveal any useful info regarding this particular
TV/Capture card. It seems to be quite different from the version listed in
the BTTV Cardlist (FlyVideo 2000S). According to the manual, it's
compatible with the FlyVideo 3000 card which uses the SAA7134 chip (Stereo
audio decoding).

First, the hardware Specs:

Phillips SAA7130 based, mono audio decoding only, no FM radio option.
Audio out fed into the Soundcard (SBLive 128) Audio Input jack.

The PCB has version LR 138 Rev. C

Tuner block: PAL B/G standard, containing
  Phillips TDA9800T
  Phillips TDA6503AT
(I opened the metal shield casing to check this)

Other additional ICs (on PCI board):
  Phillips  HEF4052BT C5917ME (16 pin)
  <Unknown>  LVA001 0028GC41 (18 pin)

Output from lspci -vv for the card:
00:09.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors: Unknown device 7130
(rev 01)
	Subsystem: Philips Semiconductors: Unknown device 0000
	Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop-

	Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort-
<TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
	Latency: 64 (3750ns min, 9500ns max)
	Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 5
	Region 0: Memory at e1001000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K]
	Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 1
		Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA
PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-)
		Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-


I've managed to install and use the card successfully in Win 98 to decode
TV channels here in Malaysia (Western Europe based channel numbering,
apparently). However, attempts to get it working under Linux has been
unsuccessful.

My Linux setup: RH 7.1, patched with all relevant errata.
Custom Kernel 2.4.17-0.12 (from Redhat Rawhide site), patched with
Gerd Knorr's saa7134 0.14 + btaudio/videodev/v4l2 patches for 2.4.17 +
bttv 0.8.33.
xawtv version 3.69.

When I tried to modprobe saa7134, tuner, tvaudio, the output I got was:

I tried to add the Modules.conf entries to my /etc/modules.conf, and
replaced 'char-major-81-0 bttv' with saa7134 but
I still haven't gotten any output from xawtv. Xawtv lists inputs as
Composite0, Composite1, Composite2, Composite3, Composite4. I tried every
input option but still no TV picture. I haven't tried with a composite
source yet as my PC is rather far away from my AV equipment.

Are there any specific insmod options I need to set for the tuner,
saa7134, etc?

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards,
T.C.
