Hauppauge Card not found, no /dev/video

hey there all,

i have a hauppauge 274  with PVR-150
i cant seem to get arch to find it.
In ubuntu, it showed up as /dev/video0
but there is no /dev/video on this.

i am thinking that i am missing a module for it that i need to modprobe and add to modules in rc.conf, but cannot figgure out which that would be.

i ubuntu i had an extra tab in vlc when i went to file -> open capture device that showed something like PVR ( i think )
but that tab is missing in vlc now.

ok, any tips would be much appreciated.. thanks

I believe that Hauppauge needs the bttv module also.

ok, great, the bttv module did load ( ivtv was already loaded )
when i do lsmod i now get this ( only relevent stuff )

v4l1_compat            13956  3 bttv,ivtv,videodev
i2c_viapro              9496  0 
i2c_core               23552  9 bttv,cx25840,tuner,wm8775,nvidia,ivtv,i2c_algo_b

but i still do not have a /dev/video anything, is there something i am supposed to do to make the thing found by udev?

pardon my inexperience, and thanks for your help.

Look for it in /dev/v4l/video0 I see that arch might put it here in some other cases. Let me know if you find it.

Re: Hauppauge Card not found, no /dev/video

I was having the same problem but I have fixed it now. The problem was that the firmware was not installed. If you run:
dmesg | egrep -i '(ivtv|tveeprom|tuner)'

you will probably see that it says it can't find you're firmware. If this is the case install ivtv-utils. It contained everything I needed:

pacman -S ivtv-utils

GoodLUCK!
